For one weekend in February, Jeddah turns into a runway of light, speed, and sound, where the world’s top electric race cars push through a floodlit street circuit right beside the Red Sea. The Jeddah E-Prix 2026 returns as a double-header on Friday–Saturday, Feb 13–14, 2026, bringing Formula E back to the Jeddah Corniche Circuit for two nights of racing.
Even if you’re not a motorsport person, this event is designed to be easy to enjoy. It’s fast, it’s modern, and it’s built around the kind of live atmosphere people actually want. Night racing, music, fan zones, and a city that already knows how to host major international weekends.
What is the Jeddah E-Prix?
The Jeddah E-Prix is part of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, a global racing series featuring fully electric cars competing in city-center street circuits around the world. In Saudi Arabia, Formula E has become a recurring winter highlight, and Jeddah’s round is now positioned as a standout moment on the calendar thanks to its night-race setting on the Red Sea coast.
In Formula E, the energy is different from traditional racing:
- Races are shorter and more intense
- The track is tighter and closer to fans
- Strategy plays a major role, not just raw speed
That mix makes it exciting even for first-timers.
When and Where is Jeddah E-Prix 2026?
The 2026 edition runs as a two-race weekend:
- Friday, Feb 13, 2026 (Round 4)
- Saturday, Feb 14, 2026 (Round 5)
The racing takes place at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, along the city’s waterfront.
Why This Weekend Feels Special
It’s Night Racing on the Coast.
Two floodlit races beside the Red Sea turn the atmosphere into part of the experience. Cooler evening weather, reflections off the water, and a crowd energy that feels closer to a city festival than a quiet grandstand.
It’s a Double-Header.
You’re not getting one race night. You’re getting two, which means two separate race days, twice the drama, and more storylines unfolding across the weekend.
“PIT BOOST” Adds a New Layer of Strategy.
Formula E is also highlighting the return of PIT BOOST for Jeddah, an added strategic element that makes the racing more unpredictable and tactical. Even if you don’t know the technical details, the takeaway is simple: races won’t be decided only by speed, but by smart timing and strategy too.
What to Do Beyond the Track
1) Gaming Arena
Step into the Gaming Arena and put your skills to the test on racing simulators. You can compete for the best lap time on a virtual version of the real circuit, making it one of the most popular stop-and-try experiences in the Fan Village.
2) Live Music
When the racing pauses, the energy doesn’t. Expect live music and performances throughout the day built to keep the atmosphere moving and make the event feel like a full entertainment festival, not just a motorsport stop.
Adding to the entertainment, the lineup also includes headline sets from Future (Friday night), alongside Cheb Khaled, Ahmed Saad, and Tamer Ashour, turning the event into a two-night mix of motorsport and live concerts.
3) Activity Zone
The Fan Village is packed with interactive zones and partner activations, with plenty of hands-on activities designed to keep you engaged between sessions, whether you’re coming with friends, family, or just exploring solo.
4) Food Court
Fuel up with a strong variety of food and beverage options, including local flavors. The Food Court is set up to make the day easy. Grab something quick, sit down, and get back to the action without leaving the venue.
Jeddah’s Global Sports Moment
Saudi Arabia hosting major global sport is no longer a “new headline”. It’s becoming normal. What’s significant about Jeddah E-Prix is the format: a modern, future-leaning championship (electric racing) staged in one of the Kingdom’s most internationally recognized waterfront settings, with two nights of competition that are designed to feel like a full city event.
Jeddah E-Prix 2026 runs Feb 13–14. A double-header that turns the Corniche into a floodlit showcase of speed, strategy, and Saudi’s growing presence on the world sports calendar.
