The event, known as the world's fastest motorcycle road race, is expected to be staged from August 16-20 at the Dundrod circuit.
The announcement was made today (Wednesday) in a statement from the Revival Racing Motorcycle Club today.
"We understand the unique appeal of the UGP to riders and fans alike, and we are delighted to bring racing back to this famous track," the statement read.
"It’s been a very uncertain time for the sport because of Coronavirus and we can’t wait to hear bikes roaring down the Flying Kilo again this summer.
"We are indebted to the volunteers at the Ulster Grand Prix for their collaboration and continuing hard work to stage this famous race in its centenary year.
"More details of the week long race programme will be announced soon. "
It follows yesterday's announcement that the North West 200 would return in May.
