Justin Welby is likely to lead the service at Leicester Cathedral in March although only his attendance has been confirmed.
The Bishop of Leicester, the Right Reverend Tim Stevens, said the Archbishop will also be joined by the Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Vincent Nichols, and representatives of other faiths.
Two years ago King Richard's remains were discovered in a car park and he remains the only English monarch without a marked grave.
The ceremony will be broadcast on TV and organisers say whilst it's not a state funeral, it will be very close.
Bishop Tim said "I am delighted that the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster will be in Leicester for our celebrations surrounding the reinterment of Richard III.
"The presence of the Cardinal marks the historical continuity between the Catholic faith in this country and the Church of England.
"The presence of both Archbishops is a sign of the close partnership between our two Churches in burying King Richard with dignity and honour.
"Our cathedral has been consistently committed to providing a fitting, dignified and memorable ceremony for the reinterment of King Richard. We can now see how this works out in detail and our city and county look forward to all the events of next spring."
