Perth is set to host more elite-level rugby league next year with a number of NRL clubs in discussions to host games in HBF Park.

As the city prepares for its first State of Origin game on Sunday, the Western Australia Rugby League is confident more elite content is on the horizon.

"There's discussions going on now with a number of NRL clubs in relation to playing games in Perth next year," WARL boss John Sackson told AAP.

At least one NRL game has been played in Western Australia each season since 2009, including last year's season-opening double-header at Optus Stadium.

South Sydney's relationship with the state government ended last year, however there remains an enormous appetite for rugby league in the city.

State of Origin II will kick off at 6.10pm at Optus Stadium on Sunday.
