The Madrid ePrix is a planned race of the single-seater, electrically powered Formula E championship, held in Madrid, Spain. It will be held for the first time as part of the 2025-26 season.[1]

History

[edit]

Formula E has had a presence in Spain since the 2017-18 season, when the official pre-season testing session was moved from it's previous home at Donington Park to Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Cheste, roughly 25 km from Valencia.[2] Prior to that season, several teams had also used other Spanish circuits for testing purposes such as Circuit de Calafat and Circuito Guadix.

However, the first official ePrix in Spain didn't come until 2021, when Circuit Ricardo Tormo hosted a doubleheader on 24 and 25 April, as a replacement for several cancelled rounds due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. This was also the first race to take place on a permanent circuit in series history.

In November 2024, due to devestating flooding that affected the Valencian Community and surrounding areas, the series was forced to move it's pre-season test from it's usual location at Circuit Ricardo Tormo to Circuito del Jarama.[3]

In June 2025, Circuito del Jarama was announced as one of the venues on the 2025-26 calendar, with the first ePrix scheduled to take place on 21 March 2026.[4]

The circuit had previously hosted the Spanish Grand Prix nine times between 1968 and 1981, as part of the Formula One World Championship. The track layout for the race has not yet been finalized.
