Watopia is available every day while the other maps rotate as “Guest Worlds” according to the calendar below. This gives Zwifters access to three worlds (Watopia + two guest worlds) at any given time.

Thank you for zwift what a great thing I have only been doing it since october – winter here and I just would not get much cycling in if it wasnt for this set up brilliant – some very clever and committed people about- I wish the sprints were a bit clearer I miss most if them some times the leadees help out and identify when they are coming up – nevertheless a great experience – I am 70 my wife bought me my set up for my birthday and I get so much pleasure out of it I am… Read more »
I’ve been on Zwift for 3 years and it has really, really helped me up my game. It’s really evolved a lot since I started and, in my opinion, all for the good. Variety of courses for different levels of interest and ability, different events, etc. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
You’re right about the sprints – and the KOMs, too. I really wish that the course map in the upper right of the screen showed the beginning and end of the sprints. Depending on the zoom level, this would really allow you to better anticipate them.
@charles rogers and @stephen murray: I’m so glad you mentioned this. I thought I was missing the starts of the sprints, etc because I’m new.
they actually do show up coming KOM and sprints. They are colored dots on the under side of the map. Not sure if I am explaining correctly but there are heads up on that map. Also on the left the KOM and sprint challenge shows up well in advance on the challenge

Nice to see Innsbruck have a few days but I do wish Richmond would get more days! I know many people don’t seem to like it but it is my favourite map and always look forward to it coming around.
Use the world hack Ryan. I use it every day to ride in my favourite worlds. I rode in Innsbruck today with just 2 other people. https://zwiftinsider.com/world-tag/
I really do not like Richmond
You can do Innsbruck any day you want with meetups now. Have a meetup just for yourself. Have to invite one other but they don’t need to actually join. Lutcher is actually shorter as a meetup too I believe, you eliminate the lead-in.
With the new meetup feature I don’t even bother to look at the world calendar much anymore.
Many thanks Shayne. This is a cracking tip! I hadn’t realised this – just successfully set up a meet for Luther this evening which is what I wanted to ride today!
Richmond is available on 14 of 31 days, shouldn’t this be enough?
Sorry, I didn’t notice that Ryan’s post was 5 months old.
Happy New Year Eric. I like the new look and feel of the comments section.
The course changeover seems to be happening at 20:00 (i.e. 8:00 PM) PST, not 21:00 as stated above. Am I missing something?
You’re not! I noticed this as well a couple weeks ago, and forgot to update this post. All set now.
The Cumbria weather has been atrocious and Zwift has been our saviour through winter. My husband is 79 and I am 73 but we still do 100 miles a week. We don’t race any more but can’t help it on Zwift. If we can’t get out on the roads we think, ‘good ol d Zwift’ . Good old Watopia. Joyce
Shame Bologna isn’t in the rota. They should plug it into Watopia. Or have a ‘UCI world’: Richmond + Yorkshire + Bologna (although I think Bologna was a stage of a Grand Tour, not a World Championship)
I would love them to do something to combine this shorter worlds into one. I think the problem with that, is that the real world courses use real world GPS data, and I imagine they would want that to still be the case. London has an anomaly in that the Surrey Hills section is shown overlaid on part of the city itself rather than warping across the countryside … not quite so easy if you are moving from Innsbruck to Yorkshire. That said, making the routes from all the UCI courses available on the same day, using World Champs as… Read more »
Totally agree that bologna would be nice to ride now and then outside of events. Lots of richmond = lots of fast draft riding! I’ll always have a soft spot for Richmond as it was the first time we could get off the island.
I enjoy Bologna too! That’s why I watch out for it on the events section (up to a week in advance) on the companion app.
What eight days of Richmond, have we upset the zwift gods
I love the Richmond course its awesome but maybe its because thats where I live:)
I must agree. Richmond is the most boring course. What the heck is going on ?
Nice new look Eric.
I like the calendar, but it would be nice to copy and save the guest calendar so it can be printed out or saved in my iphone pictures for each month.
Go to this website on your computer and use the snipping tool to take a screenshot of the calendar and then save the picture to your phone or print it out or whatever
…or just take a picture of it with your phone. 🙂
You can do a screen shot
Its about time enough of New York and London. Cant wait for spring though to be outside
This is the beat schedule I’ve seen sincethey started doing the monthly schedule! Thank you for listening zwift!!!!
I am liking the better balance of guest worlds for February. I quite like NYC and London, but have been finding it frustrating having the UCI courses avaiable on so few days … particularly Yorkshire, which is just down the road from me in the real world.
My guess is that they will let you go on the reverse direction in Richmond.
When are we going to get Bologna as a consistent option?
Probably never. At 8km, it’s too short to hold several thousand riders at once without being one long conga line.
Do you think that they might expand it like they did with London? I could see a nice trip out to the Italian countryside. 🙂
Maybe there is going to be an expansion of the Richmond course. That is the only thing that seams to follows the normal Zwift pattern.
Could be nice if there is something near Richmond…
I suggest they add on to Bologna first as it could include vineyards!
But I’m not as familiar with what they could add that would be interesting near Richmond…
I still hope they add another larger world like London (may Japan?)
or expand Watopia again…
Expanding Watopia because of the many routes
or even London? with a road up to Aberdeen?
The Feb 2020 calendar may be the most balanced amongst the different worlds that I have ever seen! And I love that each of the weekends is split between two different worlds.
Could the # of Richmond days just be due to TdZ? Original days plus makeups falling in same month?
Worst calendar ever; London (guest world with longer routes) by the weekend only today for the whole month! I have time to ride longer routes, around 2 hours or more (Surrey Hill, PRL’s, Pretzel, etc) only by the weekend, as most people would i guess. Being stuck with all the UCI circuits (non even a single NY!!!) all weekends is a disaster, also because to ride multiple routes you have to save and restart game…yes there’s always Watopia, but non being able to ride NY and only a single LDN weekend is not acceptable. Hope they’ll roll out a new… Read more »
Eric, isn’t there a way to get future calendars? I’m sure you’ve asked zwift already, but what’s the reason they don’t announce it earlier than on the 1st of the month?
No offense, but archived calendars are pretty useless.
Zwift doesn’t have future calendars planned–they have certain dates planned, for sure, but often the full calendar isn’t set until the final days of the month.
I’m new to Zwift but you can already count me as one of those who isn’t a fan of the Richmond course. Very bland. Once I get my last badge from there then no need for me to go back…off to Watopia on those days I guess.
Go where you want, when you want:

