Established in 2014 as the Brutal Fruit Netball Premier League, the Telkom Netball League (TNL) is South Africa’s premier semi-professional netball competition, organised by Netball South Africa. In 2019, Telkom became the title sponsor, leading to the league’s current name. The TNL features 16 teams from all nine provinces, divided into two divisions with a promotion and relegation system. Notably, the Free State Crinums clinched the inaugural championship and have secured four titles to date, while the Gauteng Jaguars hold the record with six championships. The league has been instrumental in elevating netball’s profile in South Africa, providing a platform for players to showcase their talents and fostering the sport’s growth nationwide.
