Round four runs at Miami International Autodrome from 1-3 May after a five-week break, with championship leader Kimi Antonelli nine points ahead of Mercedes team-mate George Russell.
The weekend includes Saturday's sprint and Sunday's 57-lap race, while first practice is extended to 90 minutes to help teams adapt to rule changes introduced from Miami.
Light rain is possible for Sunday's race in temperatures of 31C-32C, and Miami is the season's second sprint event in a 22-race calendar now expanded by Cadillac's arrival.
