Caterham has confirmed that Will Stevens will partner Kamui Kobayashi at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The Leafield team missed the last two races in the United States and Brazil, but will make its return at the Yas Marina Circuit via a crowdfunding scheme.
Stevens, 23, was previously a member of the Caterham Racing Academy, and has twice tested Formula 1 machinery with the outfit.
The multiple Formula Renault 3.5 race winner signed for Caterham last week, but had to wait for his Super Licence to be processed.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to be getting this opportunity and am very grateful to everyone involved at Caterham for giving it to me,” said Stevens.
“I feel ready for the challenge of my F1 debut and look forward to working as part of the team in a race environment after all the work we’ve done together previously in the tests I’ve completed and back at Leafield in the sim.
“Hopefully this will be something we will be able to carry through to the 2015 season together.”
