  • The Jakarta ePrix, which debuted in 2022, will become a double-header event.
  • The Marrakesh ePrix will not return for the season as it was part of the 2021–22 calendar to substitute the cancelled Vancouver round.[41]
  • The Cape Town ePrix was set be introduced, after it was originally scheduled to debut in the 2021–22 season, but is now marked as yet to be decided.[42][39]
  • The Paris ePrix was due to return to the calendar after being left out of the 2021–22 calendar due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but has not been included in the first announced schedule.[43]
  • The Vancouver ePrix was planned to be introduced, however its contract was terminated on 18 June 2022.[44]
