Satellite broadcaster Sky will continue to show live domestic and international matches while five will show a highlights package on terrestrial TV.
The new contracts are worth a combined £300m and run from 2010 until 2013.
"We held extensive talks with all broadcasters and were determined to be as flexible as possible," said ECB chairman Giles Clarke.
"The ECB recognise and are grateful for Sky Sports' loyalty to the sport - both at home and when the England team tour overseas," he added.
The BBC will continue to offer live coverage of England matches on Test Match Special on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, at certain times on Radio Four long wave and on the BBC Sport website.
