How to tune into Sport NationLive Sport Bible: Blackcaps, Constellation Cup, and NZ's Greatest Day on the Punt
Sport Nation • October 17th, 2025 11:48 am
It's a massive weekend of sport on Sport Nation!
It begins with the Silver Ferns looking to put aside all the noise surrounding Netball NZ and Dame Noeline Taurua to defend the Constellation Cup against the Australian Diamonds, winning last year's four-match series 3-1.
SEN will be providing the commentary for the first two Tests across the ditch, before Sport Nation's Mark Stafford and Brooke Leaver pick up the microphones for the remaining matches in New Zealand.
Saturday has been dubbed the 'Greatest Day on the Punt' with the Livamol Classic, Caulfield Cup and the richest race on turf, The Everest, all running on Trackside's Big Saturday.
Trackside's Out The Gate will also be live streaming from Full Time Sports Bar & Eatery in Auckland's Kingsland from 2.30pm on Saturday as racing coverage of the big day ramps up with Guy Heveldt, Mitch James, and Andy McCook - watch live on Trackside.co.nz.
New Zealand's home summer of cricket resumes with England in Christchurch to take on the Blackcaps in two T20s at Hagley Oval on Saturday and Monday night. Join Sport Nation's award-winning commentary team for live ball-by-ball coverage as the Blackcaps continue their preparations for next year's T20 World Cup.
And let's not forget, four matches across the Premier League thanks to our mates at talkSPORT.
