The 2025–26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will be the twelfth season of the FIA Formula E championship, a motor racing championship for electrically powered vehicles recognised by motorsport's governing body, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), as the highest class of competition for electric open-wheel racing cars.
It is set to be the final season of the Formula E Gen3 Evo, with the Gen4 regulations coming into effect the following season.[1]

After three years of competing in the series, the McLaren Formula E Team confirmed it would not return to the championship for the 2025–26 season to focus on its LMDh project in the World Endurance Championship.[3] The team did not find a buyer and is expected to shut down.[4]
Driver changes
Nick Cassidy announced during the 2024–25 season that he would not continue racing for Jaguar TCS Racing in season twelve, instead opting to leave the team after two seasons.[5]

- Formula E will make its racing debut at Circuito del Jarama, with the track holding the inaugural Madrid ePrix after previously hosting season eleven's pre-season test when the Circuit Ricardo Tormo was unavailable due to flooding in the area.[8]
