Formula E has swapped its season-ending races in North America and will now conclude its 2016/17 campaign in Montreal.

The electric single-seater series was due to finish its third season in New York with a double-header on July 29-30.

Instead, that event - the Brooklyn circuit for which was revealed earlier this month - will swap with Montreal's original date on July 15-16.

Autosport understands the change came at the request of the organisers in the US.

It means the New York race, described as a "dream" by series CEO Alejandro Agag, will now clash with the World Endurance Championship's Nurburgring round - which has been confirmed on July 16.

The likes of 2015/16 FE champion Sebastien Buemi and runner-up Lucas di Grassi compete in both categories.

FE's final 2016/17 calendar also omits the two 'TBA' rounds announced in July.

It means the series will remain at 10 events for a third consecutive season.
