Jeff Dodds, CEO of Formula E, said:
“The Season 11 results are a powerful validation of Formula E's strategy: delivering world-class, unpredictable racing in the heart of iconic cities. To achieve a 17% increase in our global TV audience to 561 million and grow our already highly engaged fanbase to over 422 million worldwide is an outstanding feat.
“We are constantly pushing the boundaries of what electric motorsport can be. Our commitment to innovation and thrilling competition is clearly resonating with a rapidly expanding global audience. The introduction of the GEN3 Evo car, the fastest accelerating FIA single-seater, is a testament to that commitment. We are already looking forward to an even more exciting Season 12 - our biggest calendar yet - beginning in just a few months, as we continue to attract new fans, partners, and manufacturers to the sport.”
The all-electric series’ record-breaking 12th season begins on 6 December 2025 on the vibrant streets of São Paulo. Calendar highlights include new races in Madrid and Miami’s International Autodrome, plus returning venues Berlin, Tokyo, and Shanghai, each hosting double-header race weekends. Monaco continues its role as the jewel in the crown of motorsport, hosting back-to-back races over a single weekend on the iconic street circuit. The season concludes once more in London, with a climactic double-header at the Excel London on 15-16 August 2026, that will round out the end of the GEN3 Evo era Formula E car, ahead of the championship’s all-new GEN4 car debut at the end of 2026.
