“It features incredible athletes, who are strong and fierce competitors.
“Today’s announcement will ensure that fans around the country will be able to watch these athletes live in action.
“This isn’t just another broadcast deal – it’s a partnership. We are invested in making a difference and putting women’s basketball in Australia back on the map.”
The WNBL will work with Fox Sports ahead of the 2017-18 season to finalise the broadcast schedule.
