EA Pauses Annual F1 Series, Plans 2026 Season as Paid F1 25 Expansion

EA calls the one-year pause a strategic reset to lay groundwork for a reimagined F1 27.

Overview

  • The paid add-on will update F1 25 to the 2026 season with new cars, teams, drivers and sporting regulations.
  • EA has not announced pricing or a release date for the expansion.
  • EA targets 2027 for the next full entry, describing it as a reimagined, more expansive experience built with F1 and all eleven teams.
  • It will be the first year without a new major-platform F1 game since Codemasters took over the license in 2009.
  • RaceFans reports the 2026 DLC is expected to include Cadillac’s arrival for a 22-car grid but may omit Spain’s new Madring circuit.
