The proposed 17-race schedule was permitted at a gathering of the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council on Tuesday, with 11 locations set to be visited by the all-electric championship.
The Homestead-Miami Speedway, which has hosted NASCAR and IMSA races, will turn into the fifth completely different venue used for a Method E race within the US after earlier visits to a purpose-built Miami circuit, in addition to Lengthy Seashore, New York and, most just lately, Portland.
The American race will probably be held on 12 April and happen on the vast majority of Homestead’s infield street course part in addition to probably a part of the oval.
“We expect it’s a very good circuit, well-suited to our model of racing,” Method E CEO Jeff Dodds instructed Autosport.
“The Miami title that comes with it, from a world tv viewers, the Miami title is a giant draw, maybe an even bigger draw than cities akin to Portland.”
One other new venue on the calendar is ready to come back a month earlier on 8 March, though it at the moment stays listed as a TBD having not been formally confirmed by Method E, though Autosport understands this to be an inaugural race in Thailand.
The season is because of get underway in Sao Paulo on 7 December, marking the primary time because the 2019-20 version that races in a marketing campaign will unfold throughout two calendar years.
This will probably be adopted by Mexico Metropolis (11 January) and a pair of races in Saudi Arabia, though the precise location of the place these races will probably be held has but to be finalised on 14-15 February.

Each Monaco and Tokyo, the latter a brand new location on the calendar this season, are set to carry double-header occasions for the primary time on 3-4 Could and 17-18 Could respectively.
After the inaugural races in Shanghai this time period, Method E will return for 2 races once more on 31 Could-1 June, earlier than returning to Indonesia after a one-year break to race in Jakarta (21 June).
The season ends with two races in each Berlin (12-13 July) and London (26-27 July), however the former is anticipated to once more conflict with one other spherical of the World Endurance Championship because it has in 2024.
Notably absent from the calendar is a race in Italy, with the Misano World Circuit having been dropped after only one 12 months.
“Sticking to our DNA viewpoint, three-quarters of our races will probably be on constructed circuits or avenue circuits,” added Dodds.
“It’s an actual combination of outdated favourites. A lot of the suggestions we get from groups, producers, from followers, is this type of need for hardcore calendar continuity.”
