Following a five-week break, Formula E is back this weekend for the seventh and eighth rounds of the 2026 season — the Berlin E-Prix double-header.
As always, the Berlin races will be held at the historic Tempelhof Airport Circuit, the only venue in Formula E history to have featured on every calendar since the first season.
The double-header this weekend will represent the 23rd and 24th races to have taken place at Tempelhof, a former airport in the German capital that closed in 2018.
It is a sold-out event for 2026, with many eyes on home hero Pascal Wehrlein, who leads the drivers' championship by 11 points over Edoardo Mortara. German giants Porsche also top the teams' and constructors' standings, but Jaguar is right behind them.
Jaguar is very much the team in form following a one-two in Madrid last time out, with three of the last four races having been won by either António Félix da Costa or Mitch Evans. Crucially, both races in Berlin last year were won by Jaguar.
On Friday, May 1, the first free practice session begins at 15:00 BST, before second practice on Saturday, May 2 at 08:30 BST.
Qualifying for the first race of the weekend follows FP2 at 10:40 BST, before the race — the seventh round of the season — starts at 15:00 BST.
On Sunday, May 3, third practice, qualifying for the second race of the weekend, and then the race itself follow the same schedule as the day before.
