Electronic Arts (EA) plans to release a paid expansion for F1 25 in 2026, delaying the next full game until 2027. This decision represents a strategic reset for the F1 Franchise.
The 2026 DLC for F1 25 is described as a premium content update. It will incorporate major changes anticipated for the 2026 F1 season, including new cars, sporting regulations, teams, and drivers. EA states the timing and pricing for this expansion will be announced in 2026.
The full F1 game scheduled for release in 2027 will be a reimagined, deeply authentic, and innovative representation of Formula 1. It is part of a multi-year strategic investment in the EA Sports F1 franchise. This strategy has support from both Formula One Management and the F1 teams. Separately, Apple has secured a multi-year deal to stream F1 races in the United States on Apple TV, beginning next year.
