This is only the third time the Dutch venue is hosting a DTM round, having made its debut on the calendar only in 2019.
Much of the attention will be on the title battle as the championship nears conclusion, with the final three spread over just four weekends.
Audi star Kelvin van der Linde continues to lead the championship heading to Assen, but his points lead received a severe hit when Red Bull protege Liam Lawson took a double win in Austria last time out.
The gap between the two drivers currently stands at just 12 points, with Mercedes driver Maximilian Gotz another four points back and very much in the title fight.
