Formula E has unveiled its calendar for the 2024-25 season, which includes a new venue in Miami, a Monaco E-Prix double-header and the opening round being held in December this year.

The proposed 17-race schedule was approved at a meeting of the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council on Tuesday, with 11 destinations set to be visited by the championship.

The Homestead-Miami Speedway, which has hosted IndyCar, NASCAR and IMSA races, will become the fifth different venue used for a Formula E race in the US. It replaces the Portland IndyCar track, used in 2023 and again later this month. The event on 12 April will take place on the majority of Homestead’s infield road course section as well as potentially part of the oval. “We think it’s a really good circuit, well-suited to our style of racing,” Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds told Autosport. “The Miami name that comes with it, from a global television audience, is a big draw, perhaps a bigger draw than cities such as Portland.”

Another new venue is set to come a month earlier on 8 March, although it currently remains a TBD. It has not been officially confirmed by Formula E, but Autosport understands this to be an inaugural race in Thailand.
