Formula E has announced a 2025-26 season calendar headlined by a move to Formula 1’s Miami Grand Prix venue for its United States round.
It used a version of the track around Miami’s Hard Rock stadium for its Evo Sessions celebrity/influencer event earlier this year - but its actual race was at the nearby Homestead circuit, using an infield course within the NASCAR oval.

Now Formula E will race on the Miami street track, albeit using a slightly different circuit configuration, with its January 31 date kicking off a multi-year deal.
"The US is obviously such a key market for Formula E," said its chief championship officer Alberto Longo.
"We have gone from Homestead speedway to Miami Hard Rock international circuit, which is absolutely a good uplift, a better venue especially for Formula E.
"We have five different layouts of track in Miami at the stadium and we have definitely chosen the right configuration for Formula E, the one which will give more spectacle. Definitely hopefully we will be there for many, many years."
Miami joins Mexico City, Jeddah, Monaco and Shanghai on the list of current F1 venues that also host Formula E, but it’s an F1 venue from the distant past that provides the other major addition to the 2025-26 Formula E schedule.
As reported by The Race last month, Madrid's Jarama track - an F1 Spanish GP venue until 1981 - will be the home for Formula E’s first Spanish event since Valencia 2021. Pre-season testing was rapidly switched to Jarama last winter after the devastating floods in the Valencia region put the circuit out of commission.
Longer-term, Kiro team backer Cupra is known to be keen for Formula E to race in Barcelona - and a version of epic 1960/70s F1 venue Montjuic Park may be used for that.
"Obviously in Spain you have a lot of venues that we are discussing with," Longo replied when asked about the Montjuic prospect by The Race.
"Barcelona is one of them, Montjuic is one of the venues that we have been discussing. We would love to be there, definitely. It’s exactly what we want to do: be racing in the streets of the biggest and most beautiful cities in the world and Barcelona ticks all the boxes for us.
"So we would definitely love to be racing there, and why not do it every other year together with Madrid? Madrid and Barcelona could eventually have alternate races year on year.
"But it’s too early. We are discussing with some other cities in Spain such as Seville and Malaga. Definitely we would love to have more than just Madrid on the calendar."
Two to-be-confirmed slots in May and June may be taken by a return to Sanya for a second Chinese event alongside Shanghai - and by the currently-absent Jakarta round.
Longo hopes a fresh deal for that event can be finalised during its 2025 edition in a fortnight.
The 18-race calendar will be Formula E's longest ever if the two TBCs come off,
The Asian leg of the calendar shifts to slightly later than in recent seasons, with the potential Sanya/Jakarta events and then Shanghai and Tokyo covering late May to late July dates.
That moves the season finale in London to mid-August, for what Longo suggested may be the quirky part-indoor ExCeL track’s last Formula E event given he suspects the incoming faster Gen4 cars will not be suitable for it - though alternative UK venues may be hard to find as discussions with Silverstone have not yet come to anything.
Sam Smith's verdict
For its 12th season Formula E has delivered a typically wide-ranging but idiosyncratically quirky calendar once more.
And TBCs again!
When Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds was telling media back in April that he believed this would be the first-ever Formula E calendar not to feature TBCs, some of us who have covered it for years simply glazed over.
Formula E has a seriously tough job in putting its schedule together. Gone are the days of races in the middle of central Paris, Hong Kong and Rome. The calendar is now a compromise schedule that essentially is generally built around three-to-four pillars. These are Mexico, Monaco, Tokyo and London.
It is also formed in the complex freight routes and logistical challenges required and it is a full-time job just getting the cadence and venues in a position where you can build any kind of calendar.
The big ‘win’ here is clearly at last getting back to downtown Miami. It was very beneficial for Formula E to do its Evo Sessions mega-marketing-and-influencer activation in March, as that helped the Hard Rock Stadium track owners see what the all-electric world championship can do on many levels.
Does the Miami upgrade from Homestead mask the fact a second US date wasn’t forthcoming? Probably, yes.
The fact that Tokyo has a third season of differing dates must be frustrating but civil engineering work around the Big Sight, Ariake venue forced Formula E Operations’ hand here.
The knock-on of this was to push the London finale back into mid-August. Not ideal but it at least means that the FIFA World Cup will be out of the way.
Big question marks still affect the Asian leg with possibly Jakarta and Sanya slotted in, although they are both at critical and complex stages of negotiations.
