Team changes

[edit | edit source]

After three years of competing in the series, McLaren announced in April 2025 that the McLaren Formula E Team would not return to the championship for the 2025–26 season to focus on its LMDh project in the World Endurance Championship.[23] The team did not find a buyer and shut down, leaving Nissan without a customer team for the first time since the 2021–22 season.[24]

Citroën announced they would be joining Formula E in the 2025–26 season, as Stellantis replaced Maserati MSG Racing, which had competed in the series for 3 years, with the Citroën brand.[25] This marked the marque's debut in top-level single-seater racing.[26]

TAG Heuer ended their partnership with Porsche after being their title sponsor for six seasons.[27]

Driver changes

[edit | edit source]

Envision Racing and Robin Frijns parted ways at the end of the 2024–25 season following six seasons together across two spells, with Frijns focusing on his FIA WEC Hypercar program with BMW M Team WRT.[28][29] To replace Frijns, the team signed Jaguar's reserve driver Joel Eriksson, who entered ten Formula E races in 2021 and 2024, for his full-season debut.[11]

Taylor Barnard, who finished fourth in his debut season with McLaren, moved to DS Penske, replacing Jean-Éric Vergne, who ended his affiliation with the DS Automobiles brand after eight seasons.[7] Vergne moved over to newly entered Stellantis sister brand Citroën, where he was joined by season eleven runner-up Nick Cassidy, who departed Jaguar TCS Racing after two seasons with the team.[30][16] This saw former champion Stoffel Vandoorne leave Maserati MSG to become Jaguar's reserve driver, while Jake Hughes left the series.[31]

António Félix da Costa departed the Porsche Formula E Team after three seasons as he moved to Jaguar TCS Racing to replace Citroën-bound Cassidy.[32][9] The team signed Nico Müller, who departed Andretti after a single season with the American team, where he finished 15th in the standings.[33][19] To replace Müller, Andretti signed 2022 Formula 2 Champion Felipe Drugovich for his full-season debut after he made a one-round appearance in the 2024–25 season with Mahindra Racing.[34]

David Beckmann left Cupra Kiro after a season with the team and returned to reserve driver duties at Porsche.[35][36] He was replaced by former Red Bull junior driver Pepe Martí, who graduated from Formula 2, where he drove for Campos Racing.[5]

Departing team McLaren saw Taylor Barnard move to DS Penske, while Sam Bird would not return to race in the series after having taken part in every season since the championship's inauguration, instead taking up a reserve driver role at Nissan.[7][37]

Calendar

[edit | edit source]

The official calendar was released on 16 October 2025.[38] The following ePrix are contracted to form the 2025–26 Formula E World Championship, which will be the longest season in championship history, consisting of a record 17 races.

Sporting regulations

[edit | edit source]

The format used in qualifying has been slightly altered, with the two group stage sessions shortened from twelve to ten minutes each. The requirement for every driver to set a laptime in the first half of group qualifying has also been removed.[38]

Races including a mandatory pit boost stop now require drivers to only take attack mode once instead of twice.[38]

Season report

[edit | edit source]

Pre-season

[edit | edit source]

After the pre-season test for the 2024–25 season had to be relocated to Circuito del Jarama due to flooding in Valencia, Formula E returned to Circuit Ricardo Tormo ahead of the 2025–26 season, with six sessions held on 27–30 October. Mahindra's Edoardo Mortara posted the fastest time of the test in the penultimate session, leading Nissan's defending champion Oliver Rowland, DS Penske's new signing Taylor Barnard and the second Nissan of Norman Nato, with the top four separated by less than a hundreth of a second and the whole field less than 0.9 seconds apart.[42] The test once again featured a mock race which was also used to test yellow flag and red flag procedures during pit boost stops and was won by Porsche's Nico Müller.[43] Like in the season before, the official pre-season test was followed by an all-female test, this time consisting of two separate sessions. F1 Academy driver Chloe Chambers posted the fastest time for Mahindra, ahead of Abbi Pulling's Nissan.[44]

Opening rounds

[edit | edit source]

Porsche's Pascal Wehrlein was fastest in qualifying for the season-opening São Paulo ePrix, but a penalty demoted him to fourth on the grid and allowed Andretti's Jake Dennis to start the race first. Dennis, Mortara, Wehrlein, Nato and Jaguar's António Félix da Costa formed the top group in the opening stages, with Rowland and Citroën's Jean-Éric Vergne joining the lead battle through the first round of attack mode activations. The two Nissan drivers collided on lap 17, with Nato suffering a puncture. Citroën's Nick Cassidy rose through the field after taking his second attack mode. A clash between Mortara and Lola's Lucas di Grassi on lap 22 caused a safety car, with all leaders bar Dennis already into their second attack mode. That allowed him to take attack mode and the lead once racing resumed, but Cupra Kiro's Pepe Martí then misjudged a full course yellow thrown for Jaguar's Mitch Evans. He heavily collided with two other cars, flew into the air and caused a red flag. Dennis led the one-lap resumption, winning ahead of Rowland and Cassidy.[45]

Notes

[edit | edit source]
  1. ^ The Citroën powertrain is a rebadged DS E-Tense FE25, contributing points towards Stellantis' total in the Manufacturers' Standings.
  2. ^ Pascal Wehrlein took pole position after setting the fastest time in qualifying. Jake Dennis started the race from first place as Wehrlein served a 3-place grid penalty for wheelspinning in the pitlane during qualifying.
  3. ^ Norman Nato set the fastest lap, but did not finish in the top 10, so was ineligible to be the point-scorer for the fastest lap. Oliver Rowland was the point-scorer instead for setting the fastest lap of those finishing in the top 10.
