It was held at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg on 8 August 2021.

On 14 May 2021, Dorna announced the cancellation of the Finnish Grand Prix (originally scheduled as the tenth round of the championship on 11 July) for a second consecutive year due to the COVID-19 situation in the country.

On the same day Dorna announced that a second race at the Red Bull Ring, named the Styrian Grand Prix, which was originally scheduled to be a one-off race in 2020, would replace it on the calendar on 8 August, one week before the Austrian Grand Prix.

The race was later restarted over 27 laps with the original starting grid.
