Gareth Southgate’s side will also play a fixture on 27 March at Wembley, with their opponents yet to be announced.
“The Three Lions will travel to Vienna to face Austria on Tuesday 2 June (7.45pm kick-off UK time) at the Ernst Happel Stadion during their pre-tournament training camp,” the FA said.
“Gareth Southgate’s squad will then host the Romanians on Sunday 7 June (kick-off TBC) at a venue in England that is still to be confirmed.”
Austria have been drawn alongside Ukraine, Holland and a play-off winner in Group C for next summer’s European Championship, while Romania are hoping to secure their place via the play-offs in March.
