F1 25 announces 2026 Season Edition and Season Pack
EA has announced the F1 25: 2026 Season Edition and a separate 2026 Season Pack for existing owners, adding 2026 rules and regulations, the new Overtake mode, Audi and Cadillac in My Team, and the new MADRING circuit restricted to 2026 cars.
We’ve got a new F1 25 content announcement: EA says the 2026 Season Edition is out now, bundling the base game with the 2026 Season Pack, while existing owners can buy the pack separately. The official announcement also frames this update around the 2026 Formula 1 ruleset and new gameplay systems. Full details are in the official release post.
What changed
Features
- The F1 25: 2026 Season Edition is available now and includes F1 25 plus the 2026 Season Pack.
- Existing F1 25 owners can access the new content through the 2026 Season Pack.
- EA says the update brings the 2026 rules and regulations.
- A new Overtake mode is included as part of the 2026-era gameplay changes.
Cars
- In My Team, players can become the 12th team on the grid.
- Audi and Cadillac are listed as new teams available in My Team.
- The announcement also points to Career mode continuing with championship progression.
- MADRING can only be driven with 2026 cars.
Tracks
- EA highlights five LIDAR circuits with millimetre-precision scanning.
- MADRING is added as the first new F1 circuit since 2023.
- MADRING is available only in the F1 25: 2026 Season Pack.
- The post also notes that access to some content requires internet connection, game updates, and an EA Account, and that the F2 2026 season update also depends on updates and connectivity.
For league ops, we should verify pack ownership across the grid, update event rules for the 2026 regulations and Overtake mode, and avoid scheduling MADRING unless the championship is locked to 2026 cars.
