The minor semi-final next Saturday will be contested between Lightning and Fever. Minor premiers Giants will face Swifts in the major semi-final at 1pm AEST. Both matches will be held in front of a 50% capacity crowd at Nissan Arena.
EDIT 10/8: The preliminary final will then be fought out at USC Stadium on Saturday August 21 at 3pm AEST, before the premier is crowned in the Grand Final on Saturday August 28 at 2.30pm AEST at Nissan Arena.
EDIT 15/8: after losing to Swifts in the major semi-final yesterday, Giants will face Fever in the preliminary final at USC Stadium next Saturday, August 21.
Swifts will take on Giants in the 2021 Suncorp Super Netball Grand Final in Brisbane next Saturday afternoon (August 28), after Giants edged out Fever by three points in the preliminary final yesterday.
Erin Molan is doing Sunday Footy today in Place of James Bracey who did her Slot on Friday Night.
As well as the link between the Giants’ netball and AFL teams, the Swans also have a close relationship with the Swifts, and there are fears eyeballs could be lured away from the Super Netball decider.
The Super Netball grand final broadcast is set to start at 2.30pm but will not actually begin until 3pm. The AFL clash is scheduled to kick off at 3.20pm.

How did you get this? I did not see it in the schedule anywhere.
It was after the Block in Melbourne at least.
Sorry, meant NSW/QLD.
It’s a shame that the special was not shown in NSW and Qld anywhere. Not even a “late airing” on Gem.
