First night race double-header for Formula E in Tokyo

The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship heads towards its penultimate race weekend of the 2025/26 season, concluding its Asian triple-header of events at the 2026 TDK Tokyo E-Prix.

The 2026 TDK Tokyo E-Prix marks the penultimate race weekend of the 2025/26 season, and with nine points separating the lead of the driver standings, and just six between the teams title, the stakes have never been higher. All eyes will be on Pascal Wehrlein, who snatched the championship lead from Mitch Evans during a tense battle in Shanghai, and boasts proven success in Tokyo after finishing second there last time out.

Mitch Evans sits in second overall

The GEN3 Evo will have its last outing in Asia, taking on the masterfully engineered 2.58-kmm Tokyo Street Circuit. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Tokyo Bay waterfront, the circuit’s 18-turns create a highly technical, compact layout to challenge drivers, winding around the iconic Tokyo Big Sight convention centre.

For the first time on the streets of Japan, both rounds of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will be night races, with races starting at 20:00 local time. This landmark event will see the pinnacle of electric racing shine under the lights of the iconic Tokyo Big Sight, significantly elevating the spectacle of all-electric motorsport in the city.

The collaboration between Formula E and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) serves as a major pillar of the city’s Zero Emission Tokyo strategy and its Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) campaign. By hosting their third E-Prix, Tokyo leverages a high-profile, global platform to fast-track its broader climate action plan, which aims to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050.
