The championship was created in 2023 as an alternative to the FIA-sanctioned Formula Regional European Championship and the Euroformula Open championship, after the latter series struggled to attract entries in late 2022.

The calendar for the 2024 season was announced on 20 November 2023. The race tally remained the same, at 16 races across eight tracks. [25] The series will debut at the Red Bull Ring, at Algarve International Circuit and at Circuit Paul Ricard, while Monza, Estoril and the Circuit Ricardo Tormo did not return to the schedule. [26] As the series shares its promoter with the F4 Spanish Championship, five of the eight rounds are held together with that series. The calendar was slightly amended later on, moving the penultimate round one week back. [27] A one-event winter series separate from the main championship was also held at MotorLand Aragón. After the second race at Spa was cancelled because of bad weather conditions, a third race at Portimão was added to keep the season's race tally at 16. [28]
