Formula E returns to Saudi Arabia in 2025 at a brand-new location
New season, new city…
Racing fans, are you strapped in, plugged in, and primed for Season 11 of the FIA Formula E?
An exciting calendar is in store, with a record-breaking 17 races for this season. It is the longest calendar in the sport’s history and will see the championship visit 11 different cities across the globe.
But what we’re more excited about is that Formula E will return to Saudi Arabia for another thrilling race under the stars next year for its first double-header, but at a brand-new location.

Taking place in February 2025, the race will be held in Jeddah on the Jeddah Corniche Circuit used by Formula 1.
Previously, the all-electric championship race has traditionally been held at a street circuit around Diriyah in Riyadh, with the first Diriyah E-Prix held in 2018.
Diriyah has been the host city in Saudi Arabia for the past six seasons.
Welcome to Jeddah
Jeddah will now host the Saudi Arabia double-header, scheduled for Friday February 14 and Saturday February 15, 2025.
The Jeddah E-Prix is set to race on a shortened version of Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah Corniche Circuit during the 2024-25 season, the same track which has been used for Formula 1 races.
But more details on the official track layout have yet to be announced.
On the switch, a Formula E spokesperson said, “The Jeddah E-Prix will offer an exhilarating race experience on a modified layout of the fast and flowing Corniche street circuit, contributing to the growth of motorsport in the region.”
“With its breathtaking Red Sea backdrop, the 2025 Jeddah E-Prix promises an unforgettable experience for fans and competitors alike.”
