Formula E fans, the countdown is on! In just a few months, Berlin’s former Tempelhof Airport will once again become the pulsating hotspot of e-motorsports when the impressive e-race cars roll – or rather race – across the field. Since the premiere race in 2015, Berlin has been considered the capital of Formula E and has held the special position of being the only race track that has been continuously represented on the calendar since the beginning of the Formula E series. On May 2 and 3, 2026 , the ABB FIA Formula E Championship will return to the legendary Tempelhof Airport. Two days of electrifying motorsport racing, spectacular live music acts, extensive catering options, and many other entertainment highlights await you.

Unlike their noisy gasoline-powered counterparts, Formula E race cars produce little more noise than a normal car. The electric cars deliver up to 340 hp, accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under three seconds, and reach top speeds of up to 280 km/h. Despite their lightness, they are anything but boring – they provide electrifying and exciting moments on the track. Formula E proves that top speed and explosive acceleration are perfectly compatible with sustainability.

Tempelhof Airport has a special history: opened in 1923, it was one of the most important airports in Europe and a vital link for the city during the Berlin Airlift in 1948/49. Apart from a one-off trip to Berlin-Mitte in 2016, the Formula E World Championship has been held at the iconic former airport site since 2015. The vast concrete surfaces and striking terminal create a backdrop where historical atmosphere meets modern racing innovation – a unique setting for the Berlin E-Prix. This represents the future of motorsport: 100% electric, high-tech racing with responsibility.
Formula E – more than just a motorsport event
There is also plenty of action for young and old alike away from the racetrack throughout the day: test your skills on the Formula E simulator, experience exciting shows, enjoy live music and street food. In the Kids Zone, a mini driving school, face painting, painting and craft activities, and racing simulators await the youngest visitors. A special highlight is the FIA and Formula E initiative “Girls on Track, “ which aims to get girls aged 12 to 18 excited about motorsport.
Visit the heart of German e-racing and experience the ABB FIA Formula E Championship, which is much more than just a sporting event. Support local talents such as Maximilian Günther and show your support for the domestic manufacturer Porsche as they compete on the historic Tempelhof Airport Circuit. A varied supporting program guarantees entertainment for the whole family and makes the event an unforgettable experience.
