The ANZ Premiership 2024 is set to be a nail-biter thanks to the sustained brilliance of the Mystics, Stars and Pulse. The switch from the double-header format to one game per week will shake things up, too, and here's where to watch ANZ Premiership live streams online for FREE – from anywhere.

The biggest change for the reigning champions concerns their captaincy. Sulu Fitzpatrick retired on top and Michaela Sokolich-Beatson has stepped into her shoes for the Northern Mystics, who've managed to retain eight of the players that led them to both minor premiers and Grand Final glory last season.

The approach stands in stark contrast with that of the Northern Stars, who finished third in the ladder but reached the Grand Final, only to be taught a brutal netballing lesson on the big stage. They've brought in four new faces that Kiri Wills hopes will strengthen the team in all areas of the court, though Maia Wilson brings a degree of continuity by retaining the armband.

The Central Pulse, who came second in the ladder but lost the eliminator, have gone the other way, retaining seven players but replacing legendary coach Yvette McCausland-Durie with Anna Andrews-Tasola, the team's former assistant coach and specialist shooting coach. Elsewhere, things can surely only get better for the Southern Steel, who went winless last season after rotten luck with injuries.
