Formula E fans, the countdown is on! In just a few hours, Berlin’s former Tempelhof Airport site will once again become the pulsating hotspot of e-motorsport as the impressive electric race cars roll—or rather, race—across the field. Since the inaugural race in 2015, Berlin has been considered the capital of Formula E and has held the unique distinction of being the only racetrack to have been on the calendar continuously since the start of the Formula E series. On May 2 and 3, 2026 , the ABB FIA Formula E Championship returns to the legendary Tempelhof Airport. Two days of electrifying motorsport racing, spectacular live music acts, an extensive food and beverage selection, and many other entertainment highlights await you.

Unlike their loud gasoline-powered counterparts, Formula E race cars produce barely more noise than a standard passenger car. These electric speedsters deliver up to 340 horsepower, accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under three seconds, and reach top speeds of up to 280 km/h. Despite their light weight, they are anything but boring—they deliver electrifying and thrilling moments on the track. Formula E proves that top speed and explosive acceleration are easily compatible with sustainability.

Tempelhof Airport has a special history: opened in 1923, it was one of Europe’s most important airports and a vital link for the city during the Berlin Airlift of 1948–49. Aside from a one-time stop in Berlin-Mitte in 2016, the Formula E World Championship has been held at the iconic former airport site since 2015. The vast concrete expanses and the striking terminal create a setting where historic atmosphere meets modern racing innovation—a unique backdrop for the Berlin E-Prix. This event represents the future of motorsports: 100% electric, high-tech racing with a sense of responsibility.
Formula E – more than just a motorsports event
Even off the track, there’s plenty of action all day long for young and old alike in the Fan Village: test your skills on the Formula E simulator, experience exciting shows, and enjoy live music and street food. In the Kids Zone, a mini-driving school, face painting, arts and crafts activities, and racing simulators await the youngest visitors. A special highlight is the FIA and Formula E initiative “Girls on Track, ” which inspires girls aged 12 to 18 to get into motorsports.
Visit the heart of German electric racing and experience the ABB FIA Formula E Championship, which is far more than just a sporting event. Support local talents like Maximilian Günther and show your support for the home-grown manufacturer Porsche as they compete on the historic Tempelhof Airport Circuit. A diverse supporting program guarantees entertainment for the whole family and makes the event an unforgettable experience.
