Netball World Cup 2023 preview
England face Australia in their first ever Netball World Cup final today at 5pm BST after notching up an historic 46-40 victory over defending champions New Zealand in yesterday’s semi-final. Can England beat 11-time Netball World Cup champions Australia, as they did to top their group last week, once again and become the 2023 Netball World Cup champions.
Good news for those in the UK: today’s final will be aired live on BBC Two, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app.
The Roses beat the Diamonds 56-55 in Thursday’s thriller – only the second time England have beaten Australia since their Commonwealth Games win in 2018. Meanwhile, Australia beat Jamaica in their semi-final to set up a stunning showdown. That said, it looks like the Aussies' grip on the game may be loosening.
Of course, they remain this Netball World Cup’s No.1-ranked team, but form dictates that the gap – and England’s shock victory – is much tighter than it usually is. The hosts always bring the noise in front of their home fans, and after their fourth-place finish at the last World Cup, at which they got the better of the Sunshine Girls, don’t rule out a deep run for the SPAR Proteas.
The bronze medal game and the huge Eng vs Aus final is coming up today, so read on as we explain how towatch a FREE 2023 Netball World Cup live stream from anywhere with a VPN. We’ve also listed theNetball World Cup groupsat the bottom of this page.
