Today's Australia vs Bahrain live stream sees the hosts look to pick up all three points as they begin the third round of qualifying for the FIFA World Cup 2026 on home soil. Below we have all the information on how to watch Australia vs Bahrain from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, free streams and start times.
Having come through the second round of qualifying by topping the group with a 100% record, Australia are one of the favorites to win Group C. The Socceroos have lost just one of their last 13 games and are confident that they will reach their sixth successive World Cup. Manager Graham Arnold has instilled plenty of confidence in a squad that boasts some serious talent in captain Jackson Irvine, midfielder Connor Metcalfe and winger Awer Mabil.
After an encouraging run to the last 16 of the Asian Cup, Bahrain are unbeaten in their last four games and will be delighted to have reached this stage of World Cup qualifying. Dragan Talajic's side now face a huge challenge after being drawn in a group with Asian powerhouses Australia, Japan and Saudi Arabia. They will start as huge underdogs but are well-drilled and can be extremely hard to break down.
Line ups:
Australia XI: Ryan; Souttar, Circati, Rowles, Behich; O'Neill, Boyle, Metcalfe, Irvine; Goodwin, Yenhgi
Bahrain XI: Lutfulla, Benaddi, Al-Asfoor, Madan, Marhoon; Abduljabbar, Haram, Baqer, Emmanuel; Al-Aswad, Al-Khalasi
