Organisers announced the swap shortly after the first Formula 3 race of the weekend at Zandvoort.
They say the change is due to "logistical changes that heavily impacted the overall costs of the planned Austin event".
Formula 3 joins Formula 2 on the schedule for Sochi, with three races to be held for both series.
It will be the only event on the 2021 calendar to include Formula 1 and both F2 and F3, and tickets are already sold out.
“I want to thank F1 and the FIA, our teams and everyone involved, including the Sochi promoters, for agreeing on such short notice to this change," said Formula 3 CEO Bruno michel.
"We are pleased to bring our two categories to Russia again, but I am also sorry for not taking F3 to Austin this year, and I’m looking forward to racing there in the future.”
