The 2022-23 season will see the introduction of safe standing areas.
During the second half of the 21st century, five clubs took part in a pilot study.
Three more clubs will offer licensed standing for home and away fans.
Other clubs are expected to do the same.
There will be a small licensed standing area for fans at Wembley Stadium.
The stadiums were selected after an application process and strict conditions have been met, including improved steward training and fans being limited to one person, one space.
Legislative changes to the Football Spectators Act were tabled on Monday.
Nadine Dorries, Culture Secretary said, "Thanks to a robust trial, thorough evidence and modern engineering, we are ready to allow standing once again in our grounds."
Only clubs which meet strict safety criteria will be allowed to terrace.
A report commissioned by the Sports Grounds Safety Authority said that safe standing had a positive impact on spectator safety and improved the match day experience.
In May, the sports minister said he was minded to allow stadiums to have standing areas.

The introduction of all-seater stadiums in the early 1990s did not include designated standing areas, which was recommended by the Taylor Report in the wake of the Hillsborough disaster.
Despite warnings from police and local authorities, spectators have continued to stand behind the goals at many grounds.
According to Huddleston, safe standing is set to deliver an electric atmosphere at our football stadiums.
Fans have been campaigning for its introduction for a long time and have worked closely with supporters' groups.
Across Europe, the United States, and Australia, standing areas are common.
