At least 18 people were killed in the French capital in a series of gun attacks -- although some reports put the death toll at up to 60 people -- whilst explosions were heard outside the Stade de France where France defeated Germany 2-0 in a friendly.
Tuesday's match is due to be played at Wembley in London.
"It's a very serious, tragic matter. Regards the matter on Tuesday, if there is any update we will announce in due course," said an FA spokesman.
"The FA obviously sends its deep condolences to the victims of this tragic event and we will liaise with the French Federation this weekend at the appropriate time."
