ITV will broadcast Netball Aid 2026, a celebrity match of netball that raises money for homelessness charity Shelter.

This is the second year of Netball Aid, and in 2025 it was shown by the BBC on iPlayer and raised money for Children In Need. This time round it will take place on 15 November, with a 90-minute show on ITV as well as a 30-minute highlights package on ITV4. 

The event will begin with the Invictus match, supporting Prince Harry’s Invictus Games Foundation, before England Men’s Netball take on the Birmingham Basketball Rockets in Battle of the Balls, celebrating 100 years of netball.

Later, the celebrity match will tip off at 3pm, featuring the likes of Olympic champions Dame Denise Lewis, Dame Laura Kenny and Jade Jones, former England rugby captain Chris Robshaw, 2026 Apprentice winner Karishma, Capital Breakfast host Sian Welby and 2026 Love Island star Ellie Chadwick. 

Alison Akinrinlola, co-founder of Netball Aid, said: “We are delighted to have ITV on board as our official broadcaster. ITV is home to some of the biggest moments in British sport and entertainment, and to have a partner of that calibre championing Netball Aid is a dream come true.

“Their team has shared our passion from the very first conversation and we couldn’t ask for a better partner to bring Netball Aid into homes across the country.”
