BNP leader Nick Griffin has agreed to ask his party to amend its constitution so it does not discriminate on grounds of race or religion, a court heard.
The UK's equalities watchdog had argued the BNP broke the Race Relations Act by restricting members to "indigenous Caucasian" people.
BNP spokesman Chris Roberts told the BBC: "If we want to be in the electoral process, which we do, and we are being forced by the establishment to change our rules then we are going to have to change them.
"But the fundamental beliefs of our party and our core principles will never change."
BNP members will be asked to agree to the changes at a meeting in November.
