Doohan will be joined in his debut, by his Trident teammate Clément Novalak.
Doohan had a successful 2021 campaign in F3®, finishing second in the championship behind Prema Racing's Dennis Hauger. He was able to win four times during the season with a further two podiums.
"I am very excited and very happy to be partnering with MP Motorsport for the final two rounds of the Formula 2 Championship," said Doohan. "It is an amazing opportunity. I cannot thank the team enough, as well my family and everyone who has enabled me to do these last two rounds.
"This opportunity will give me a little bit of a foundation and a base before I start my prep for next year. I am super excited. I don't have any real goals as I haven't been in anything higher than a Formula 3 car before. Free Practice will be my first time in something higher than Formula 3, so my expectations are very minimal.
"My goal is to get as much track time as possible and to constantly be learning. I am really excited, it is awesome to be heading to the circuits in Jeddah and Yas Marina, I can't wait."
Doohan will race in Jeddah on the 3-5 December.
Jack Doohan will replace Richard Verschoor for the final two rounds. At Jeddah and Yas Marina, Doohan will team up with fellow F3 graduate Clément Novalak.
