It’s been a tough job for the Orecchio Lungo (Long Ear) at Electric Motor News, but he’s managed to figure out the race order for the Formula E Season 13 calendar.
The first unknown is the first race, because São Paulo, Brazil, has a very important commitment with Carnival, so according to what we’ve heard, the first race of the season could be in São Paulo on Saturday, December 5, 2026.
But the date remains a question mark, and if it’s not possible to race in December, the São Paulo race would be postponed to March and would be the sixth of the championship.
Jeddah, with its double race, would be next on the list, and the possible dates would be Friday, December 18th and Saturday, December 19th, 2026.
The new year would see the American continent host two single races in Mexico City and Miami in January, while in February the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, would also host a single race.
At this point, there’s the mystery of Sao Paulo, which, if it can’t be held in December, would be rescheduled for March as the sixth race of the championship, which would then land in Europe.
The European race order is expected to be Jarama (Madrid) as a single race; two races in Germany, where the historic Tempelhof Airport in Berlin seems to be gaining ground.
After Germany, the season would head to Monte Carlo for a double-header, likely to take place as usual in May, before heading to the Netherlands, where a single Formula E race would be held at Zandvoort for the first time.
The European season would end immediately after in England, and according to reports from the Orecchio Lungo London is in the mix, but not Excel, and Brands Hatch’s odds would rise.
The championship’s final push would be in Asia, in this order: Jakarta (where it’s still unclear whether it will be one or two races), one race in Sanya and two races in Shanghai, China; finishing the season with the two races in Tokyo, which, however, is expected to move from the Big Sight to another location.
We’ll find out in June if this is confirmed… although there’s still time to overturn everything, as often happens in Formula E when it comes to the calendar…
