England last played Switzerland in a qualifier for Euro 2016 in September 2015, when goals from Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney settled a 2-0 win for the hosts.

The U.S. team, who failed to qualify for this year's World Cup in Russia, last travelled to England in May 2008 when they suffered a 2-0 defeat, with goals from John Terry and Steven Gerrard.

Gareth Southgate's England will also feature in the inaugural UEFA Nations League programme, which gets underway with a home match against Spain at Wembley on Sept. 8.

The Three Lions will then travel to Croatia on Oct. 12 before a return trip to Spain on Oct. 15.

Following their meeting with the U.S., the 2018 calendar will conclude with Croatia at Wembley on Nov. 18.
