The grand final will then take place at Nissan Arena in Brisbane on Sunday 18 October at 1pm AEDT.
Suncorp Super Netball CEO Chris Symington said plenty of time went into the planning of the finals series to ensure teams have the appropriate time to recover and prepare.
"It's exciting to confirm that Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast will play host to the 2020 Suncorp Super Netball Finals Series – all teams have played matches at both Nissan Arena and USC Stadium throughout the season so there will be a level of familiarity there," he said.
"We have taken guidance from our clubs in spacing the finals matches over three weeks after the condensed home and away season to ensure all teams involved in finals have adequate time to recover and prepare.
"We would like to again thank the Queensland Government for its immense support of this season, and also the Brisbane City Council for supporting the 2020 Grand Final."
