The Formula E 2026/27 calendar has undergone a major strategic adjustment following the postponement of the Jeddah season opener. Due to ongoing geopolitical instability in the Middle East, organizers have moved the Saudi Arabian rounds to April, establishing the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City as the official launchpad for the Gen4 era on January 16.
This decision follows constructive dialogue between primary partners to preserve the integrity of the championship. Organizers confirmed that the total race count remains unchanged despite the shift. Jeddah is now rescheduled for April 16-17, taking the slot previously reserved for Sanya, China. This move highlights the resilience of the partnership between the all-electric series and Saudi Arabian authorities in delivering a world-class event under challenging circumstances.
The updated 21-round calendar creates a demanding schedule for teams. Following the Mexican opener, the grid will head to Austin on February 6, Miami on February 20, and wrap up the American leg in Sao Paulo on March 13. This logistics shift is critical for manufacturers like Porsche, who must maintain championship momentum from the very first green light.
Defending champion Pascal Wehrlein arrives as the man to beat, carrying the weight of his second world title. Having matched the record of Jean-Eric Vergne, Wehrlein faces the unique challenge of mastering the Gen4 machinery, which is touted as the fastest car in the series' history. Pre-season testing in Madrid, scheduled for November 16-20, will provide the first real glimpse into the competitive order of the field.
As the season progresses, the championship transitions to Europe, visiting Monaco in early May, followed by Berlin and a historic debut at Brands Hatch, which replaces the ExCeL as the London E-Prix host. The expansive calendar also features a maiden appearance at Zandvoort and a race in Madrid, before concluding with the final rounds in Shanghai and Tokyo throughout July.
