The Amex will stage international rugby for the first time next spring.
Reigning under-20 world champions England face France in a Six Nations match at Albion's home on Saturday March 20.
It is the prelude to the Amex hosting two matches in the 2015 Rugby World Cup, South Africa v Japan and Samoa v USA.
England under-20s 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.
"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."
