The fixture will be the first international to be held at Wembley since the coronavirus outbreak.
England take on Nations League rivals Iceland and Denmark in September but both games are away from home.
Ryan Giggs’ Wales will make the short journey to face Ireland three days after the Wembley friendly, while England host Belgium on the same day.
