The draw comes ahead of the start of Euro 2021 in Hungary and Slovenia in March.
Aidy Boothroyd’s side will play Switzerland, Portugal and Croatia in Group D, opening their campaign against the Swiss on March 25 in Koper, Slovenia.
The tournament has been split in two because of the coronavirus pandemic, with the group stage held in March and the knock-out phase in May and June.
