AFL grounds in Darwin

Grounds and counts from the full 2027 city fixture, before filters. A fixture listing does not confirm ticket availability, gate opening times or transport inclusions.

TIO Stadium is the Darwin ground

TIO Stadium is in Marrara and is also associated with the name Marrara Stadium. It is different from TIO Traeger Park in Alice Springs. Check the complete venue name when choosing a ticket or planning transport rather than relying only on the TIO prefix.

The Suns’ Top End fixture

The current draw brings Gold Coast and Carlton to Darwin. A Suns home designation does not make this a Gold Coast event. Older seasons included different Top End programmes, so use the current city list for the number of matches instead of assuming a repeat of previous back-to-back weekends.

Darwin first bounce and arrival

Darwin uses ACST without daylight saving, including a half-hour offset from the east coast in the winter season. The primary time here is the Darwin start. Check the official event information for entrances, transport and ticket requirements; the listing does not establish shuttle times or gate opening.

Watching AFL in Darwin: your questions

Is the Darwin AFL game at TIO Traeger Park?

No. Darwin uses TIO Stadium in Marrara. TIO Traeger Park is in Alice Springs.

Why does Gold Coast appear as a home team in Darwin?

The Suns host a match at TIO Stadium. The home designation and the actual city are separate fixture details.

Can I assume there are two Suns games in Darwin again?

Use the current published fixture. Past seasons’ back-to-back visits do not confirm the number or dates of games in 2027.

Are Darwin times the same as Melbourne times?

Not throughout the year. Darwin stays on ACST; use the labelled local start and optional second clock rather than assuming a constant eastern offset.
