After three years of competing in the series, the McLaren Formula E Team confirmed it would not return to the championship for the 2025–26 season to focus on its LMDh project in the World Endurance Championship. [22] The team did not find a buyer and is expected to shut down. [23]
Citroën announced they would be joining Formula E in the 2025–26 season, as Stellantis replaced Maserati MSG Racing, which had competed in the series for 3 years, with the Citroën brand. [24] This marks the marque's debut in top-level single-seater racing. [25]
TAG Heuer ended their partnership with Porsche after being their title sponsor for six seasons. [26]
Envision Racing and Robin Frijns parted ways at the end of the 2024–25 season, following six seasons together across two spells. [27] To replace Frijns, the team signed Jaguar's reserve driver Joel Eriksson, who entered ten Formula E races in 2021 and 2024, for his full-season debut. [11]
Taylor Barnard, who finished fourth in his debut season with McLaren, moved to DS Penske, replacing Jean-Éric Vergne, who ended his affiliation with the DS Automobiles brand after eight seasons. [7] Vergne moved over to newly entered Stellantis sister brand Citroën, where he was joined by season eleven runner-up Nick Cassidy, who departed Jaguar TCS Racing after two seasons with the team. [28] [15] Former champion Stoffel Vandoorne left Maserati MSG to become Jaguar's reserve driver. [29] This left Jake Hughes without a seat.
António Félix da Costa departed the Porsche Formula E Team after three seasons as he moves to Jaguar TCS Racing to replace Citroën-bound Cassidy. [30] [9] The team signed Nico Müller, who departed Andretti after a single season with the American team, where he finished 15th in the standings. [31] [18] To replace Müller, Andretti signed 2022 Formula 2 Champion Felipe Drugovich for his full-season debut after he made a one-round appearance in the 2024–25 season with Mahindra Racing. [32]
David Beckmann left Cupra Kiro after a season with the team. [33] He was replaced by former Red Bull junior driver Pepe Martí, who graduates from Formula 2, where he drove for Campos Racing. [5]
Departing team McLaren saw Taylor Barnard move to DS Penske, while Sam Bird left the series after having taken part in every season since the championship's inauguration. [7]

The format used in qualifying has been slightly altered, with the two group stage sessions shortened from twelve to ten minutes each. The requirement for every driver to set a laptime in the first half of group qualifying has also been removed. [34]
Races including a mandatory pit boost stop will now require drivers to only take attack mode once instead of twice. [34]
