Beckham will equal Bobby Moore’s record of 108 caps for an outfield player should he feature against La Furia Roja.
West Ham striker Carlton Cole also has a place in the squad for the first time following an impressive run of form in the Premier League, which has seen him score five goals in his last six matches.
England boss Fabio Capello has also included another debutant James Milner as one of six Aston Villa players in the 23-man party.
Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney has not been selected because the striker has been sidelined for three weeks with a hamstring injury.
