Formula E is concluding its final year under the current technical regulations, with a new single-seater electric vehicle (EV) set to debut next season in December in Saudi Arabia. The new vehicle, referred to as GEN4, is designed to be more powerful than a Formula 1 car, though it is heavier and has less downforce. As speeds increase with the GEN4 car, the sport is transitioning to venues that can accommodate these changes.
The season 12 calendar for 2026-2027 includes a total of 21 races across 13 cities, featuring several traditional race tracks. The season will kick off with a double-header in Saudi Arabia on December 18 and 19, which is the only event scheduled for the current year. The series will then continue into 2027 with races at notable Formula 1 venues in North America, including Mexico on January 16, the Circuit of the Americas in Texas on February 7, and the Miami International Autodrome on February 20. The addition of the Circuit of the Americas marks the seventh U.S. location for Formula E since 2015, joining previous venues such as the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Long Beach, California, Brooklyn, New York, Portland, Oregon, Homestead-Miami, and the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
