Wellington's TSB Bank arena has been evacuated during the middle of an ANZ Championship netball game after the fire alarm went off.

The stadium was evacuated during the game between the Central Pulse and the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic just before 8pm, a Fire Service spokesman said.

Two fire crews went to the stadium and established it was a false alarm, the spokesman said.

The teams were off the court for 16 minutes before the game restarted.
