We establish conditions under which the universal and reduced norms coincide for a Fell bundle over a groupoid. Specifically, we prove that the full and reduced $C^{*}$-algebras of any Fell bundle over a measurewise amenable groupoid coincide, and also that for a groupoid $G$ whose orbit space is $T_{0}$, the full and reduced algebras of a Fell bundle over $G$ coincide if the full and reduced algebras of the restriction of the bundle to each isotropy group coincide.
