Formula E has officially announced its calendar for the inaugural Gen4 season, featuring a record-breaking 21 races across 13 venues as the all-electric championship enters a new era.
The 2026/27 campaign will be the biggest in Formula E history, with three new circuits joining the schedule and several events taking place at venues familiar to Formula 1 fans.
The Gen4 era is currently set to begin at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Saudi Arabia on December 18-19, 2026. However, should circumstances prevent the event from taking place, Mexico City will instead host the opening round of the season.
Following the traditional festive break, Formula E will return in January at Mexico City’s renowned Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez before heading to the first of three new additions to the calendar.
The Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, will stage its maiden Formula E event in early February, becoming one of two current Formula 1 venues added to the championship schedule. The series will then make a return visit to the Miami International Autodrome on February 20.
From there, the championship travels to São Paulo, Hainan, Berlin and Monaco before arriving at another new destination. Brands Hatch will become Formula E’s new home in the United Kingdom, hosting a double-header event on May 29-30.
The third new venue is Zandvoort, which will welcome Formula E on June 18-19. The Dutch circuit is set to host Formula 1 for the final time in 2026 before making the switch to Formula E competition.
Madrid, Shanghai and a season-ending double-header under the lights in Tokyo will round out the championship, with the Japanese capital hosting the finale for the first time.
Eight venues will host double-header race weekends throughout the season: Jeddah, Berlin, Monaco, Brands Hatch, Zandvoort, Madrid, Shanghai and Tokyo.
The expanded calendar also reflects Formula E’s increasing move towards permanent circuits and venues used by Formula 1, driven by the enhanced performance and size of the new Gen4 machinery. Seven of the 13 venues featured on the calendar also appear on Formula 1’s 2026 schedule.
In another notable change, Formula E will return to staging races on consecutive weekends. Berlin and Monaco will be held back-to-back, while Zandvoort and Madrid will also take place on successive weekends, creating a more demanding schedule for teams and drivers.
With a record number of races, new destinations and the introduction of the highly anticipated Gen4 car, the 2026/27 season is set to mark one of the most significant chapters in Formula E’s history.
