Pakistan will play their first day-night Test against the West Indies in the United Arab Emirates in October.
The teams will play three Tests, three one-day internationals and three Twenty20 internationals between September 23 and November 3.
Australia hosted the first-ever day-night Test at Adelaide against New Zealand in November last year, and it drew huge numbers of fans who were able to attend the game after work.
Australia will also host two day-night Tests against South Africa and then Pakistan during their home season, starting in November.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement it "will host its first ever day-night Test match from October 13-17 to be played with the pink ball under lights at the Dubai cricket stadium".
Despite playing all their matches in the neutral venues of the UAE, Pakistan rose to No 1 in the Test rankings earlier this week after drawing their four-match series against England 2-2.
