Formula E released its season 12 calendar for 2026–2027, which includes 21 races across 13 cities. This upcoming season will introduce a new single-seater electric vehicle, the GEN4, and a new double-header weekend format for most races.

The season will begin in December with a double-header event in Saudi Arabia on December 18 and 19, 2026. This will be the only season 12 round scheduled for 2026. Mexico is scheduled to host a race on January 16, 2027, followed by two U.S. races: one at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas on February 7, 2027, and another at the Miami International Autodrome on February 20, 2027.

The Circuit of the Americas race will utilize a shorter version of the circuit, similar to the configuration used by NASCAR, rather than the full Formula 1 layout. Previous U.S. Formula E locations have included the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Long Beach California, Brooklyn New York, Portland Oregon, Homestead-Miami, and the Hard Rock Stadium on the outskirts of Miami. The ExCel Arena in London is no longer a venue for Formula E.

Later in the season, a race is scheduled at Berlin-Templehof in May 2027, and the Monaco e-Prix is also scheduled for May 2027. Formula E will race at the Brands Hatch circuit in Kent in late May 2027, and a race at Zandvoort in the Netherlands is scheduled for mid-June 2027. Spain's Jarama is set to host a race at the end of June 2027, with Shanghai scheduled for early July 2027. The season finale is set for Japan in late July 2027.

The new double-header weekend format will feature a 30-minute race on the first day, where cars will use high downforce bodywork. The second day of a double-header weekend will feature a 45-minute e-prix, during which drivers will need to manage energy. Formula E cofounder and chief championship officer Alberto Longo said, "We are incredibly proud to unveil our biggest and most ambitious calendar to date." Longo added, "Launching the season with our first-ever opener under the lights in Jeddah to demonstrate the speed of these GEN4 cars sets a spectacular tone, while grouping our races into distinct continental clusters ensures we do so as sustainably as possible." He also stated, "The tracks are faster, the competition is fiercer, and we cannot wait to get this historic season underway."

The GEN4 car is at times more powerful than a Formula 1 car, though it is heavier and has less downforce.
