Here is the thing about racing calendars: they rarely stay still when logistics and regional developments demand a rethink. Formula E, working alongside host partner SELA, the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation (SAMF), The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), and local public stakeholders, has officially pushed through an update for the 2027 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship schedule.
The most prominent shift hits the Jeddah E-Prix double-header, which now locks in for 16 and 17 April 2027. This change cleared the final hurdle following formal approval by the FIA World Motor Sport Council.
Now, why the shuffle? The series points to constructive ongoing dialogue among all primary partners, carefully weighing recent developments in the region alongside essential logistical considerations. Thankfully, the total race count and the double-header structure in Jeddah stay completely intact, preserving the full scope of the championship.
That ripple effect does not stop in Saudi Arabia, either. Because of this adjustment, the 2027 Sanya E-Prix also moves, coming forward by two weeks to land on 3 April 2027. That timing places the event right between Hainan’s flagship international forum and its annual trade expo, neatly slotting the race to complement the island's premier global gatherings.
For anyone holding passes already, official ticketing partners will reach out directly with all the necessary details regarding ticket validity for the new dates, transfer options, and refund procedures.
