England to Host New Zealand in Landmark International Mixed and U23 Men’s Series

England Men’s & Mixed Netball Association will host New Zealand Men’s & Mixed Netball Association in an International Mixed and U23 Men’s Test Series in November 2026.

The series will mark the first time a New Zealand Men’s & Mixed side has toured England, making it a significant milestone for the continued growth of the men’s and mixed game internationally.

Across three Tests, the two nations will compete in a high performance series showcasing elite mixed netball alongside emerging U23 men’s talent. Fixtures are planned across three locations in England, taking international netball to different regions and reaching more fans across the country.

Full dates and venues will be confirmed in due course.

England Men’s & Mixed President, Ryan Allan, said:

“We are proud to be hosting New Zealand in what will be a major moment for the men’s and mixed game in this country. This will be the first time New Zealand have toured England, which makes the series particularly special. It reflects the progress both nations are making and our shared ambition to grow the international calendar in a meaningful way.”

New Zealand Men’s & Mixed President, Tania Anderson, added:

“England have been an exciting force in the men’s and mixed game in recent years, and we are pleased to confirm this series for 2026. Competing in England will provide a strong platform for our athletes and supporters, and we look forward to being part of this important moment for the international game.”

The series builds on the strengthening international programme for both nations and reflects the continued expansion of the global men’s and mixed netball calendar.

All matches will be live streamed internationally, with supporters in England able to attend in person and experience elite men’s and mixed netball on home soil.

Further announcements, including venues and ticket details, will follow.
