Netball Super League: Team Bath not in relaunched league

Five-time Super League champions Team Bath have not been included in the relaunched Netball Super League , which reduces to eight teams as part of plans to go professional from 2025.

Claire Nelson, the NSL's managing director, has previously said player salary increases would be gradual. The new NSL plans aim to translate that to consistent interest in the elite game by improving the league with 50% of games to be played at major arenas, better salaries and increased competition across the teams through smaller squads."This is without doubt the right time, and the right thing to do for the future of our sport that will help to strengthen every area of the game and inspire generations to come.

Loughborough Lightning won the 2023 Super League, beating London Pulse in the final, but the top four teams who made the semi-finals had already booked their place with four rounds of the season left to play and the competition levels in the league were called into question. Nottingham Forest Netball is owned and managed by the Premier League football team, which has "major plans to develop a multi-sport model for the football club".The NSL said it would "work with all exiting clubs to ensure they receive a fitting farewell and are celebrated for the significant impact they have had on the league and the sport as a whole to date".
