    Zwift Course Calendar – Current Guest World Schedule

    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.

      This isn’t really a big deal but I’ve noticed that the highlighted date in the calendar above is often off by 1 day. For example, it’s currently 9:54am on Dec 3rd but Dec 2 is highlighted in the calendar. Just thought I’d point it out @Eric Schlange

      That’s because the changeover happens at midnight Eastern time (New York time). So you’ll need to check when the changeover will happen depending on your time-zone.

      I have noticed that apparently, the course changeover schedule doesn’t take daylight savings time into account. I’m in Alaska so when it changes at midnight EST, for me, it is 8 pm (2000). A week or two ago I was going to do a ride about 1900 that was in the Makuri Islands. I finally logged on probably 1915 and it had already changed to the next day’s schedule. I thought maybe it was a fluke or something; if nothing else, I don’t know how I could have never noticed that before. But to be safe, the next time I… Read more »

      The schedule is a super important page but we need a tweak to the “lands”. The title of the route is not good enough because it takes to long to render the graphics. How about the the title include the distance & height thereby saving the frustration & time of rending the 3D graphics of the route AND allowing you to more wisely pick the route(s) you want to see the 3D rending of.

      I’d could argue that the 100mile/1,000ft is way more difficult than the 10mile/1,000ft (I’m sure you could do a few of the latter in the time it takes you to do the former).

      Elevation gain on its own doesn’t tell you too much.

      not sure if you will check back to this but I have been looking at ZwiftHacks and this link might give the ft per mile you are looking for each of the Zwift routes.

      In the route description pages for each world it would be nice to have a little overview of each route in the bar where the name is. By overview I mean distance and climbing distance

      As I enter into only my second year of Zwift-ing I can say without hesitation that one of the most annoying “features” of Zwift is that all worlds aren’t easily available, all of the time. Simply put I pay for a service that per-day reduces its own value. Sure I can use hacks but WHY?

      Zwift was created to be a social experience, and keeping people limited to 3 worlds a day allows for a higher density of riders.

      Why does Zwift have a ride calendar? Do they not have enough server capacity to offer all routes every day?

      Nah, it’s not about capacity. It’s about wanting to make sure each open world has enough traffic that riders feel like they’re riding with others, and not alone. That’s what Zwift has repeatedly said over the years.

      But there’s been some pushback to open up more worlds, especially during the busy season, when the open maps can feel overly busy! We’ll see what happens this winter…

      Good morning Eric
      I am fairly new to Zwift
      Why don’t they mix up the Calendar a bit more.
      Say Combine Paris and London.
      Richmond and New York.
      Paris and France are ALWAYS paired along with Makuri and NY.
      Why is this do you think?

      I’m not sure why their pair up the guest maps the way they do. Supposedly it doesn’t have to be that way in game… yet it’s always been done that way!

      It’s particularly bad that they keep pairing big worlds or small worlds together. Makuri and New York are wasted on each other but what choice does one have wirh several days of Richmond and Innsbruck? Or Yorkshire and Innsbruck, seriously?. Paris is not a world — it is one route and should be included with France, not paired with it – it’s not like France is so big that it offers so much choice on its own.

      As Eric mentioned, he can only publish it after Zwift publishes it. You’d have to ask Zwift to release it sooner for Eric to be able to publish it sooner, so be sure to provide feedback to Zwift if you’d like to see a change.

      Come on Zwift, it’s time to make Makuri Islands a permanent option alongside Watopia, more than enough routes now and the numbers will still be high. Rotate the other worlds but Makuri should be there all the time.. IMHO..

      Definitely! I thought I’d give zwift another go after reading about new routes on Makuri and getting sent a promo code for a month. I logged on to find the same rotating system still in place and I’m stuck with the worlds I got bored with until the end of the month.

      There is no direct conversion of climbed meters to distance. Grade percentage and rider bmi will change the result. Try riding one to five miles over flat and then elevation and compare data since that will be specific to your ride style and rider type.

      I think you need to feed this back to Zwift. Eric is only providing us with information, not setting the schedule. Zwift claims it allows limited worlds at any one time to encourage people to cycle together. There are workarounds for those who want them.

      Makuri is not even that way so the answer is no, not until Zwift makes a fundamental change to allow more than 3 worlds at one time.

      Supposed to be free ridable mid-March. No specific days given. My guess is Zwift will revise the world calendar when the time comes.

      I rode yesterday and the guest worlds were Scotland and Yorkshire – not Scotland and Makuri. Doesn’t help that the course schedule is wrong when you’re planning a ride – although I get with Zwift constantly making changes it must be very difficult to keep up with them!

      Is Scotland getting the short end of the stick for some reason? And why is Paris/ France used so much?

      The in game world schedule doesn’t seem
      to match what is showing here. For the past several days, what is available in game for the two additional worlds has varied from what was supposed to be available according to the world
      calendar. Everything seems to be off by one day. Any idea what could be going on ? I checked the date/time settings in Apple TV and everything is fine. Did the usual resets, delete and reinstall app the situation persists.

      Hi Eric, do you know if a climb portal schedule will be released for August?

      Looks like the August calendar is on the Zwift website with 2 new climbs in Scotland: Crow Road and Bealach Na Ba https://www.zwift.com/ca/events/series/zwift-climb-portal

      I’ll readily admit I haven’t scrolled through 221 comments so apologies if it’s been asked before. Most calendar weeks start with Sunday so I’m curious why start this calendar on a Monday? Maybe I’m the only one but I often forget about this when I’m scheduling free rides/routes.

      In the cycling world, calendars often start on Monday because Saturday and Sunday are taken together as “the weekend”. You see this with Strava and TrainingPeaks, for example. It’s also what’s used on Zwift’s in-game world schedule.
