If you have another computer or device signed in to your Apple ID you could get a verification code on that, to allow you to add your new iPhone and its number to your Apple ID account, while deleting the old phone number.

Eg: How to: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support


Else:

Apple has a recovery process that may takes a bit longer, and requires proof of identity.

You can see more details at the very bottom of the above article.
