Organizers of the all-electric race series announced Friday that "unforeseen circumstances" had forced the cancellation of the Moscow ePrix scheduled to take place on Saturday June 4.
Last year's inaugural race won by Nelson Piquet Jr. saw drivers competing over a 1.5-mile (2.4-kilometer) street circuit that ran alongside Moscow landmarks Red Square and the Kremlin.
Efforts were made to find an alternative venue but proved unsuccessful, Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag said.
"We explored all possibilities including returning to Monaco, but regrettably couldn't organize the change of venue on such short notice," Agag said in a statement.
"We will now focus on the three remaining races in Berlin and the doubleheader in London, which I'm sure will deliver a thrilling conclusion in the battle for the championship."
Abt Schaeffler driver Lucas di Grassi has an 11-point lead over Renault e.Dams rival Sebastien Buemi with now just three races to go.
Cancellation of round nine of the 2015-16 world championship comes two weeks after the hugely successful first running of the Paris ePrix which saw a sell-out 20,000 crowd watch drivers race around the streets surrounding Les Invalides in the French capital's seventh arrondissment.
"The track is amazing, it's now one of my favorites," reigning Formula E champion Piquet Jr. told CNN. "The atmosphere, the people, the celebrities, it's the race to come to. It's got to easily be in the top-three venues, maybe the best one."
Fans who lined the streets to watch race were impressed with the new racing series now enjoying its second season.
"I think Formula E is very interesting," Lisa Barthelemy told CNN. "It's the first time in Paris. I hope there will be other editions. It's very future orientated."
Round eight of the shortened 10-race world championship takes place in Berlin on May 21 with the final two rounds taking place in London's Battersea Park in the first weekend of July.
