The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has reached its halfway point, and there is no more fitting venue to mark the occasion than the streets of Monaco. Rounds 9 & 10 of the 2025/26 season head to the Principality on Saturday 16 May and Sunday 17 May, bringing all-electric single-seater racing back to one of motorsport's most storied backdrops.
The Monaco weekend operates under a distinct format that sets it apart from the rest of the Formula E calendar. Rather than running Free Practice 1 on the Friday, as is standard at most venues, the session is folded into race day itself — creating a dense, action-packed programme from early morning through to the afternoon.
Saturday's schedule (local time):
Sunday's schedule (local time):
Fans around the world can follow both races live through their local broadcast partners, or stream the action directly via the Formula E website and the official Formula E app. Full race commentary is available on both platforms, alongside Live Timing — a real-time interactive tool that includes a live track map and the ability to follow individual drivers across every session of every E-Prix. Highlights, detailed session reports, exclusive interviews, standings, results, and trackside data are also available throughout the weekend.
Since joining the Formula E calendar, Monaco has swiftly established itself as one of the championship's premier events — a favourite among fans, drivers, teams, and media in equal measure. The circuit used is the full 3.337 km layout, and despite the tight, unforgiving nature of the streets, the racing consistently delivers.
The statistics speak for themselves: all eight Formula E races held in Monaco have seen at least one driver gain nine or more positions from their starting grid spot. Last year, Nick Cassidy produced one of the most memorable drives in recent memory, charging from 14th to third with Jaguar TCS Racing.

Over the years, the Principality has been the scene of countless moments of triumph and heartbreak. This weekend, a new chapter will be written on those same streets.
With eight rounds already in the books, the 2025/26 season has delivered no shortage of drama and landmark moments.
The campaign opened in Brazil, where Jake Dennis finally ended an almost two-year winless streak, converting his Julius Baer Pole Position into a commanding victory for Andretti. Mexico City followed, with Nick Cassidy producing an extraordinary comeback drive from 13th to first to hand Citroën Racing their first single-seater win, just two races into their Formula E debut.
At Miami, Jaguar's Mitch Evans mastered the wet conditions to claim his 15th career victory, placing him alone at the top of the all-time wins list in Formula E history.
Jeddah then hosted a double-header of its own. Pascal Wehrlein took the opening race to move to the top of the drivers' standings with Porsche, before António Félix da Costa delivered a masterclass the following day — clinching his first win with Jaguar and, remarkably, recording a fifth victory with a fifth different manufacturer in Formula E.
Madrid welcomed the championship for the first time, racing at the historic Jarama circuit, where da Costa triumphed again to complete back-to-back victories.
Most recently, the calendar visited Berlin — always a pivotal stop on the Formula E schedule. Nico Müller claimed the first Formula E win of his career on Saturday, doing so with a special 'Pink Pig' tribute livery that delighted the home crowd. On Sunday, it was Evans once again who rose to the occasion, converting a 17th-place start into a race win through outstanding strategy and racecraft. Formula E rookie Pepe Martí also made headlines in Berlin, describing his first experience of a Formula E pack race as 'unbelievable' after losing his mirror and navigating the chaos at Tempelhof.
With the standings tightly contested and the most iconic street circuit on the calendar up next, Monaco promises to be a defining weekend in the 2025/26 title fight.
