England Women will return to Wembley for their FIFA Women's World Cup qualifier against Northern Ireland on October 23.
It will be the first competitive fixture for the Lionesses at the national stadium since it reopened in 2007, although Wembley has hosted two friendlies against Germany in 2014 and 2019.
England last met Northern Ireland at St George's Park in February for their first international since the coronavirus pandemic, with the home side claiming a dominant 6-0 victory.
