Season 7 - 2020/2021 and beyond
After six seasons of racing on the streets of the world's most progressive cities, Formula E gained World Championship status, a move granted by the FIA - motorsport's governing body in December 2019.
“It was always our ambition to one day become an FIA World Championship. Everything we have done and delivered to this point has been working towards this particular moment," said Formula E founder and chairman Alejandro Agag at the time.
"This truly puts Formula E in the top tier of international single-seater racing. It has been a tremendous effort from many people involved and none of it would have been possible without the support of FIA President Jean Todt and the federation, as well as the dedication and commitment shown by our teams and partners.
"Now we can say we have done it. But it is only the beginning of a new chapter under the banner of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.”

“The creation and development of Formula E has been a great adventure. I am proud that today we confirm its FIA world championship status," added FIA President Jean Todt.
"Since we started this journey, Formula E has undoubtedly gone from strength to strength. Within a short timeframe, the series has proven itself relevant for the automotive industry.
“The commitment and professionalism of those manufacturers and their respective teams is mirrored in the quality of the driver roster, which has improved with every season.”
The moment will see the series recognised as the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship from the start of the 2020/21 season, as the most competitive line-up of world-class teams and manufacturers continue their battle on the streets to advance the adoption of sustainable mobility in the race for a better, cleaner future.
