Everything on the line as Formula E Season ends in London

After months of drama, the 2025/26 Formula E season is set for a thrilling conclusion this August, with all roads leading to London for the final race weekend at the ExCel centre.

Unique to the Formula E calendar, the London E-Prix features both indoor and outdoor racing sections, creating one of the championship's most demanding challenges as drivers juggle speed, energy management and strategy on a highly technical circuit.

That challenge will be faced by a strong field led by British favourites Oliver Rowland, Jake Dennis, Taylor Barnard and Dan Ticktum, who will all be looking to deliver standout performances in front of a home crowd as the season reaches its thrilling conclusion.

You can catch every moment of the action on ITVX (Apps > ITVX) on your V6, Virgin 360 or Stream box, with live race coverage also airing on ITV4 HD (CH 118). Read on for everything you need to know ahead of Formula E's London showdown.

The 2025/26 Formula E campaign has been packed with memorable moments, from dramatic season-opening incidents to record-breaking performances.

Jake Dennis got the season underway with victory in São Paulo after a chaotic race that featured a late red flag, while Nick Cassidy delivered Citroën Racing's first Formula E win in Mexico City.

As the season progressed, the history books continued to be rewritten. Pascal Wehrlein celebrated his 100th Formula E start with victory in Jeddah, while Mitch Evans charged from 17th on the grid to win in Berlin and become the most successful race winner in Formula E history with 16 victories.

The championship has also showcased the depth of talent across the grid, with multiple drivers reaching the top step of the podium throughout the season.

Nyck de Vries returned Mahindra to winning ways in Monaco, Oliver Rowland thrilled fans with a brilliant charge from eighth on the grid to victory on the same weekend, and several races have been shaped by bold Attack Mode strategies, Safety Cars and dramatic late-race twists.  

Adding to the sense of occasion, Formula E's 2025/26 calendar is itself a landmark one, featuring a record number of races before the championship heads into the new GEN4 era next season.

Now, after months of all-electric action across some of the world's most iconic circuits, everything comes down to London, where the season-ending double-header will bring another thrilling Formula E campaign to a close.

Britain's defending champion Oliver Rowland will be hoping to end the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship on a high at his home race in London.

The Nissan driver has once again been among the season's standout performers, while fellow Britons Jake Dennis (Andretti), Taylor Barnard (DS Penske) and Dan Ticktum (Cupra Kiro) will all be eager to impress in front of a home crowd. They will face stiff competition from Porsche's Pascal Wehrlein and Citroën Racing's Nick Cassidy, two drivers who have consistently challenged at the front throughout the campaign.

As always in Formula E, strategy could prove decisive. Drivers must carefully manage their available energy while making the most of Attack Mode boosts, and the close confines of the ExCeL circuit mean that a perfectly timed activation can make the difference between victory and settling for the lower steps of the podium.

Safety Cars and Full Course Yellow periods can also dramatically transform the order, rewarding teams that react quickest to changing circumstances.

The London track is renowned for producing unpredictable racing. Its narrow layout leaves little room for error, while the transition between the indoor exhibition halls and the outdoor dockside sections creates constantly changing conditions throughout the lap. Overtaking opportunities are limited, making qualifying and race strategy more important than ever.

For British fans, there will be plenty of home interest throughout the weekend. Former Formula E champion Jake Dennis has enjoyed success in the series before and will be looking to challenge for victory, while Taylor Barnard continues to establish himself as one of the sport's brightest young talents.

Dan Ticktum, meanwhile, will be aiming to finish his season strongly after showing flashes of impressive pace throughout the campaign.

Beyond the action on track, the London E-Prix is expected to deliver the electric atmosphere that has made it one of the highlights of the Formula E calendar. With championship positions, team pride and home support all at stake, the final race of the season promises a fitting conclusion to another fiercely competitive year of all-electric racing.

The whole weekend's racing is available live for all V6, Virgin TV 360 and Stream customers, and is a double-header weekend for motorsport fans. Catch every practice session, qualifying battle and race live on ITV4 HD (CH 118) or ITVX (Apps > ITVX) as Formula E returns to ExCeL London for the final two rounds of the 2025/26 season.
