Head coach Jon Callard said, "To have the opportunity to play the first ever game of rugby at Brighton's American Express Community Stadium is great for the game and we hope the community really get behind the match, especially in the lead up to this being used as a match venue at Rugby World Cup 2015."
The England under-20s kick off their home 2015 Six Nations campaign at Plymouth Albion RFC against Italy on 13th February, then face Scotland at Darlington's Mowden Park on 13th March.
Callard added, "We're looking forward to getting the season underway. While we have retained a strong core of last season’s squad, there is some really exciting talent coming through.
"The work that the regional academies do with the players is excellent and that partnership is helping us perform well at the highest level. The Six Nations is a real opportunity for us to showcase some exciting talent up and down the country.
"We played in Northampton and Newcastle last season, and we are at three new venues this season – it's great to be able to take the under-20s on the road and tap into these new audiences."
