• Formula E and the FIA announced the series’ biggest-ever calendar to date, featuring 18 races across 12 iconic destinations, including new races at Circuito de Madrid Jarama-RACE and Miami International Autodrome (Hard Rock Stadium).

LONDON, UK. MONDAY, 16 JUNE  2025 – Following Season 11’s hugely successful debut in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the Jeddah E-Prix will return with yet another set of races in Season 12 as Formula E and the FIA announced the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship‘s first provisional calendar for the 2025-26 season. Following validation from the FIA’s World Motorsport Council Meeting, the championship will have its most expansive season yet with 18 races across 12 global cities, including new races in Madrid and Miami’s International Autodrome for the first time, and a nighttime double-header under the lights in Jeddah.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Red Sea coastline, the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, known for its high-speed corners and dramatic setting, promises fresh challenges and unforgettable racing on February 13-14, 2025, following an incredible debut at the circuit earlier this year. 

After six successful seasons in Diriyah, Formula E moved the E-Prix to Jeddah for the 2024-25 season. The successful double-header event also marked the debut of the innovative ‘PIT BOOST’ mandatory pit stops that delivered a strategic energy boost, adding a new layer of excitement to the all-electric competition.

The series’ record-breaking 12th season begins on 6 December 2025 on the vibrant streets of São Paulo, before the championship returns to Mexico City in January. Formula E then makes its first race appearance at the Miami International Autodrome on 31 January – taking high-speed electric street racing closer to the heart of one of America’s most passionate sports hubs on the East Coast of the USA. Securing a race at the venue for the first time follows the successful delivery of its EVO Sessions event in March 2025.

February sees the nighttime double-header under the lights in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, while Madrid debuts on the calendar in March at the historic Circuito de Madrid Jarama-RACE – the first time Formula E has raced in the Spanish capital – and the first World Championship motorsport event held in the city in 37 years, since 1989. 

Returning venues include Berlin, Tokyo, and Shanghai, each hosting double-header race weekends, while Monaco continues its role as the jewel in the crown of motorsport, hosting back-to-back races on the iconic street circuit, only the second time it has hosted World Championship races on consecutive days after it debuted earlier in May this year. 

The season concludes once more in London, with a climactic double-header at the Excel on 15-16 August 2026 that will round out the end of the GEN3 Evo era. 

Two further locations to complete the calendar are awaiting public confirmation, as final-stage negotiations are ongoing with local authorities ahead of forthcoming World Motor Sport Council Meetings later in the year, when the final calendar will be revealed and ratified. 

Sustainability has been central to the planning and delivery of the calendar with dedicated clusters of events grouped by continent across the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific to reduce freight transport and CO2 emissions, and maximize efficiencies across regions. 

Nacho Calcedo, Host Cities Event Director, Formula E, said:

“We’re pleased to be returning to Jeddah after a highly successful first year.  Set against the breathtaking Red Sea coastline, the Jeddah Corniche Circuit is not only the world’s fastest street circuit but also a symbol of the Kingdom’s growing influence in global sports. With strong support from multiple partners, Formula E is proud to be part of the country’s dynamic sporting landscape—one that continues to open doors for international events and inspires the future of electric racing.”
