Zwift Academy is back! This year Zwift Academy Road is delivering a four week crash course for athletes looking to get faster, stronger, and understand the ins and outs of training smarter. We have also brought back the optional Pro Contender Program.
The program will include a Baseline Ride, six structured workouts, and a Finish Line Ride. If you are competing for the Pro Contender Program, you will also need to complete two Pro Contender workouts. Zwift Academy Road starts September 12th and ends October 9th. If you are competing for the Pro Contender Contract, you must complete the Baseline ride AND the two additional Pro Contender workouts before September 25, 11:59 PM UTC (4:59 PM PT).
You will have the ability to unlock socks, a sweatband, kit and with completion of the program, you will score new bike paint! Looking to learn more about Zwift Academy Road? Check out the Zwift Academy main page or Support Hub FAQ. You can also track the status of known issues here.
Hey @Lucien_Didot_FR - Sorry for the confusion on this. Registration does not actually open until August 15th. When registration does open, you should not see that message any longer.
Note: These two additional workouts for Pro Contenders AND the Baseline Ride must be completed by September 25, 11:59 PM UTC (4:59 PM PT). Check out this page for full details of the pro contender workouts.
^^^ that link isn’t going to work with https:// at the end. But if you take it out, the link still doesn’t work. (“OH SNAP! LOOKS LIKE YOU’RE LOST”) Never change Zwift
Hey @Ricky_Dee1! Thanks for flagging. Here is the correct link. I also see that @Mike_Rowe1 supplied it above (thank you!). I will get that updated on the FAQ.
Hi Guys I have completed the Orientation ride twice now, I enjoyed it so much, but it is not showing as complete… I presume it is because the Academy doesn’t officially start until september… Is that right?
Looking forward to it as I enjoyed last years immensely.
Orientation rides and the first workout are available in the companion app. I cant find the baseline rides yet. I thought they should be available from the 12th September…

They probably haven’t been scheduled yet or put on the events calendar. I would suspect you will start to see them show up next week. @James_Zwift do you know?
Update August 31: Delivering the Zwift Academy Road experience across all our supported languages is important to our community. We discovered that some of the localized workout files are missing in Zwift game version 1.28. We are working on adding that as soon as possible, but there may be a few days after September 12 when ZA Road workouts will be available in English only.
Thank you for your patience. I’ll update this thread when this has been resolved.
