England will face Italy in the 2022 Nations League - in a rematch of their Euro 2020 final.
Germany and Hungary are also in Group A3 for the Three Lions’ campaign, with the winner through to the final round and fourth-placed side relegated to the second-tier.
Italy came out on top in a penalty shootout at Wembley to lift the Euros trophy in the summer.
Earlier in the competition, Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane put Gareth Southgate’s side in the final four with a 2-0 victory over Germany, their first competitive win over Die Mannschaft since the 1966 World Cup.
The Three Lions’ last trip to Hungary was marred by racist abuse aimed at visiting players in Budapest, while Hungarian fans fought stewards and police during a 1-1 draw at Wembley in World Cup qualification.
