Only one last international window separates 32 nations from the 2022 edition of the World Cup, the first to take place in November and December.
Qualified nations will contest two matches between September 19 to 27, before relying solely on club form to help finalise their respective 26-man squads.
The squad limit has risen three spots compared to previous tournaments, in order to help coaches manage the continued presence of COVID-19.
World Cup officials, together with the World Health Organisation and Qatar, have confirmed a collaborative approach to providing a safer environment for travelling fans who will have greater access than ever before.
Qatar's small surface area means its eight venues, spread across five host cities, will be entirely within reach on matchdays - making it easier to attend their favourite fixtures.
SBS and SBS On Demand will broadcast all 64 matches exclusively to Australian audiences, with eight live games shown simultaneously on SBS VICELAND.
The Socceroos will be in at least three of these fixtures, having been drawn against defending champions France, Denmark and Tunisia in Group D.
In line with previous iterations, the host country will contest the opening match at the 2022 World Cup, with Qatar kicking off Group A against Ecuador on November 21.
