Formula E has extended its contract with ExCeL London through to 2026. This secures the future of the FIA Formula E World Championship at the sport’s unique indoor-outdoor venue. The agreement is still pending FIA World Motor Sport Council approval. However, it will see London host the season finale through the end of the GEN3 Evo era.
The East London circuit will host the Season 12 finale, where 22 top-tier drivers will battle for the championship titles. Fans will also witness the last UK outing for the GEN3 Evo car before GEN4’s debut in 2026.
“Since our inaugural race in 2021, it’s been incredible for ExCeL to host such a sporting spectacle and to work with Formula E in creating the only indoor/outdoor circuit.” Said Damian Norman, Director of Immersive Entertainment & Events at ExCeL London.
“It’s also been an honour for ExCeL and London to stage the championship’s season finale and for British fans to witness a world champion of motorsport crowned on UK soil. We’ve developed a great collaboration with Formula E too. From setting the Guinness World Indoor Land Speed Record to ensuring the event is powered using 100% renewable energy. So, we’re delighted to be continuing this into 2026.”
A signature venue since 2021
Since debuting in 2021, the ExCeL circuit has tested drivers with tight corners, changing grip levels, and dramatic transitions between indoor and outdoor sections. Nearly 50,000 fans attended last year’s finale, where Pascal Wehrlein claimed his first Formula E world title.
Alberto Longo, the Chief Championship Officer of Formula E said. “We’re pleased to extend our relationship with ExCeL London, which has been a perfect home for Formula E over the last few years.”
“Its unique track conditions and event space offers fans and drivers the very best of our sport, bringing the best racing and entertainment together in a truly unique venue at the heart of the capital, while all delivered sustainably.”
