How do teams enter the Superleague?

The eight teams are chosen after a team or franchises are offered the chance to put together a bid to be entered as a Superleague team. It then comes down to each team’s facilities and all round package. England Netball's committee members then have the final decision. Each franchise has to show financial and sporting ability to be a successful side during the Superleague. Once the eight teams are chosen they receive an equal amount of financial aid from England Netball to prepare them for the season ahead.
