Extreme H Returns to Qiddiya City: Dates Confirmed for the Second FIA Extreme H World Cup

May 16, 2026

Extreme H is excited to announce the official dates for the second instalment of the FIA Extreme H World Cup. Returning to Qiddiya City in Saudi Arabia, the race will run from 29 to 31 October 2026.

As the world’s first and only hydrogen-powered motorsport World Cup, Extreme H is thrilled to return to its flagship location at Qiddiya City – Saudi Arabia’s visionary “City of Play” and one of the world’s most ambitious entertainment, sports and cultural destinations. Both organisations are united by a shared commitment to redefining the future of sport and entertainment through technology, experiences, and sustainability.

“The inaugural FIA Extreme H World Cup was proof that we could combine the raw ferocity of world-class motor sport with a future powered by clean energy,” said Alejandro Agag, Founder and Chairman of Extreme H. “This second chapter, together with the FIA, our partners and the support of our host Qiddiya City, is about accelerating that vision as we continue to redefine the limits of what’s possible, for our pioneering technologies and our boundary-breaking drivers.”

Extreme H’s return coincides with an extraordinary moment in Qiddiya City’s development. The race takes place against the backdrop of one of the most ambitious new global destinations; a city rising from the Saudi desert that is already welcoming the world. Six Flags Qiddiya City opened its gates to its first guests in December 2025, with the Middle East’s largest water theme park, Aquarabia recently following suit. Meanwhile, work continues at pace on the revolutionary Speed Park Track, an F1-grade circuit that will be one of the most technically extraordinary motorsport venues ever built, along with the Sir Nick Faldo signature-designed 18-hole championship golf course that will open later this year.

Full details of the competing teams and driver pairings will be confirmed in the coming months as Extreme H prepares to deliver another round of thrilling off-road racing.
