The 2017 ANZ Premiership season is the inaugural season of the ANZ Premiership, the premier domestic netball league in New Zealand. The new league is contested between six teams from around New Zealand, with a total of 47 matches to be played between March and June.
The ANZ Premiership operates as a 14-week tournament with 47 matches during the first half of the calendar year. In 2017, the official pre-season will be held at Te Wānanga o Raukawa Campus in Otaki, with all six teams competing in the tournament between 10–12 March.
The season begins with a 13-week round-robin stage, followed by a two-game finals series. During the round-robin stage, each team plays every other team three times, accumulating competition points throughout the regular season. In the finals series, the 2nd and 3rd-ranked teams on the points table play off in the elimination final. The winner of this plays against the top-ranked team in the grand final.
Games throughout the season will be held on Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays. Three Super Sunday events will be held during the 2017 season, with all 3 games being played featuring all six teams back to back at one venue.
