Defending champions Australia follow England and Scotland on the opening day as they face Trinidad & Tobago before New Zealand take on Barbados.

Helen Falkus, Sky Sports director for netball, said: “The World Cup will showcase the best that netball has to offer and it's very exciting that the biggest stars of the game will be live on Sky Sports this summer. 

"The tournament is a chance for the Home Nations to pit themselves against the world’s best, and England will be hoping to finally beat Australia and New Zealand on the biggest stage.” 

There will be three more clashes on Sky Sports on day two as Tracey Neville’s England take on Jamaica, Australia face Barbados and Malawi meet Sri Lanka.

Australia and New Zealand get day three underway on Sky Sports 3 HD before England face Samoa and Malawi clash with Singapore.
