The E1 World Championship closes its 2026 season on Biscayne Bay on Friday, November 13, and Saturday, November 14, at the Miami Seaplane Base, the historic seaplane terminal on the bay. Qualifying runs November 11 and 12, and the race days bring the season's final rounds to the water with the Miami skyline behind the course. Ten teams race all-electric RaceBird powerboats, and the venue opens at 10 in the morning each race day, with group stages, finals and a podium ceremony through the afternoon.

A race weekend that belongs to the bay

The event is the first double-header season finale the championship has held in the United States, and it turns the water between the seaplane base and the skyline into a grandstand. Spectators watch from the venue along the bay, and the electric boats make their passes with a fraction of the noise of traditional powerboat racing, which keeps the atmosphere closer to a festival than a roar. It is a short drive from Homestead, Pinecrest and Cutler Bay, and an easy way to spend a November afternoon outdoors on the water.

A new kind of motorsport, close to home

For families curious about where Miami is heading, the E1 weekend is a look at clean technology racing on the bay, with the city as the backdrop. General admission tickets are sold for one day or both days through the championship's site, and premium hospitality is available at the E1 Ocean Club at the venue. Bring sunscreen and a hat, arrive early for the group stages, and let the afternoon introduce the bay the way locals know it.
