The 2026 Madrid ePrix, known for sponsorship reasons as the 2026 CUPRA Raval Madrid E-Prix was a race of the single-seater, electrically powered Formula E championship, held at the Circuito del Jarama in Madrid, Spain on 21 March 2026. It was the first ePrix held in Spain since the 2021 Valencia ePrix. It marked as the inaugural Madrid ePrix, and the sixth round of the 2025-26 season.[1]
Background
Following the fourth and fifth rounds in Jeddah, Pascal Wehrlein leads the championship at 68 points. Edoardo Mortara is second, 6 points behind, and Oliver Rowland is third, 19 points behind.
Circuit
The space for the chicane was made specifically for Formula E, with additional concrete being laid on track sometime in February, already being completed before the 2026 Eurocup-3 Spanish Winter Championship arrived there on 27 February. An additional grand stand was also added in early March to accommodate for the expected crowd at the inaugural race.[2]
