They said on X: “Join us in celebrating the remarkable life and enduring legacy of Charlie Kirk, an American legend.”
Unveiling the funeral details, they added: “The morning of Sunday, September 21, at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, in Glendale, AZ.”
Trump said earlier on Friday he would be in attendance.
It comes after the US President appeared teary-eyed when he addressed the nation on Wednesday night in an emotional tribute.
He said in the message posted to Truth Social: “To my great fellow Americans, I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah.”
The Don also ordered all American flags to fly at half-staff from Wednesday until Sunday at 6pm.
Kirk, the 31-year-old Trump ally and co-founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot in the neck on Wednesday while addressing students at Utah Valley University.
After an intense manhunt, authorities managed to track down alleged assassin Tyler Robinson on Friday.
On Saturday, gutwrenching photos showed Kirk’s wife, Erika, mourning by the side of her late husband’s coffin.
Devastated, she said: “I love you, I love you, I know, I miss you so much.”
But determined, she continued: “They have no idea what they just ignited within this wife.
“If they thought my husband’s mission was big now… You have no idea.”
Kirk leaves behind Erika but also his three-year-old daughter and one-year-old son.
Erika also said: “The world is evil… The sound of this widow weeping echoes throughout this world like a battle cry.
“I have no idea what any of this means… But baby I know you do and so does our Lord.”

Kirk’s body was flown from Utah back to his home state of Arizona alongside Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha.
Erika, who married Kirk in 2021, vowed to push forward with TPUSA’s work.
She announced on Friday that their campus tour would continue throughout the fall.
“There will be even more tours in the years to come,” she said.
“The movement is not going anywhere, and it will only grow stronger when you join it.”
It comes after The Sun revealed Kirk’s suspected killer Tyler Robinson was spotted kissing his transgender partner just two weeks before the assassination.
The alleged assassin had reportedly been living with his unidentified lover at a property in Utah.
