Calendar

Calendar changes

• The Diriyah ePrix was moved from November to February. It became the first Formula E race held at night.
• The Rome and Sanya ePrix were expected to return to the calendar, as their 2020 races were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Only Rome was actually held, this time as a double-header, while Sanya was once again cancelled, as was the Paris ePrix.
• The Monaco ePrix returned to the calendar, as it is held every 2 years. For the first time, the Grand Prix Circuit was used.
• The Santiago ePrix was to become the first round of the season as a double-header, being held behind closed doors. However, the round was later postponed in December 2020 owing to increased COVID-19 restrictions in the United Kingdom. It was rescheduled to June, still a double-header. The race was eventually cancelled on 22 April 2021.
• The Valencia ePrix made its debut on the calendar, taking place at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, which had previously hosted pre-season testing for Formula E.
• The Seoul ePrix was due to make its debut on the calendar. The race had been included on the provisional 2019–20 calendar, but was cancelled in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event was cancelled again on 22 April 2021.
• The Mexico City ePrix was cancelled in favor of the brand new Puebla ePrix. The event was a double race event at a permanent circuit, the Autódromo Miguel E. Abed in Amozoc de Mota, Puebla, 120 km southeast of Mexico City, as the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez was still being used as a field hospital.
• The New York City ePrix was confirmed to return as it would become a double-header once more. It was meant to become a single race event in 2020, but the race was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• The London ePrix returned to the calendar after a 5-year absence, using a new track layout based in the ExCeL arena. It was originally included on the 2019–20 calendar, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It also became a double race event.
• The Berlin ePrix was confirmed to return and was to be a double-header once more after holding the final 6 races of the 2019–20 season due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Before the event, the format was changed so that the event would use two different layouts, making it two separate events in the process.
