2026 Formula E Calendar

The 2026 Formula E schedule, or ‘Season 12’ in FE parlance, has been added to the calendars.

Here is a brief look at the changes since last year.

The season started at the end of last year, which is something FE used to do. This was the same date as the Formula 1 season finale which happened to come down to a title decider. It’s not the smartest move. I don’t remember anybody talking about anything other than F1, it was obviously going to take up all the airtime.

This weekend it is the turn of Mexico City on the short version of the layout but with the full Peraltada, the cars having more power than grip means the back end steps out around there, which is very cool.

The Miami round has been moved from Homestead-Miami Speedway to the F1 circuit, the Miami Autodrome. I think this is a good change. I’ve not seen the Homestead round yet but I’m told it wasn’t a good look, even if the racing itself was perfectly fine. Miami Autodrome feels like a better fit.

We have another road course round in March, with the Circuito del Jarama near Madrid joining. Test days have been held there already for Gen3. I’ve only ever seen one race there but the only thing I’ve heard about Jarama is it’s impossible to overtake there. Perhaps a slipstreaming, peloton-style Formula E race will be different.

With the Gen4 car looking to be another step up in pace, I feel like it is inevitable we’ll see a swing towards road courses and F1-grade “street” tracks like Miami.

A return to Sanya in China is also on the cards, followed by two races at Shanghai International. Sanya was used once before, in 2019, and I wonder if we’ll see the same layout this time? It was a very dramatic race ! A lot of contact. Some of these tight turns may need some work.

There has been some reshuffling among the other races.

Shanghai and Tokyo move from May to July. Berlin goes the other way.

London moves later, to mid-August, which is a really good date as season finale. Being in the middle of the F1 summer break it has a better chance of some traction. It is also in the middle of the school holidays in Britain and hopefully this will attract families to the races! This weekend makes a lot of sense to me.

Jakarta is the only round we lose from last year, so we have a net gain of one race for a total of 17.
