F1 25 and the 2026 Season Pack: The Official F1 Game Plan, Explained

No F1 26 this year. EA and Codemasters turned F1 25 into a two-season game and promised a reimagined title for 2027.

For the first time in 17 years, the official Formula 1 game did not get a new numbered edition. Instead of F1 26, EA Sports and Codemasters turned F1 25 into a two-season game: the 2025 original plus a paid 2026 Season Pack. Here is what has been released, what has been announced and what to buy, checked against EA's official channels as of 1 November 2026.

F1 25: the base game

F1 25 launched on 30 May 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. It brought back the Braking Point story mode, rebuilt My Team around the player as team owner and added the fictional APXGP squad from the F1 film starring Brad Pitt. It remains the base for everything that followed.

The 2026 Season Pack

  • Release: 3 June 2026, as an expansion for owners of F1 25, or bundled with the base game as F1 25: 2026 Season Edition.
  • New rules: lighter cars with active aerodynamics, adjustable front and rear wings, and an Overtake Mode that players choose when to deploy.
  • New grid: eleven teams, including Cadillac with Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Pérez, and Audi; your My Team becomes the twelfth.
  • New track: Madring in Madrid, a 5.4 km, 22-corner hybrid street circuit and the first new venue in the series since 2023.
  • Modes: Driver Career, My Team, Grand Prix, Time Trial, split-screen and unranked multiplayer get the 2026 season; 2025 career saves and custom teams do not carry over.

What comes next

On 18 November 2025, EA said the next full F1 game will arrive in 2027, reimagined into a more expansive experience and backed by a multi-year investment agreed with Formula 1. No title, platforms or date have been announced, so treat anything more specific as rumour until EA confirms it.

A new regulation era deserves more than a roster update; EA is betting that one extra year buys a better game.

Who should buy what

  • You already own F1 25: the Season Pack is the way to drive the 2026 cars without buying a new game.
  • New to the series: the Season Edition gives you both seasons in one purchase.
  • Wheel owners: handling was tuned for both controllers and wheels, but budget time to rework force-feedback settings for the lighter cars.
  • Career players: plan for a fresh start, as 2025 saves do not transfer to the new season.

The decision makes sense for fans of the sport: 2026 is the biggest rule change in years, with new power units, new teams and a new circuit, and the game now mirrors it. If you want the real grid of 2026 in your living room, F1 25 with the Season Pack is the official way; if you can wait, 2027 is when EA promises the next big step.

Key takeaways

  • There is no F1 26: EA added the 2026 season to F1 25 as a paid expansion.
  • The 2026 Season Pack launched on 3 June 2026 with active aero, Overtake Mode, Cadillac and Audi.
  • Madring in Madrid is the series' first new circuit since 2023.
  • EA has confirmed a reimagined full F1 game for 2027, with no date or platforms yet.
