Fox Sports is poised to gain the broadcast rights to the final phase of World Cup qualifiers featuring the Socceroos national team.

The pay-television operator is set to strike a deal for the qualifiers, which begin for the Socceroos on September 1, with rights holder Lagardere Sports (formerly World Sports Group) that will also include the 2019 Asian Cup.

Fox already holds rights to the A-League and has previously bought Socceroos games via Football Federation Australia, but Lagardere held back the final phase of Asian qualifiers to sell directly to the market.

With less than two weeks until the first Socceroos match in Perth against Iraq, Fox will attempt to sell simulcasting rights to a free-to-air television network. A deal may not be struck until later in the qualifying phase, during which the Socceroos will play 10 games.

Fox also holds first and last rights for the next A-League rights deal.
