Formula E and the FIA have announced an update to the 2026/27 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship calendar, with the 2027 Monaco E-Prix now scheduled to take place on 1st and 2nd May 2027.
This date change, which moves the event from the originally scheduled 15th & 16th May, serves to accommodate the country’s events calendars and removes a scheduling clash with the World Endurance Championship (WEC).
Furthermore, Formula E and the ACM are delighted to confirm a long-term commitment to the Prinicipality, extending their agreement to hos the Monaco E-Prix until 2030.
This extension marks a landmark chapter in the partnership between Formula E and Monaco. From its modest beginnings as a biennial event, the E-Prix has grown into an annual cornerstone of the calendar, competing on the legendary full-length track shared with other single seater series.
Formula E and the FIA announced the first provisional calendar for the 2026-27 season of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship following validation from the FIA World Motor Sport Council.
Featuring it’s most expansive season yet with 21 races across 13 global cities, highlights include new races at The Circuit of The Americas (COTA) in Austin and MASCOT Zandvoort Circuit, as well as a new home for the London E-Prix at the iconic Brands Hatch circuit.

As Formula E and the FIA prepare to unleash the Gen4 car, its massive boost in power and velocity requires tracks built for extreme performance. This has driven a natural shift toward established permanent circuits, through the series remains firmly committed to its city-centre roots. The new locations strike a perfect balance – offering tracks that can handle Gen4’s raw speed while remaining accessible from major city hubs.
Sustainability has been central to the development of the calendar, with race events grouped by continent across the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific, reducing freight mileage and Co2 emissions.
New Race Format
The 2026-27 season and start of the Gen4 era will also welcome a transformative new race format for double-header race weekends, featuring the classic race (E-Prix) and an all-new shorter race (E-PrixUnleashed).
Introduced to showcase the full, unrestricted power of the GEN4 car, this new approach delivers a completely different, fast-paced racing style. The complementing formats will offer fans a highly entertaining mix of tactical, strategic racing and pure, high-speed performance drama across a single weekend.

We are incredibly proud to unveil our biggest and most ambitious calendar to date. Expanding to 21 races across 13 iconic cities is a huge milestone, and welcoming world-renowned tracks like COTA in Austin, Zandvoort, and Brands Hatch provides the ultimate stage to showcase our new GEN4 era. Every stop on this calendar has been chosen to deliver maximum sporting drama. Launching the season with our first-ever opener under the lights in Jeddah to showcase the speed of these GEN4 cars sets a spectacular tone, while grouping our races into distinct continental clusters ensures we do so as sustainably as possible. The tracks are faster, the competition is fiercer, and we cannot wait to get this historic season underway. Alberto Longo, Co-Founder & Chief Championship Office, Formula E.
We are delighted to support the expansion of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship calendar into key markets such as the USA, as well as on circuits that we believe will truly showcase the dynamic capabilities of the new GEN4 car. This is also a particularly significant moment for us, as we are now able to reveal the framework of the GEN4 sporting regulations. Working in partnership with Formula E and in close consultation with the competitors, we have adapted these regulations to match and highlight the incredible performance of the GEN4, and we believe the result will achieve exactly that. Marek Nawarecki, Director, FIA Circuit Sport Department.
