W/NBL D1 Preview (14/15 Mar 2026) - Live Stats, streaming, schedule and more

A single game is on offer in both D1W and Pool A of D1M, with D1M's Pool B providing the main talking points across the final days of the regular season.

Solent are confirmed as champs, and Barnet, Barking and London Stars will round out the top four to make the playoffs, but the order of second through fourth is still TBC.

In the list below, a * is for Pool A games, and a + is for Pool B games.

D1M wraps up

Three Pool B games are slotted in for the coming days, with fourth-place London Stars involved in two of them.

The Stars can still move up from their current spot, but that possibility will be off the table if Barking beat London Elite on Thursday night.

BA need to win both of their remaining game, at Elite and away to London Stars, to draw level with Barnet at 15-3. They hold the head-to-head tiebreaker against the Bulldogs, meaning Abbey would nab the #2 spot if the two finish with an equal record.

Depending on how Barking's two games pan out will impact London Stars' Sunday tie with already-confirmed champs Solent.

It could be the Stars need that win to move up to third, but it could also be a dead rubber that simply provides the winner with further momentum heading into the post-season.

Pool A's top four has already been penned in, with St Helens' trip to South Yorkshire to play Sheffield Sharks II now the only game left.

Neither side can move from their current positions, but both sides will no doubt want to finish the campaign with a win.

Down to the last in D1W

Like Pool A of D1M, WNBL Division One has just a single clash this weekend to wrap up the regular season.

Ipswich travel to Loughborough for a rearranged game from earlier this season, though the result can't impact the finishing spot of either side.

No matter the outcome, Loughborough will be travelling to #1 seeds London Cavaliers to start the playoffs, and Ipswich will be hosting Worcester Wolves.

It remains to be seen how either side will approach the game, potentially resting their starters or looking to stay sharp before the post-season.
