Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, the Dean of the College of Cardinals, will preside over the funeral, it said.
Earlier on Tuesday the Vatican released a photo of Francis in an open coffin in the chapel of Santa Marta, the residence inside the Vatican where he lived.
The late pontiff was dressed in a red robe with a white mitre on his head and a rosary in his hand.
His body will be transferred to St. Peter’s Basilica on Wednesday so that the faithful can pay their respects to him.
After the funeral, Pope Francis’ coffin will be taken to St. Peter’s Basilica and, from there, to the Basilica of St. Mary Major, where he will be laid to rest in accordance with his wishes.
US President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron are among the leaders to have said they will attend the funeral.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will also attend, according to EU executive sources, and King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia will lead the Spanish delegation, the Spanish royal family said.
Felipe VI, Letizia and the king’s mother Sofia on Tuesday signed a book of condolences at the Vatican Nunciature in Madrid.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is coming too, a spokesman said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will be present at the funeral too, AFP reported a Kyiv source as saying.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has no intention of attending, his spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted by Tass as saying.
