Thomas Tuchel’s side will take on New Zealand on June 6 before facing Costa Rica on June 10, with the venues to be announced at a later date.
England last played Costa Rica in a friendly win in 2018 while they also faced the Central American side in the 2014 World Cup where they played out a 0-0 draw.
New Zealand, who have also qualified for the World Cup, last faced England in 1991, losing two friendlies in Auckland and Wellington.
