The Swiss are scheduled to visit on September 11, with a venue for that game still to be decided, before the USA travel to Wembley Stadium on November 15.

The US 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 September 8.
The Three Lions will then travel to Croatia on Oct. 12 before a return trip to Spain on October 15.
Following their meeting with the U.S., the 2018 calendar will conclude with Croatia at Wembley on November 18.
