Flags around Old Trafford will fly at half-mast during the ceremony.
Law won two league titles with Manchester United and was a member of their European Cup-winning side under Sir Matt Busby in 1968 when they became the first English club to lift the trophy.
Law is the only Scottish player to have won a Ballon d’Or, which he was awarded in 1964.
