“Socceroos vs Lebanon: How to Watch World Cup Qualifier 2026 Match and Latest Team News”
Adam Taggart, the Perth Glory striker, acknowledged the familiar surroundings of his hometown club as a catalyst for his Socceroos comeback. The national team is set to engage in their 2026 World Cup qualification journey, with Lebanon awaiting them in two consecutive matches. The series opens at CommBank Stadium on Thursday night, the kickoff scheduled for 8 pm AEDT, before transitioning to Lebanon’s ‘home’ turf in Canberra on March 26.
For those eager to witness the Subway Socceroos confront Lebanon, the match will be broadcast live on 10 Bold, Paramount+, and 10 Play. In terms of lineup updates, Adam Taggart’s reintroduction to the Socceroos after a lengthy hiatus is set to see him feature from the outset against Lebanon. Despite only three of the four A-League talents present in the camp making the matchday squad for the upcoming fixture, the Socceroos side exudes anticipation.
The injured Lewis Miller’s absence paved the way for a late entry by Central Coast Mariners midfielder Josh Nisbet into the squad, although he won’t feature in what could have been his international debut. Alongside the starting Taggart, Bruno Fornaroli of Melbourne Victory and Brandon Borrello of Western Sydney Wanderers are poised to make impactful contributions off the bench.
The forthcoming clash between the Socceroos and Lebanon at CommBank Stadium is scheduled to commence at 8 pm AEDT and will be accessible through 10 Bold, Paramount+, and 10 Play. Amidst the excitement surrounding the matchup, Socceroos head coach Graham Arnold couldn’t resist a light-hearted jibe, commenting on Nisbet’s stature between Harry Souttar and Cam Burgess. However, beyond the jest, Arnold expressed genuine admiration for the Mariners’ standout, lauding him as a remarkable talent and an exceptional individual.
