The Saudi Arabian round was previously held in Diriyah six times from 2018 to 2024, as the first Formula E event held in the Middle East. In September 2024, it was confirmed that the race would be moved to Jeddah in 2025.
Circuit
The race will be held at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Jeddah, the same venue used by the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Formula One. The track layout for the Formula E ePrix has not yet been finalized, however from initial renderings the circuit is set to be shortened to 3.001 km, with the addition of a hairpin connecting Turn 3 to Turn 22 on the F1 layout, and four chicanes placed on the front and back straightaways.[2]
