Motorsport legend Nelson Piquet once famously compared racing around the tight, twisty streets of Monaco to "riding a bicycle around your living room." For decades, that analogy held true---until Formula E arrived and completely rewrote the rulebook.
If you thought overtaking in the Principality was impossible, think again. The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is returning to the most famous street circuit in the world on May 16 & 17, 2026, and this time, the stakes are doubly high.

For the 2025-26 season, Monaco isn't just hosting a single race; it is hosting a massive back-to-back double-header for Rounds 9 and 10 of the championship. Here is everything you need to know about the most glamorous, action-packed weekend on the electric racing calendar.
Formula E has consistently proven that its nimble, instantaneous-torque cars are tailor-made for the Circuit de Monaco. Unlike other series where the pole-sitter essentially dictates the Sunday parade, the Monaco E-Prix has delivered dozens of lead changes, daring overtakes at the hairpin, and breathtaking moves out of the iconic tunnel.
Hosting Rounds 9 and 10 on the same weekend means the championship fight will be blown wide open. With a maximum of 58 points on the table across the two days, a driver who masters the streets of Monte Carlo could fundamentally alter the trajectory of their 2026 title campaign.
The Monaco E-Prix isn't just about what happens between the barriers; it's a full-day entertainment destination. The Formula E Fan Festival is returning, bringing a massive lineup of off-track entertainment to keep your race experience fully charged.

Here is what you can expect in the Fan Village this year:
đź Gaming Arena: Think you have what it takes to master Sainte Devote? Jump into the Fanatec racing simulators and compete against other fans to set your personal best lap time on a virtual version of the real Monaco circuit.
đ· Live Music: The Principality will be buzzing. Make some moves off the track with live music and performances keeping the energy high from the morning practice sessions all the way to the podium celebrations.
đ§ Kids' Zone: Formula E is the ultimate family-friendly motorsport. The Kids' Zone is packed with activities, from face painting and coloring to a Mini Driving School! Bigger kids can also jump into dedicated simulators to race against their friends.
đ Food Court: You can't visit the French Riviera without indulging. The food court will feature a wide range of food and beverage options, bringing you the absolute best of local Monegasque and international flavors.
With back-to-back racing in the Principality, tickets for the 2026 Monaco E-Prix are expected to sell out faster than a GEN3 Evo car off the starting line. Whether you want to sit at the iconic Swimming Pool chicane or watch the heavy braking battles at Casino Square, you need to act fast.
