AFL games are set to restart across Australia as soon as June as the competition negotiates with every state and territory as it puts together the final pieces of the localised hub model which will punctuate the resumption of the 2020 season.

League chief Gillon McLachlan told clubs late on Thursday that the unveiling of the revised 2020 fixture would not take place next Monday as previously suggested but had been postponed to work in line with government and state and federal health authorities.

The Age understands an announcement is more likely to connect with the Victorian government's forthcoming decision regarding coronavirus restrictions in the lead-up to May 11, but that McLachlan will then unveil a return-to-training deadline along with a detailed calendar of matches at two to three centralised national locations.

The AFL will present detailed hub proposals to state governments along with the Northern Territory in the coming days in the hope that venues, accommodation and training facilities can be confirmed over the next two weeks. It now looks unlikely that one concentrated hub in Victoria will take place but the MCG and Marvel Stadium remain strongly in the mix.
