The all-electric championship has officially announced its 2026/27 calendar, with new stops and even more race days. With the GEN4 Era fast approaching, next season confirms the largest schedule the series has had since its debut.
The New Stops
Alongside a new season, three new iconic locations were added to the calendar. Returning to America, the championship will make its debut at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA). Located in Austin, Texas, it first opened in 2012 and has since hosted Formula 1 races. With long straights and apex-corners, the GEN4 cars will showcase it’s strengths of raw pace and regenerative braking.
A first for the championship in the Netherlands, the Season 13 calendar stops in Zandvoort for a double header. Marked as a physically demanding circuit, Zandvoort has been one of the most iconic locations for racing in Europe. Scheduled to leave the Formula 1 calendar after 2026, Formula E will make its Dutch debut.
Moving away from the staple season closer at the ExCeL in London, Brands Hatch will host the London E-Prix. Formula E switches from a street circuit to a permanent track. It brings back competitive single-seaters at a higher-level championship to Brands Hatch, which has previously hosted Grand Prix.
From the Start to the Finish Line
The GEN4 era is set to begin in December, a few weeks after pre-season testing concludes. The racing calendar is as follows:
A New Setup
The new season introduces a new race format for double headers. Race day one will feature the E-PrixUnleashed, an all-new shorter race. The shorter race is designed to highlight the raw speed of the GEN4 car. Race day two will continue with the E-Prix, including the infamous Attack Mode and PitBoost. The duality of the all-electic race crafts will be highlighted during these doubleheaders, with the new format testing strategy alongside speed.
With a new race format, a new car and new stops on the calendar, the 2026/27 season is set to be one of the most ambitious campaigns since Formula E’s debut in 2014.
