We study the phenomenology of the light and heavy Higgs boson production and decay in the context of a U(1)B-L extension of the Standard Model with an additional Z' boson at future e+e- linear colliders with center-of-mass energies of √(s)=500-3000\hspace0.8mmGeV and integrated luminosities of \cal L=500-2000\hspace0.8mmfb-1. The study includes the processes e+e-→ (Z, Z') → Zh and e+e-→ (Z, Z') → ZH, considering both the resonant and non-resonant effects. We find that the total number of expected Zh and ZH events can reach 909,124 and 97,487, respectively, which is a very optimistic scenario and thus it would be possible to perform precision measurements for both Higgs bosons h and H, as well as for the Z' boson in future high-energy and high-luminosity e+e- colliders experiments. Our study complements other studies on the B-L model and on the Higgs-strahlung processes e+e-→ (Z, Z') → Zh and e+e-→ (Z, Z') → ZH.
