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.
Keep in mind the guest course changeover happens at midnight Eastern/9pm Pacific (4am UTC the following day).
If you’d like to ride an off-schedule course, see How To Access the Route You Want.

My guess is they’ll release it sometime during the long Makuri Islands block from the 10th-17th.
Neokyo is just a new portion of the Makuri Islands map. It’s own “area”, like Yumezi is. Similar to Titans Grove and Fuego Flats in Watopia.
I use the Brave Browser with and Ad Blocker and I don’t see any advertisements. Just content.
I’ve started turning off my ad blocker for the ‘smaller’ websites I frequent that I’d like to support. But I will say, the ads on here are definitely a bit more intrusive and obnoxious.
Any way to add this calendar to Google Calendar, iCal etc?
Its arrived for me on the 18th when i updated zwift
we will all need to wait for zwift to schedule a race/event on the crit course and then sign up and complete the event – that will get you the neokyo crit course badge. As of now, there is no other way to get it….and zwift has not announced an event on that new course (as of 11/23)
Thanks. Thought that would be the case!
Thanks. We will wait.
Ok. Thanks.
Thanks
Really odd – this morning at 7:30am EST London was available, only 200 or so riders in the world. All published calendars show Innsbruck should have been available instead.
Does Zwift have a schedule they follow for releasing the next month’s schedule? Just went to take a look at December (on 28 Nov) and the map was blank (Unreleased?).
I support this Kirk, I’d like to plan a ride this coming Saturday and know tonight (Dec30) which Guest Worlds are available!
Just click to advance to the next month, Robin. January’s calendar is published!
when will february’s calendar be there? when I click it’s still blank. Thank you 😉
When Zwift posts it! Still waiting for them to do so…
I guess tomorrow? 🙃
Kind of wanted to plan some stuff, being all Type A and what not.
it’s…. ALIVE!
Barry,
Make sure you have the latest version of “Zwift Routes by Difficulty”. Miles/feet are listed in parentheses.
Hi, I was not asking him to put a conversion to miles, I was asking to add a special number which is a comparison of the ft of climbing to the distance of the ride. Example: a 20 mile ride with 1200 ft of climbing is 1200/20 = 60 ft/mile. We often use this to see how a route will feel before riding as it compares your climbing over the distance. Another way to think about it is 1000 ft over 10 miles (100 ft/mi) is much harder than 1000ft climbing over 100 miles (10ft/mi). This is called elevation gain… Read more »
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.
Barry
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.

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.
No, I don’t think so. Notice I said it was wrong for me at 9:54am – that’s 8:54am Eastern Time.
Hey Eric, did you know this post/comment area has the ability to show the NEWEST posts up top by default? Right now you have the older up top by default. I know they can flip it but if you want newest first, lmk and I’ll tell you how. I just added it to my site and had to figure it out.
On my calendar, on the right corner of the screen on Apple TV, I do not see color for any worlds. There is only few dates with an orange circle around the date. Today, December 27th supposed to be Innsbruck and Richmond but I have the choice of London and Richmond and Watopia. Do you have any idea of why I do not see the correct routes?
I keep trying to like your post but for some reason it won’t let me! So I’ll comment instead. I agree. I like France too.
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.
Hello I discover to day next problem when I work with my iMac i have the gast countries lik on the calendar , when i log in with apple tv i has different gast countries , what could be the raison here for
London, Richmond, Yorkshire is soooooooooo boring please remove it
Wow Zwift about it (can go to their Support Forums)
This site (let alone Eric) has nothing to do with which worlds / routes are created or their schedule
What’s with the silly cap I wore on Stage 1 and how do I remove it?
I’m new to the forum, but have the powers-that-be at Zwift ever considered a route based on the old US Core States race in Philadelphia that incorporates the iconic Manyunk “wall”?
Do the guest worlds ever get paired up differently. Why is Makuri always with New York
Stop putting pop-ups on your site asking me for comments and opinions … the web has been broken by this and all the necessary gdrp stuff that no one reads any more … gets so annoying and puts ppl off visiting :/
You eventually learn to live with it, just like most other sites.
And it’s the best way to get subscribers
Right now it’s showing Monday the 24th as highlighted (London/Yorkshire), even though it’s currently Wed the 26th’s morning.
Have never seen this happen before
Anyone else having connection problems with Wahoo Kickr and Apple TV? I lost connection 6 times today in a 30 minute ride. It’s never happened before
Interesting that with the Climb Challenge in progress, Zwift didn’t schedule France on at least one day of each week in February, and there is a fourteen day period with no France. Yep, you can do an invite and ride Ven Top anytime you want, but I thought Zwift always wanted a high number of participants on the particular course for their published events.
Anyone else seeing this. The course map shows ONLY Innsbruck/Richmond for every day in February (Apple TV User). I am up to date with version, etc
Why does Zwift hate the France map so much 🙁 I had hoped it would get an extension this year with the Women’s TdF by Zwift, but with only four days this month it looks more like they are abandoning it 🙁
Are there going to be any Spanish and Italian
routes put on ?
Am a bit disappointed at how infrequently the France site comes up. You don’t have to many decent climbs so you should offer access to Ventoux more often
You can always use a self created meet up or zwift preferences hack to select any world and route.
Hey guys how about loading in an Aussie course? Santos Tour Down Under has some great stages around the Adelaide Hills…. And Cadel Evans tour around Geelong… great events and good Aussie bush land and coastal routes!
The Wollongong Worlds course would be awesome.
Makuri Islands needs to be live more than it is.
Richmond has so few courses that are actually available and not restricted to Event Only. I think it is over represented on the calendar.
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
All Zwifters please change your flags to that of UKRAINE. Zwift…. Please block all Russian and Belorussian Zwifters
Why harm the people when the government is the problem?
It’s not the russians, it’s puttin
Lol. That’ll show ’em.
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?
Way too much London-Yorkshire-Richmond this month
Hallo
Nach dem die neue Benutzeroberfläche da ist habe ich schon mehrmals kurzzeitige Verbindungsausfälle für einige Sekunden gehabt.Kann das am letzten Update liegen
Ridiculous how Makuri island is supposed to be the next Watopia and in fact so much in the way of good roads has been put into building it up yet it’s so infrequent on the rotation.
Today is 7th. Why am I not getting Innsbruck? Same yesterday. London or Yorkshire on my setup.
Time for another European style world
italian alps, or French alps
something to make you dream about the big tours
Hey, I’m curious how you decide which world is made available for which days? You seem to be putting London on a lot and barely ever Innsbruck. When I first started using zwift not that long ago the worlds circulated pretty evenly
Has Zwift ever considered a vote on the worlds so that they most popular ones get rotated more often?
Really love Zwift
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…
15 days of Makuri? Are we getting the next expansion?
Hopefully a new Wollongong world arrives in time for the world champs this year.
That course would suit Zwift.
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?
Richard Burnett
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!
Why are there substantially more watopia/makuri this month, I don’t particularly like makuri, and the routes I prefer, London there is very few….. boooooo
Is Zwift providing notice wherein a Pace Partner calendar can be maintained?
