The 2018 Suncorp Super Netball season will be the second season of the premier Australian netball league. The regular season will begin in April and conclude with the Grand Final in August 2018. The season's commencement has been delayed to late April so as not to interfere with the 2018 Commonwealth Games, to be held at that time of year in the Gold Coast.[1] The fixtures for the season have yet to be released.

Sunshine Coast Lightning are the defending premiers.

Overview

The season will be played over 14 rounds, allowing every team to play each other twice, once at home and once away. The top 4 teams on the standings at the conclusion of the regular season will qualify for the finals series. In the first week of the finals series, the 1st ranked team will host the 2nd ranked team in the major semi-final (with the winner of that match to qualify for the Grand Final) and the 3rd ranked team will host the 4th ranked team in the minor semi-final (with the loser of that match eliminated). The loser of the major semi-final will then host the winner of the minor semi-final in the preliminary final. The winner of the major semi-final will then host the winner of the preliminary final in the Grand Final.[2]
