The Netball World Cup 2023 is taking place in Cape Town, South Africa this Summer from 28 July to 6 August.

BBC television will have live coverage of matches from Monday 31 July up to and including the final across BBC Television, iPlayer, Sounds and the BBC Sport website.

BBC Radio 5 Live will have coverage of key matches, with commentary of selected games on 5 Live and 5 Sports Extra, including opening weekend fixtures, England v Malawi and England v Scotland.

The BBC has been integral to the growth of the game, broadcasting live Netball as part of its Commonwealth Games coverage since 1998, and also covering the Netball World Cup 2019 from Liverpool, which saw New Zealand win the final against Australia in dramatic fashion.

This year’s tournament will see England and Scotland go up against each other in Pool B, alongside additional home nation representation with Wales in Pool C.
