Formula E and the FIA today announce an update to the 2026/27 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship calendar, with the 2027 Monaco E-Prix now scheduled to take place on 1 and 2 May, 2027, following an e-vote of the FIA World Motor Sport Council.

This date change, which moves the event from the originally scheduled 15 and 16 May, serves to accommodate the country’s events calendar and removes a scheduling clash with the World Endurance Championship (WEC). Furthermore, Formula E and the ACM are delighted to confirm a long-term commitment to the Principality, extending their agreement to host the Monaco E-Prix until 2031.

This extension marks a landmark chapter in the partnership between Formula E and Monaco. From its modest beginnings as a biennial event, the E-Prix has grown into an annual cornerstone of the calendar, competing on the legendary full-length track shared with other single seater series.

Alberto Longo, Co-Founder & Chief Championship Officer, Formula E, said:

“There is no stage in motorsport quite like the Circuit de Monaco, and we are thrilled to bring the next era of electric racing to the Principality. David Coulthard’s iconic GEN4 test-run at our last event set the ultimate precedent for what will be another showstopping weekend. With heightened speeds, even more overtaking, and intense wheel-to-wheel action, this jewel-in-the-crown double-header promises to be our best yet.”

Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM), said:

“We are pleased to announce that the Automobile Club de Monaco and Formula E have agreed to extend their partnership through 2031. This extension underscores the Principality’s central role in the evolution of electric mobility and ensures the continuity of the Monaco E-Prix has become a highlight of the international calendar. The ACM looks forward to continuing this journey alongside Formula E and contributing year after year to Monaco’s global prestige.”

Nyck de Vries, Driver No, 21, Mahindra Racing said:

“Monaco is one of the races every driver wants to be part of, and after winning there this year it will always hold special memories for me. Receiving the H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco Trophy from Prince Albert and Princess Charlene was a highlight of my season, and it’s a venue that not only has always been very kind to me throughout my racing career, but I am also proud to call home. Monaco is such an important part of Formula E, so the extension with the ACM is fantastic news for the championship and its fans.”
