Formula E and the FIA, the global governing body for motorsport, have signed an agreement through the 2038 season for the continued promotion of the FIA Formula E World Championship within the all-electric single-seater category.

“Formula E’s growth since its inception has been nothing short of extraordinary, with hundreds of millions of fans and world-class teams and drivers deciding to choose highly competitive electric racing,” said Formula E Chief Executive Officer Jeff Dodds. “This long-term extension of the partnership enables us to continue building the brand, investing in the product and delivering some of the most captivating racing that has made us famous. With this long-term extension, the opportunity that Formula E now has to impact world motorsport will be truly transformational.”

The Miami International Autodrome will host Formula E racing for the first time as part of the provisional 2025–2026 season calendar. The Formula E World Championship will feature 18 races across 12 cities, and the event at Miami International Autodrome at Hard Rock Stadium, where Formula 1 races each year, marks the second time since Season 1 that the circuit has come to South Beach; Formula E raced earlier this season at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

“We’ve believed in Formula E since day one and this extension reaffirms our confidence in where it’s headed,” said Mike Fries, chief executive officer of Liberty Global, which owns the series. “With this new agreement in place, Formula E is now positioned better than ever to define the future of motorsport — more innovative, more inclusive, more sustainable — and to inspire the next generation of fans, drivers, and partners around the world.”

Since its first race in Beijing in 2014, Formula E now features 11 teams and races through locations including Monaco, Tokyo, London and Shanghai. Under current plans, Formula E is set to continue its development strategy for its racing cars, which showcases the increased relevance to consumers and the wider EV market.

“The extension of the agreement governing the FIA Formula E World Championship is a fantastic outcome for the sport and a clear reflection of our ongoing strategy at the FIA to foster long-term stability, innovation and growth across all areas of motorsport,” said FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem. “We are delighted to be continuing this journey with Formula E and I look forward to seeing it grow even further, both on and off the track, in the years to come.”