I am japanese and 65 years old.
Japanese roads are narrow and not a good environment for bicycles.
Zwift provides a safe and comfortable environment.
I ride every day for good health.
Could be good…if you could ride without cars!
Finally, no New York overload!!! NY is the worst; I always choose Watopia on those days.
Hey Eric, I am sure you have asked zwift already, but why is there no possibility to look into the next month? Especially when you are at the end of the month it would be nice to know what’s coming on the first of the following month
It is of no real consequence to anything, but, for me, the calendar is always showing a red mark on yesterday’s date (i.e. as of right now the 11th of February is marked in red) and I would assume the red mark is there to indicate the current date/course. Obviously being in the UK the course changes partway through the day rather than when the date changes, but as the changeover happens at 8pm PST the changeover should happen at 4am UK time … which was almost 7 hours ago.
What gives?
Hey Eric Quick question. On the Companion App, when people leave you a comment, HOW do you leave one back to that particular person from the screen They where left me a message without having to leave a reply in my own screen, then click on their name an re type it in their screen which is in one of there random screens/ rides? I hope you understand that lol. Kinda hard to explain. My hubby will leave me a message then I reply on my screen and he gets nothing UNLESS I go to his screen personally. Just wandered… Read more »
This schedule is fantastic and enabled me to plan Feb. Do you know if there will be a March schedule as well? Looking forward to plan for more adventures :-). Thank you for your great work! Best Regards Maria
Why is it that the last few ‘new’ calendar posts show the current, not the next month?
Click the little arrows to the right or left of the month name to go to the next month. The page always loads the current month by default. Here’s March: https://zwiftinsider.com/schedule/?month=mar&yr=2020
March is empty for me? Both on laptop and mobile
Should be fixed now. Issue on our end!
Only a month on from the Richmond refresh and we’re back to the London/NY heavy scheduling, with a meager 3 days of Richmond. I get that there are not a ton of different routes in Richmond, Innsbruck, and Yorkshire, but the other two don’t really have a ton of roads, either. And NY often just feels like two routes: ground or air. I would love to see a more balanced mix.

