The 56-year-old Dutchwoman, a five-time Fifa Best winner, has reached five successive major tournament finals, also winning the 2017 Euros with her native Netherlands.
Wiegman said: “I am so happy to be able to carry on with this squad and cannot think of a better job in football.”
England, who were beaten by Spain at the 2023 World Cup final in Australia, will face Ukraine over a two-legged play-off in November and December for a place in next year’s tournament in Brazil.
Wiegman’s new deal will also encompass the 2027 Nations League, which serves as a qualifying tournament for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
It is the second time she has prolonged her stay in England, having first agreed a contract extension in January 2024.
