The third season of the Top End T20 Series – an Australian domestic competition organized by Northern Territory Cricket – will begin on August 9 (Friday) in Darwin. The tournament, which was a six-team affair in 2023, has now grown to be an event of nine teams who will compete across 30 matches spanning over a period of 10 days. 

Bangladesh A and Pakistan Shaheens are the two overseas sides participating in the tournament. They will compete alongside Adelaide Strikers Academy, Australian Capital Territory, Melbourne Renegades Academy, Melbourne Stars Academy, Northern Territory Strike, Perth Scorchers Academy, and Tasmania.

Each team will play six matches each in the league stage and the top four teams will qualify for the semi-finals, with the Top End T20 Series 2024 final slated to be played on August 18 (Sunday).
