Formula E aims to add another race in the USA to the calendar of Season 13, the debut year of the Gen4 cars.
Formula E is actively working to expand its calendar for the upcoming season. The debut of the Gen4 cars is anticipated by the end of 2026, marking a significant innovation in the championship. Season 13 is expected to be a pivotal edition for Formula E.
Currently, Season 12 features a record-breaking 17 races across 11 different locations. The schedule for the 2025-2026 season was announced late, causing some challenges for the championship. To prevent similar delays, Formula E management is now planning well in advance.
Leaks suggest that Formula E aims to present its calendar to the FIA in March, prior to unveiling the Gen4 car in April. The championship is eyeing a calendar with 18-19 races in 12-13 venues. CEO Jeff Dodds envisions a 22-race calendar by 2030, considering it an optimal number for Formula E’s growth.
The addition of another round in the USA is on Formula E’s agenda. While Miami Autodrome is set to return next season, negotiations are in progress for another American race in 2026-2027. The exact location and nature of this event, whether street circuit or permanent track, have yet to be disclosed. A double race in the USA would be instrumental in Formula E’s expansion, with the championship aiming for increased presence in the American market.
