Formula E’s 2026/27 GEN4 grid: confirmed drivers so far
Formula E’s GEN4-era grid features 11 teams, two rookies and several moves, with three seats still unconfirmed.

Formula E’s first GEN4-era season is taking shape ahead of pre-season testing at Jarama on 16 November 2026 and the season opener in Jeddah on 18 December. The championship’s latest driver update lists 11 teams and confirmed race seats at nine of them, mixing familiar pairings with new partnerships and two full-time newcomers.
Three places in the published 11-team grid remain unfilled: Jaguar TCS Racing has one vacancy, while Lola Formula E Team has yet to name either driver. Separately, the article notes that Porsche’s second team entry has not confirmed any signings, but does not identify that entry.
The list is therefore a snapshot of the announced line-ups, not a complete roster of every cockpit connected with the championship. Below is the team-by-team picture, including the confirmed drivers and the seats still marked TBC.

The line-ups reported so far show a mix of unchanged duos, returning drivers and first-time partnerships. Andretti and Citroën carry over their pairings, while other teams have reshaped their garages for the start of the GEN4 era. Here is the full list of teams and drivers named in the update:
- Andretti — Jake Dennis and Felipe Drugovich.
- Citroën — Jean-Eric Vergne and Nick Cassidy.
- CUPRA KIRO — Pepe Martí and Jake Hughes. Hughes returns to the team’s line-up.
- Fortescue Zero Racing — Taylor Barnard and Dan Ticktum, who moves to the team.
- Jaguar TCS Racing — Antonio Felix da Costa; one seat remains TBC.
- Lola Formula E Team — both seats remain TBC.
- Mahindra Racing — Nyck de Vries and Edoardo Mortara.
- Nissan Formula E Team — Oliver Rowland and Zane Maloney, who joins from a new team.
- Opel GSE Formula E Team — Mitch Evans and Théo Pourchaire. Evans moves from Jaguar.
- Paysafe Envision Formula E Team — Maximilian Günther and Zak O’Sullivan. Günther’s move to Envision is among the notable changes in the Gen4 driver market.
- Porsche Formula E Team — Pascal Wehrlein and Nico Müller.
Two drivers are highlighted as new full-time names for 2026/27: Frenchman Théo Pourchaire, who joins Opel GSE Formula E Team, and Briton Zak O’Sullivan, promoted to a race seat at Paysafe Envision Formula E Team after serving as its simulator driver and taking part in rookie tests. Their arrivals give the GEN4 grid a pair of first-time full-season competitors, while several established names start the new era in different surroundings.

The team changes extend beyond those two newcomers. Dan Ticktum moves from CUPRA KIRO to Fortescue Zero Racing, where he partners Taylor Barnard. Zane Maloney leaves Lola for Nissan, joining Oliver Rowland, and Mitch Evans begins a new chapter with Opel after a decade at Jaguar. Maximilian Günther joins Envision, while Jake Hughes returns to a full-time Formula E seat at CUPRA KIRO after a year away. Jaguar’s confirmed signing is Antonio Felix da Costa, who is set to have a new teammate following Evans’ departure.
Several teams, meanwhile, keep their established combinations. Jake Dennis and Felipe Drugovich remain together at Andretti, Jean-Eric Vergne and Nick Cassidy continue at Citroën, and Mahindra retains Nyck de Vries and Edoardo Mortara. Porsche Formula E Team also keeps Pascal Wehrlein and Nico Müller. These unchanged pairings provide continuity as the championship enters a new technical era, while the reshuffled line-ups will have to build their partnerships around the GEN4 cars.

The published list presents confirmed drivers rather than a complete picture of every cockpit. Jaguar still has one vacancy and Lola has two, while the separate Porsche second entry has announced no driver signings. The FIA Formula E update does not name that second entry or give details of any further announcements, so those positions remain unresolved in its current account of the grid. The line-up can still change before pre-season testing begins; for now, these are the teams and drivers identified for the 2026/27 season.
