England will play the top-ranked Test side in the world, India, as part of their fixture list for the 2018 summer season.
Edgbaston, Lord's, Trent Bridge, The Ageas Bowl and The Oval will all host Test matches against an Indian side which lost 3-1 in their last Test series here in 2014, but defeated England 4-0 in last winter's Test series on the sub-continent.
Next year's tour begins in July and also includes a three-match one-day international series and a three-match T20 series.
Pakistan will be the first touring side to play England next summer, arriving for a two-Test series before a one-day international against Scotland in Edinburgh.
That match serves as a precursor to a five-game ODI series against Australia, with matches taking place at Cardiff, Trent Bridge, the Riverside and Old Trafford. Edgbaston will also host a T20 international against Australia.
ECB Chief Executive Officer Tom Harrison said: "A five-Test series against India is at the heart of next summer's international programme. This is always a much-anticipated contest which attracts a huge following across the globe for the five-day game.
"Test Match cricket has a strong, consistent and passionate following across England and Wales and the seven summer Tests, starting with the Pakistan matches, are sure to attract good crowds.
"Alongside these, England's white-ball contests against India, Australia and Scotland will give a fascinating guide to form ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup, to be staged here in 2019.
"We are pleased to have a very loyal following for all three formats of the game and we expect to attract great crowds across the summer. The universal on-sale date was a great success for the venues and fans last year and we will repeat that again this year.
"What also stays the same is that we would urge fans to apply early and plan for a big summer of cricket. "
