season of Gen4, featuring 21 races and two additional current
Formula 1 circuits. It is the largest calendar in Formula E
history, with the E-Prixs taking place across 13 different venues.
Saudi Arabia will kick-start the 2026/27 season and the highly
anticipated Gen4 era at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit on December
18-19, before a short break over the festive period. Once 2027
arrives, the iconic Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City
will get Formula E’s 13th season back underway, before the first of
three new venues on the calendar. Should Jeddah be unsafe to go
ahead, Mexico City will start the season. The Circuit of the
Americas, home of F1’s United States Grand Prix, will host its
first Formula E race at the start of February, before the series
returns to the Miami International Autodrome on February 20. Trips
to São Paulo, the Chinese island of Hainan, Berlin and Monaco
follow before the second new circuit on the calendar. Brands Hatch
has become Formula E’s new home in the United Kingdom, hosting a
double-header on May 29-30. The third new venue follows, with
Zandvoort – host of F1’s Dutch Grand Prix for the final time in
2026 – staging Formula E on June 18-19. Madrid, Shanghai and a
season finale under the lights in Tokyo then complete the campaign.
Of the 13 host venues next season, Jeddah, Berlin, Monaco, Brands
Hatch, Zandvoort, Madrid, Shanghai and Tokyo will all host
double-headers. In a continued move towards venues used by F1 due
to the immense performance capabilities and size of the Gen4 car,
seven of the 13 venues feature on the 2026 F1 calendar. For the
first time in several years, Formula E will stage events on
back-to-back weekends, with Berlin and Monaco taking place on
consecutive weekends, as do Zandvoort and Madrid. The sporting
format has also undergone major changes for the start of the Gen4
era. Check out the full calendar below and the new sporting format!
Formula E Season 13 Calendar (2026/27) New sporting format For the
opening season of Gen4, the sporting format has undergone
considerable changes. Single-header events will remain the same,
featuring two free practice sessions, qualifying and a 45-minute
E-Prix. In Season 13, just five venues will follow this format:
Mexico City, COTA, Miami, São Paulo and Sanya. There is one change,
though: all standard E-Prixs will feature Pit Boost and a single
Attack Mode with the cars running the low downforce setting. The
days of Formula E races featuring no Pit Boost and requiring
drivers to use Attack Mode twice are, for now, over. When it comes
to double-headers, there has been a major change. Over the last two
seasons, a double-header weekend has featured one race with Pit
Boost and another requiring drivers to use Attack Mode twice. That
is no more. Double-header events will no longer feature two
traditional E-Prixs. Instead, they will consist of one standard
45-minute E-Prix featuring Pit Boost and low downforce and one
‘E-Prix Unleashed’ race using the high downforce configuration. The
latter is a 30-minute race featuring no Pit Boost and a single
Attack Mode, placing less emphasis on energy management and more on
outright pace. It will be run more flat out and will see the Gen4
cars pushed to their limits. Jeddah, Berlin, Monaco, Brands Hatch,
Zandvoort, Madrid, Shanghai and Tokyo will all follow this format,
with the ‘E-Prix Unleashed’ race taking place on the first day of a
double-header and the traditional E-Prix on the second. Full points
will be awarded in both races, with one practice session and
qualifying taking place before each. Double-header events will no
longer feature a third practice session across the weekend.
Qualifying for sole events and double headers will see the cars
running the high downforce set up, although talks are taking place
for qualifying prior to the E-Prix on a double-header weekend to be
conducted at high downforce. The qualifying points system has also
been changed, with the driver on pole no longer receiving three
points. Instead, each driver who progresses to the duels will get a
point, with those drivers getting an extra point for each duel win.
It means the driver who claims pole will receive a total of four
points. In practice, the teams have the freedom to choose which
downforce setting is used.
