Jeddah E-Prix 2026

The Jeddah E-Prix 2026 opens Season 13 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. It is a double-header, with two races on consecutive days at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on 18 and 19 December 2026. It is for motorsport fans, families and visitors who want a short city break in Jeddah.

About the Jeddah E-Prix

Formula E is the FIA world championship for electric single-seater racing cars. The official Formula E calendar lists Jeddah as Round 1 and Round 2 of Season 13, which has 21 races in total. This means the Jeddah E-Prix is the first chance to see the new season in action.

The races take place on the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, a street circuit along the Red Sea coast in the north of the city. In recent seasons the Jeddah E-Prix has been run under floodlights in the evening, which is a strong part of its appeal. Check the official schedule for 2026 race times.

With two races over two days, the event fits well into a short break. Visitors can spend the day exploring Jeddah, for example the historic district of Al-Balad or the Corniche waterfront, and go to the circuit in the evening.

How to get to Jeddah for the Jeddah E-Prix

The main airport is King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED), which serves Jeddah with many international and domestic connections. The circuit is in the north of the city, so road transfers from the airport are usually straightforward.

For a trip to Jeddah for the Jeddah E-Prix, arrange transfers between hotel and circuit for both race days, as traffic can be heavy around the Corniche on event days. Check the official entry requirements for Saudi Arabia for each traveller before you confirm bookings.

Where to stay

The best areas are along the Jeddah Corniche and in the northern districts of the city, which are close to the circuit. Obhur, further north on the coast, is another option for resort-style stays. Central districts such as Al Hamra and areas near Al-Balad give easy access to the old town and shopping, with a longer drive to the circuit.

December is a popular month in Jeddah, so book hotels near the Jeddah Corniche Circuit early, especially for groups.
