2026 ANZ Premiership Previews – Round 3

Round 3 of the ANZ Premiership sees early-season momentum begin to take shape, with one unbeaten side, one still searching for its first win, and several evenly matched contenders looking to settle into the competition. 

Key milestones headline the weekend, with GoSweetSpot Mystics shooter Maia Wilson set to reach 150 National League matches, while Avis Magic pair Oceane Maihi and Ali Wilshier bring up 50-match milestones.  

Steel ready to tackle Mystics

The Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel is striving to continue its winning momentum when it tackles the Go Sweet Spot Mystics in Auckland on Sunday.

Any ANZ Premiership clash between two of the competition’s most tenacious teams is always eagerly anticipated by netball fanatics and the stability of their respective lineups heading into 2026 bodes well to see a powerful rivalry continue.

Victory over the Mystics has eluded the southerners in recent times but, with three of the past four games decided by just four goals or less, the intensity of the battles ensures it’s always a hotly-contested encounter.
