The friendly will take place on October 7th, subject to the Lionesses securing qualification to the 2023 World Cup in September. Holders USA have already qualified for the World Cup.

It will be the U.S. team's first visit to Wembley since the gold medal match at the 2012 Olympic Games, where they beat Japan 2-1.

"This is exactly the kind of match we need at exactly the right time in our World Cup preparations so we can test ourselves against a very talented England team," said U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski (45).

The USA will play another match in Europe following the England game with an opponent and venue to be confirmed soon, their governing body said.
