He is charged with murder, grievous bodily harm, possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence and possession of an offensive weapon.
The defendant will appear via video link from top security Belmarsh jail amid a list of terror-related cases to be heard by Mr Justice Saunders.
During the preliminary hearing, the senior judge is expected to manage the case and set a timetable for a plea hearing and provisional trial.
Mair, from Birstall, is in custody. His case is being handled under the "terrorism protocol".