Why so many NY days it’s horrible this am there were 6k people in Watopia and 2k in NY. I wish the hack to get in whatever world you want exists in Apple TV. I get the social aspect but that should be a choice of the rider
If you have an iphone you can use the companion app with the apple TV!

No idea why Zwift relies so heavily on London and New York. Both courses are very poor compared with the alternatives. New York is a terrible ride experience with little authenticity and London, although better, looks very dated and completely lacks any atmosphere.
London and NY are by far the biggest two worlds after Watopia. If they ran two small worlds at the same time, people would complain that there’s nowhere to go and that you’re riding in a constant stream of cycle traffic.
Please open up all courses the two are packed with 14k plus people
You’ll need to tell that to Zwift – I just run a fansite!
Excellent site, I use it for finding all the information regarding Zwift. Well done
When does the following month’s schedule usually come out Eric?
great site by the way. Always point Zwift newbies here whenever they ask about it.
Lately it’s been out on the last day of the month! We’ll see this week…
Thanks for sending people our way!
A day early 😉
This is an April Fool’s calendar, right? 30 days in the month, with 16 of them being London, 11 for New York, and only 1, each, for Innsbruck, Richmond, and Yorkshire? Or is this, perhaps, the hint of a new world coming out in an update and replacing many of those London days?
My guess is Zwift is avoiding the smaller maps because of all the users these days. Yorkshire is going to feel pretty right with 10-15,000 Zwifters on it.
Dear all, I am rather new on Zwift and most likely I am to stupid to understand some things, so your help would be great. I am currently level 11. I would love to train on the mountains and by that ride 2 or three times Alp du Zwift per week. Everytime I open Zwift and check the available courses I cannot find this route. This is annoying as with the corona virus situation no outside cycling is possible. Do I do sth wrong? How can I ride up Alp de Zwift? Maybe if there are restrictions on it they… Read more »
Welcome to Zwift Juergen… Good news, you will be able to ride Alpe du Zwift… the restrictions have recently been lowered so, at level 11, you will be able to ride the Alpe.
Odd: logged on this morning expecting to see Yorkshire, as was posted on the Zwift in-game schedule yesterday, but this morning it was New York. Why?
I’m guessing that Eric’s response to my question about the April calendar has hit the nail on the head: Lots of people using Zwift right now, and Yorkshire has a very limited amount of virtual tarmac. It looks like April, overall, will be avoiding the smaller three worlds in order to spread people out as much as they can. A third world option would be nice at the moment, but I’m guessing that would require a UI change that no one has been working on (yet).
I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth Zwift switching over to 3 worlds on the go at once.
Watopia permanently, then London/New York as the “big guest world”, then rotate Yorkshire/Innsbruck/Richmond as the “small guest/World Champs world”.
As let’s face it, there are 3 distinct tiers of “general use” world in terms of size, route variety etc, why not have the rotation reflect that?
Richmond over the weekend during quarantine is a terrible idea. It’s one endless blob.
It’s not over the weekend… in California time, at least, it’s from 8pm Thursday night to 8pm Friday night. That means it will be a little bit on Saturday for Europeans, but that’s it.
But I do agree–Richmond is bad on busy days! Remember, though, at least it’s 2-way now. I’ll be riding in reverse!
My bad, the image on top was still showing March when I opened the article.
Today , no Yorkshire,only New York!!!

Sorry but i can see why people are heading over to other sites. I mean there is nothing but London and New York in April. One day each for Richmond, Yorkshire and Innsbruck. Can we please have some more variety 30 days and only 10% offered to the more interesting routes. Sorry but London and New York have become a little stale. Only race on them when I have too.
Go where you want, when you want:

I wonder why only one workshire day in April 2020 (and for that matter Innsbruck-not my favorite). I really like that world.
They’re probably trying to keep most people on the bigger courses since there are so many more online right now.
Surely this in April Fool’s joke and you’ve all been had?!!!
This month April is crap 16 London days, seriously one day for other courses. I use Apple TV so I can’t use the hack we should have a choice of any course any day. The need to open it up while we are all stuck at home.
If you have an iphone you can use the companion app with the apple TV!

Just would like to know why there are so many days with London course? Is it due to popularity or just by random? I would like to see more Innsbruck
why is there only 3 days in April of non London or New York courses?
Because the other worlds are too small to hold 8-10k Zwifters. It becomes a conga line.
When is the least popular time to ride these days.
Why so much New York and London?
