Northern Ireland will meet Scotland in a friendly at Hampden Park in Glasgow on Wednesday, August 20.
It will be the final warm-up game for both sides before they start their 2010 World Cup qualifying campaigns.
The fixture was originally pencilled in for May but it is believed Northern Ireland manager Nigel Worthington wanted the later date.
Worthington has also confirmed that NI will have no friendly in May unless "major" opposition can be secured.
Scotland and Northern Ireland last met in 1992 with the Scots enjoying a 1-0 victory in a Hampden Park friendly.
"It's an ideal time for a friendly because the players will be fresh after their pre-season," added Worthington.
"It will be a friendly with an edge as it's a British Championship type game."
