The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has officially announced its most expansive calendar to date for the 2026–2027 season, featuring a record-breaking 21 races across 13 global cities. This milestone season will also mark the debut of the next-generation GEN4 race car, a high-performance, sustainability-focused machine delivering 600 kW of power (over 815 hp) and constructed entirely from 100% recyclable or reusable materials.
The upcoming season introduces a new competitive format designed to elevate race weekends, featuring a dual-race structure that combines the traditional E-Prix with a shorter, more intense sprint-style event titled the “E-Prix Unleashed.” This addition is expected to amplify on-track action and enhance fan engagement across race weekends.
In response to the GEN4 car’s increased performance capabilities, the championship will expand its presence on permanent, world-class circuits while continuing to preserve its signature street-racing identity. New venues for the season include the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, United States, and the MASCOT Zandvoort Circuit in the Netherlands. Additionally, the London E-Prix will relocate from its previous ExCeL Circuit setting to the historic Brands Hatch circuit.
The 2026–2027 season will commence with a double-header opener in Saudi Arabia, featuring two night races at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit on December 18 and 19, 2026. From there, the championship will embark on a global tour spanning the Americas, Europe, and Asia, with the calendar strategically optimized by region to reduce logistical complexity and lower shipping-related emissions.
The season will conclude in July 2027 with back-to-back double-header finales in Shanghai and Tokyo, bringing the record-setting championship to a close after a landmark year of innovation, performance, and sustainability in electric motorsport.
