Next EA F1 Game Won't Arrive Until 2027, DLC Only for 2026
- Next year, Electronic Arts announced it will not release a standalone F1 26 and will offer a paid expansion updating teams and rosters, delaying F1 27 for more development time.
- EA framed the change as part of 'a multi-year strategic investment' supported by F1 organizers and teams, following F1 25’s commercial and critical success praised by players and media.

- Pricing and release timing for the paid expansion are currently unknown, while next year US viewers will only be able to watch races on Apple TV+, the sole US rights holder.
- EA says F1 27 will be reimagined and more expansive, promising 'a deeply authentic and innovative representation' with expanded features for players and longtime fans.
