Adelaide Thunderbirds | Netball Season Home Games | Apr – Jul 2026
Adelaide Thunderbirds 2026 Netball Season – be there as your Adelaide Thunderbirds take to the court in the world’s best national netball competition – Suncorp Super Netball.
For the first time in Suncorp Super Netball history, the Adelaide Thunderbirds were crowned champions in 2023 and the trophy was brought home to South Australia. The Thunderbirds then went undefeated at home in Adelaide for the entirety of 2024, and for the first time in 11 years, were crowned Minor Premiers. Booking their place in the Grand Final for the second-consecutive year, the Thunderbirds secured back-to-back premierships with a 2-point victory at home over the Vixens and secured the trophy for SA for another year.
The Adelaide Thunderbirds will celebrate 30 years in 2026 as the club pays homage to its rich history. A proud foundation club of Australian netball, the Thunderbirds have represented South Australia since 1997 and brought glory to the state in each of its six premierships.
In celebration of this milestone, the club has unveiled its new home dress, inspired by the design worn during their first back-to-back premierships in 1998 and 99. Created by the club’s apparel partner Valour Sport, the new design features the Thunderbirds’ inaugural logo from 1997 and six stars representing each premiership.
