Formula E 2027 Calendar Updated: Jeddah Double-Header Rescheduled to April 16-17, Sanya E-Prix Moved Forward

London, United Kingdom, November 12, 2026: Formula E has announced changes to the 2027 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship calendar, with the Jeddah E-Prix double-header now scheduled to take place on April 16 and 17, 2027. The revised dates have been approved by the FIA World Motor Sport Council following discussions between Formula E and its key partners in Saudi Arabia.

The decision was taken in coordination with host partner SELA, the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation (SAMF), the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) and local public stakeholders. The revised schedule follows ongoing discussions that considered recent developments in the region and the logistical requirements involved in staging the championship.

Despite the date change, the overall scope of the championship will remain unaffected. The Jeddah E-Prix will retain its double-header format, with both races going ahead as planned, ensuring that the total number of races in the 2027 season remains unchanged.

Formula E stated that the coordinated decision reflects the strong partnership between the championship and its Saudi Arabian stakeholders, as well as their shared commitment to delivering a world-class motorsport event.

Sanya E-Prix also gets new date

The calendar revision will also affect the 2027 Sanya E-Prix, which has been brought forward by two weeks and will now take place on April 3, 2027.

The revised date will position the Formula E race between two of Hainan’s major international events – its flagship international forum and annual trade expo. The scheduling is intended to complement these events and enhance the island’s international sporting and tourism profile.

The Sanya race will therefore slot into the updated championship calendar ahead of the rescheduled Jeddah double-header.

Ticketing information for Jeddah E-Prix

Formula E has also addressed concerns among spectators who have already purchased tickets for the Jeddah E-Prix.

Existing ticket holders will receive direct communication from official ticketing partners with details regarding the validity of their tickets for the revised dates. Information on ticket transfers and refund procedures will also be provided in due course.

With the changes now approved, Formula E and its partners will continue preparations for the revised 2027 calendar, while retaining the planned race format and overall championship schedule.
