The Indonesia vs Socceroos match will be able to stream live and exclusive on Paramount+ from 9:30pm AEST on Tuesday, 10 September.
This will be Australia's seventh encounter against Bahrain and the second time this year with Arnold's side having rounded off their Asian Cup preparations against the Pearl Divers.
However, prior to that you would have to go back to the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2011 to catch when these two nations last went head to head.
The Subway Socceroos will then venture to Jakarta for their showdown with Indonesia on Tuesday, 10 September.
Indonesia performed well in the previous round of qualifiers as they finished second in a group that featured Iraq, Vietnam and the Philippines.
The Garuda Warriors have been going from strength to strength in recent times and created history when they made it out of the Asian Cup group stages for the first time earlier this year.
It was the Socceroos who awaited them in the Round of 16 with the Green and Gold running out convincing winners on that occasion with 4-0 the full time score.

AFC Champions League Football Returns
The two best club competitions in Asia are back for the 2024/25 season with a slight twist.

Central Coast Mariners will be Australia's representatives in the ACL Elite competition while Sydney FC will feature in the ACL Two.
The Mariners had a campaign to remember in Asia last time out as they were crowned AFC Cup champions at the end of a whirlwind season that saw them traverse the continent.
Meanwhile, the Sky Blues are back in continental football courtesy of their Australia Cup 2023 triumph.
You will be able to watch all of Sydney's ACL Two matches live and exclusive on 10 Play while you can catch every match from the ACL Elite live and exclusive on Paramount+.
