The Tongans will meet USC Thunder on 18 October and then the Australian Pathway Team on 19 October, before meeting the Samoans on 20 October.

The final will be held on 21 October.

At the start the series, Tala's Head Coach, Jaqua Pori-Makea-Simpson said, the October Series is another chance to debut players and try various combinations ahead of the 2023 World Cup.

"It is the perfect event for us to assess some of our processes, gather more player data and understand areas for improvement in preparation for next year. This is an opportunity for us to be tested against an unknown opposition with a different style of play and ability."

Meanwhile, the games are live-streamed through Netball Australia and in Tonga.
