The fifth Test will be played at the Kennington Oval in London from July 27.
Due to rain, no play was possible on the final day of the fourth Test between Australia and England at Old Trafford on Sunday, resulting in Australia retaining the Ashes.
England, who were in a favourable position with Australia at 214-5 and trailing by 61 runs, had high hopes of winning the fourth Test and claiming the urn back. However, their aspirations were dashed due to the weather conditions.
