England have set up fixtures with France and the USA ahead of the Women's World Cup in Canada in 2015.
Manager Mark Sampson's side will face the US, who are ranked by FIFA as the world's number one side, on Friday, February 13.
They will then play France, fourth in the FIFA rankings and the second strongest team in Europe, on Thursday, April 9.
Sampson said: "It's great news we can confirm the two matches against USA and France. For the team to improve we need to create as many opportunities as possible to test ourselves against the top-tier nations.
"In USA and France we are without doubt facing some of the best teams in the world, and teams who will have genuine ambitions of winning the World Cup."
