| It is widely expected that Mr Obama will nominate Senator Hillary Clinton for the post of Secretary of State.
Mrs Clinton lost out to Mr Obama when the two contested a bitterly fought race for the Democratic Party presidential nomination.
She is expected to join Mr Obama at a Chicago news conference where the National Security team will be named.
A BBC Washington correspondent says the current Defence Secretary, Robert Gates, looks set to remain in his job.
Selecting Mr Gates - who was appointed by President George W Bush two years ago - would allow Mr Obama to honour a promise to name at least one Republican cabinet member.
Retired general James Jones is likely to be selected as National Security Adviser.
Other expected appointments include Eric Holder as Attorney-General, Susan Rice as Ambassador to the United Nations and Governor Janet Napolitano of Arizona as Secretary of Homeland Security.
