The Socceroos will look to gain an early insight into their 2026 World Cup campaign when they head to the United States to face Mexico.
Graham Arnold's men will face world No.14 Mexico for the first time in 22 years when they meet at Dallas' 80,000-seater AT&T Stadium in a September 9 friendly.
The venue is set to be one of the host stadiums for the 2026 World Cup which will be an expanded 48-team tournament and is co-hosted with Canada and Mexico.
The window had initially been earmarked for a home friendly but the chance to play a Mexican side in front of a partisan crowd was seen as a valuable opportunity to prepare for the rigours of 2026.
"The players are really looking forward to the opportunity to test themselves against Mexico, but also get acquainted with the environment in the United States as we begin to build towards 2026," Arnold said.
"The experience for the players and the knowledge we'll obtain from a technical perspective, puts us in an excellent position so early for the next World Cup cycle.
"It says a lot about the way our performance in Qatar has changed perceptions of Australian football globally, as we continue to be sought out to play games against highly regarded opposition."
The Socceroos have spoken of the benefit of being familiar with Qatar during qualification for last year's World Cup, where they won two games and reached the round of 16.
Australia will return home in November for World Cup qualifiers with the draw for the second round of qualification set to be made on July 27.
Prior to that, Arnold's side will face England at Wembley Stadium and will play New Zealand in a yet-to-be-determined venue in the October window.
