New Zealand won the inaugural World Test Championship when they beat India in the final in 2021The World Test Championship final will be held at The Oval between 7 and 11 June.
The finalists are yet to be decided, with Australia, India, Sri Lanka and South Africa all in with a chance of qualification.
England cannot qualify for the final, which is the culmination of a two-year cycle of Test cricket.
They sit fifth out of nine teams, having risen up the table over the last year.
However, they have no more fixtures remaining in the cycle - their two Test matches against New Zealand this month are not part of the competition.
Australia, who will face England in the Ashes from 16 June, are favourites to reach the final and their forthcoming four-Test series against India will have a bearing on who joins them.
India are currently second in the table, with Sri Lanka third and South Africa fourth.
South Africa have two home Tests against West Indies remaining while Sri Lanka travel to New Zealand for their final two matches in the cycle.
The WTC final will have a reserve day in the event of bad weather disrupting the first five days.
