Stuart Pearce, the U21 coach, said the game will be a good test for his side ahead of the summer's European Championship.
"We rarely get a chance to play teams from outside Europe at U21 level," he said.
"Ecuador have qualified for the last two World Cups, so this will be a really good test for the players.
"We have four more games before the start of the Championship in June and each one will be crucial in preparing us to go to Sweden."
The game will be shown live in the United Kingdom on Setanta Sports.
