A new era of speed and sustainability
As Formula E and the FIA prepare to unleash the GEN4 car, its massive boost in power and velocity requires tracks built for extreme performance. This has driven a natural shift toward established permanent circuits, though the series remains firmly committed to its city-centre roots. The new locations strike a perfect balance - offering tracks that can handle GEN4’s raw speed while remaining accessible from major city hubs.
Sustainability has been central to the development of the calendar, with race events grouped by continent across the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific, reducing freight mileage and CO2 emissions.
Record-breaking 21-race calendar
The all-electric single-seater racing series’ biggest ever season begins in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia with a nighttime double-header at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, on 18 & 19 December 2026. The Championship then heads to the Americas, with the Mexico City E-Prix at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez on 16 January 2027, followed by the brand new Austin E-Prix at COTA on 06 February 2027 and the Miami E-Prix at the Miami International Autodrome (Hard Rock Stadium) on 20 February 2027.
