The Northern Territory could host up to six AFL teams at once to play a series of games against each other in a concept floated to the AFL if the season gets underway without crowds later in 2020.

AFLNT CEO Stuart Totham said the idea had merit, however, he said with so much uncertainty surrounding when games might resume it would only happen if the circumstances made it right for the AFL.

He has consulted government, and the Gold Coast Suns - who now have Darwin as their next generation academy zone - are supporting the push for a raft of games to be played in the Top End with the Suns to be one of the teams involved.

Totham said that "the AFL 'hub' concept would see four to six AFL teams relocate to the NT for a month or so and play their match-ups against one another in a safe and controlled environment while taking advantage of their facilities".
