After making a historic debut on the Lagos waterways in October 2025, the E1 Series, the world’s first all-electric raceboat championship, is set to return to Nigeria for a second successive year.

Lagos will once again welcome the world’s fastest electric raceboats as part of the newly unveiled 2026 global calendar, which stretches across four continents.

The E1 Championship first launched in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and Lagos became the first African host city in 2025, delivering a record-breaking spectacle that saw Team Brazil claim their first-ever E1 victory at the Lagos Grand Prix.

Earlier this month in Miami, Team Brady, owned by NFL legend Tom Brady, sealed their second consecutive E1 world title, signaling the sport’s growing competitiveness and fan base.

Now, the championship is gearing up for an even bigger third season, and Lagos has cemented its place on the calendar.

Lagos is scheduled to host the sixth race of the season from October 3 to 4, 2026, as part of a tour that begins in Jeddah in January before moving to Lake Como, Italy, Dubrovnik, Croatia, and Monaco by mid-July.

After the European leg, the series returns to Africa with its highly anticipated stop in Lagos, which previously delivered one of the biggest crowds and most electrifying atmospheres in E1 history.

The final stretch of the season will take the championship to North America, with Miami staging the penultimate round, before the E1 Series heads to The Bahamas for its first-ever Caribbean finale — a location chosen for its vibrant ocean culture and strong sustainability ethos.

Founder Alejandro Agag and CEO Rodi Basso emphasised that the 2026 season reflects E1’s continued commitment to merging elite sport with environmental stewardship.

Agag noted that the new calendar highlights the series’ ambition to expand its global footprint while showcasing the future of electric marine technology.

With Lagos preparing to welcome the world once again, the city has firmly positioned itself as a rising hub for international motorsport and sustainable innovation on water.
