WORLD CUP 2026/27
A WORLD CUP
FOR EVERYONE.
Race the World Cup tracks in Ski Challenge. Your player level determines where you start. You decide how far you go.
WHAT’S NEW THIS SEASON?
The main changes from last year, at a glance.
One event for the whole season
Last year, each race had its own event. Now each format has one season-long event, with individual races added throughout the winter.
Unlimited attempts or one run that counts
Last year, we had Time Attack and One Attempt. Now Challenger and World Cup offer unlimited attempts. Pro has one official attempt per race, with separate training races to prepare.
Points and standings in the game
Last year, we calculated World Cup points in Excel. This season, the game calculates your race points and overall standings automatically.
A World Cup for every skill level
Last year, everyone had to master demanding Legendline skis. Now Challenger offers easy-to-handle skis, World Cup offers fast skis, and Pro keeps the Legendline challenge.
WHICH WORLD CUP IS YOURS?
Challenger and World Cup are two ways into the same season. Your Ski Challenge account’s player level determines your entry.
WORLD CUP CHALLENGER
For beginners and improving racers. Visible from the start, with no minimum player level.
Easy-to-handle skis.
Easy slope conditions.
WORLD CUP
For experienced racers.
Fast skis.
Normal slope conditions.
Unlimited attempts
Your best valid time determines your race rank and the points you earn for the overall standings. Every attempt uses Stamina.
Open until the season ends
Every unlocked race stays open until 28 March. You can join later and catch up.
The same choice for everyone
Choose the skis that suit you best from the provided selection. Everyone in your format has the same choice.
AN EXTRA CHALLENGE FROM PLAYER LEVEL 15
WORLD CUP PRO
For experts with nerves of steel.
An extra challenge alongside your World Cup.
Fast, demanding Legendline skis. The same equipment for everyone. Normal or Ice conditions. No Stamina needed. Missed Pro races cannot be replayed.
Pro: race weeks and points explained
Train first. Then make one run count.
Training opens on Monday. The official race opens on Friday. Both close on Sunday at 23:55. Closed Pro races cannot be replayed.
Your position earns fixed points.
Pro scoring is based on the points system used in the real World Cup.
Example: finishing 2nd and 3rd in two races gives you 140,000 points. A missed race earns 0 points.

All provided equipment has attribute level 10. It cannot be combined with your own equipment. Enhancements are not allowed.

From player level 15, World Cup is the standard entry. If you have already joined Challenger, you can keep racing there. Your results and access to rewards remain intact. Points do not transfer between formats.
