The attacks included three suicide bombers detonating devices outside the Stade de France as France played Germany.
A spokesperson for the prime minister confirmed to BuzzFeed News that Cameron will sing the French national anthem, which, in a break from tradition, will be played after the English anthem at tonight's match.
"The decision was taken [to attend the match] and he's looking forward to it," said the spokesperson.
Prince William will also be at Wembley for the match, fulfilling his role as president of the Football Association.
