F1 25 Season Pack 2026 to Add Audi, Cadillac and Madrid Circuit in June

EA Sports will release the F1 25 Season Pack 2026 on June 3, adding new teams, updated cars and the Circuito de Madring in Madrid.

EA Sports has officially announced the F1 25 Season Pack 2026, which will launch on June 3, 2026 with updated teams, cars and drivers from the new Formula 1 season. The expansion will also introduce the new Circuito de Madring street circuit in Madrid, although the track will only be available for use with the 2026 cars.

The new content replaces a standalone F1 26 release after Codemasters confirmed last year that no separate annual title would be produced for the 2026 season. The decision comes as Formula 1 enters a major regulatory shift with redesigned cars, revised power units and new race systems.

New Teams and Updated Driver Lineups

The Season Pack 2026 adds Cadillac as the 11th team on the grid, while Audi takes over the former Sauber Motorsport operation. Driver lineups have also been updated to reflect the 2026 season, including Arvid Lindblad joining Racing Bulls and the returns of Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Pérez with Cadillac.

Codemasters said fictional teams such as Konnersport and APXGP will no longer be available in My Team and Driver Career modes when using the 2026 season content. Some vehicle models will also miss the launch version of the pack and are planned to arrive later through updates.

Madrid Street Circuit Joins the Calendar

The 2026 Formula 1 calendar expands to 24 races with the addition of the Madrid street circuit. The approximately 5.5-kilometer track features 22 corners and stretches between central Madrid and the city’s airport using a mix of permanent and temporary sections.

However, Codemasters confirmed the track can only be raced with the new 2026 cars. The developer has not explained why older vehicles will not be compatible with the circuit.

Technical Changes Reflect New Regulations

The updated Formula 1 cars are smaller and lighter under the 2026 regulations, while electric power plays a much larger role in the hybrid systems. The traditional ERS and DRS systems are replaced by the new Overtake Mode and Boost Mode.

EA Sports has not yet detailed how all gameplay mechanics will function in the DLC, but active aerodynamics and deployable front and rear wing systems have been highlighted in promotional material. New driving assists will also be available for players who prefer simplified controls.

EA Sports plans to release a dedicated deep-dive presentation for the expansion on May 26 at 1700 local time to showcase additional gameplay features and technical details.
