Adelaide will play its first ever game for AFL premiership points in Darwin next season.
The Crows will clash with Melbourne at TIO Stadium under lights on Saturday July 15, in round 17 of the 2017 Toyota AFL Premiership Season.
Adelaide has previously only played pre-season matches in the Northern Territory - including a game against the Indigenous All Stars in 2009.
Crows CEO Andrew Fagan said the Club welcomed news it was playing in Darwin.
"We already have strong ties to the Northern Territory through our women's football partnership and are thrilled to have an opportunity to strengthen our involvement and importantly promote the game of football as well,” he said.
“We have a genuine and meaningful presence in the central corridor which will only grow stronger in the years ahead."
Adelaide opens the 2017 season at Adelaide Oval on Sunday March 26, against GWS Giants.
The full home and away fixture for 2017 will be released by the AFL on Thursday.

Playing Melbourne in Darwin? Given it would be a Melb home game, sounds good.

Given they finished 13th, you'd expect them to have a pretty soft draw. Ditto Carlton and Essendon.
The Tigers will still be s**t, though.

Dees in Darwin? Interesting, makes it a neutral ground at least

Why would they do that? I don't think us and Port got the same treatment when we left footy park.

Happy to play in Darwin. Also confirms that the leaked fixture is a load of s**t.
Hopefully most of it still is, too many afternoon home games for my liking.
Disappointed about Darwin. We need as many games at the MCG as possible.
As long as they finish above Port which makes giving up their first more costlyGiven they finished 13th, you'd expect them to have a pretty soft draw. Ditto Carlton and Essendon.

Fat lot of good it will do them. They'll likely still miss finals.

I'm really disappointed we are playing in Darwin. That will be one less game for Melbourne based Crow supporters. I also agree we need every game we can get at the MCG. If we get the Bulldogs in Ballarat as well I'll be even unhappier.
Waiting to see if we get a Sydney game next year.

Hopefully not since I don't see us winning either of them, 2 games in your sister state of QLD would be much better.
