In a week the Formula E 2023 series will be over, with proceedings wrapping up with the two-day London ePrix this weekend on Saturday, July 29 and Sunday, July 30. After that, there will be no more league races this year.
Date: July 29, 30
Name: London ePrix
Location: ExCeL London
With a wide swathe of racers grabbing gold in various Formula E events, the London ePrix will be the last chance for any racers looking to give themselves a strong foot forward in the standings.
The Formula E 2023 races have seen a big range of winners, unlike F1 which has been dominated by one team, so the overall season victor could still be dictated by Rome.
As Formula 1's all-electric counterpart, Formula E puts electric cars at the front, making for a more eco-friendly and futuristic tournament. With technology coming on leaps and bounds, it's also a rapidly-improving tournament.
The Formula E 2023 season is much anticipated, as it marks the arrival of both McLaren and Maserati into the league for the first time, with the former replacing Mercedes. Plus, some big rule changes (detailed below) could lead to quite a different sport.
If you're interested in watching Formula E, this guide will help you, both for the upcoming ePrix and for the tournament as a whole. If you're away from home a VPN is always an option to watch Formula E. We recommend ExpressVPN.

Are there any changes for Formula E 2023?
There are a few things that set the Formula E 2023 season apart from the other ones.
The main upgrade is the introduction of the Gen3 Race Car Standard, which has a higher max speed, more powerful engine, more energy-efficient build (including regenerative braking to recharge the battery) and quicker charging speeds for shorter breaks in a race.
You can read more about the Gen3 Race Car from Formula E's website here.
Another major change is that the format of each race is shifting from time-based to laps-based.
Quite a few of the locations have changed with São Paulo, Hyderabad and Cape Town joining the lineup but Seoul, Brooklyn and Marrakesh leaving.
