The season will kick off with a night race in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia in January next year, before heading to Mexico City in Mexico, Cape Town, China, Rome in Italy, Monaco, Berlin in Germany, Vancouver, New York in USA, and London in UK, before concluding with a double-header in Seoul in August 2022.

A host for round nine of the series is yet to be confirmed.

The Monaco race is set to switch from a biannual to an annual event, while Paris will return in 2023, after a two-year absence caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and become a biannual event.

Alberto Longo, co-founder and chief championship officer at Formula E, said: “In Formula E’s short history, we have always looked to grow the championship and our reach. Next season is set to be another landmark for the series with a record number off races and incredible new cities backing Formula E and our electric movement.
