Formula E extends Excel London contract until 2026

Formula E has formally announced the extension of its contract with Excel London until at least 2026, allowing the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship to continue using the world’s first and only indoor-outdoor racetrack until the end of its GEN3 Evo era.

The extension means that the East-London location is predicted to host the final race of the Season 12 calendar, where 22 world-class drivers will compete for the coveted Drivers’, Teams’ and Manufacturers’ World Championship trophies.

The contract extension also means fans will be able to see the full GEN3 Evo lifespan race as this generation of car will take to the track for the final time in the UK ahead of the much-anticipated all-new GEN4-spec car in late 2026.

The unique circuit features indoor-outdoor conditions, changeable grip surfaces and tight technical corners, pushing the drivers and their cars to the limit.

The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has been racing at the Excel London exhibition centre since 2021, made famous by the hundreds of business, entertainment and sporting events that draw millions of visitors there each year.

During the Season 10 finale in July last summer, nearly 50,000 fans packed the venue over the weekend, where Pascal Wehrlein of TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team claimed his first World Championship victory.

Alberto Longo, Chief Championship Officer, 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.”

Damian Norman, Director of Immersive Entertainment & Events at Excel London, added: “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. 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 also 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.”
