Season 20: The World Cup is back. Now it’s your turn.
A new track to discover, three official federation race suits and a winter of competition: Season 20 brings World Cup racing to your screen, starting in Sölden.
The winter starts at the gate. Learn the course, find your line and take on the clock in Ski Challenge’s World Cup 2026/27. Whether you’re returning for the season or preparing for your first official run, there’s a competition for you.
A new track awaits
Season 20 has a new challenge in store: a new track is coming to Ski Challenge.
We’re keeping its name under wraps for now. Get ready for unfamiliar turns, new racing lines and that first run down a course you’ve never raced before. The reveal is still to come.
Three teams. Your colours.
Bring your favourite team’s colours to the slopes with three new official race suits:
- Ski Austria
- Swiss-Ski
- DSV
Austria, Switzerland or Germany: choose the look you want to race in and make it part of your winter.
Find your World Cup
Three formats offer different ways to compete. Equipment is provided in each, so you can race without owning or upgrading the required items.
World Cup Challenger
For new entrants up to player level 14, with no minimum player level. You have unlimited attempts per race to learn the course and improve your time. Every attempt uses Stamina. If you reach level 15 during the series, you keep access to your Challenger races and standings.
World Cup
For players at level 15 and above. Choose from the provided skis, practise your line and improve your time with unlimited attempts per race. Every attempt uses Stamina.
World Cup Pro
For players at level 15 and above who want the pressure of a single run. Race solo with a fixed equipment setup and one official attempt per race. Training and official racing cost no Stamina.
From level 15, you can enter both the regular World Cup and Pro. Each format has its own standings.
Your race schedule: Challenger, World Cup and Pro.
In Challenger and World Cup, you practise directly in the scored race, with unlimited attempts and no separate training. In Pro, training opens on Monday and the official race opens on Friday. Pro has one official attempt per race.
Pro training and official races close on Sunday at 23:55 Vienna time. Closed Pro races cannot be replayed. In Challenger and the regular World Cup, earlier races remain available until the series ends in March. You can catch up on missed races and keep improving your time with unlimited attempts.
Sölden opens the winter: Challenger and World Cup racing start on 19 October 2026 at 10:00, alongside Pro training. The official Pro race opens on 23 October at 00:05. Pro training and racing close on 25 October at 23:55. All times are local Vienna time.
Sölden Challenge: win a day on the real slopes
Alongside the World Cup, the separate Sölden Challenge runs from 19 October to 1 November 2026.
Race the original World Cup track with provided equipment, unlimited attempts and no Stamina cost. The final Top 3 each win a Sölden day ski pass, provided by Ötztal Tourismus.
This event has its own standings and prizes, separate from the World Cup series.
Your Season 20 Ski Pass
Keep progressing beyond the finish line. The Season 20 Ski Pass offers 50 levels in both Free and Premium, with rewards at every level.
Collect trophies, advance through the levels and build your equipment collection. Check the Ski Pass in the game for the rewards and unlock requirements.
One season starts. A whole winter awaits.
Season 20 and its Ski Pass run from 19 October 2026 to 18 January 2027 at 09:50 Vienna time.
The World Cup continues until 28 March 2027 at 23:55 Vienna time. Your World Cup standings carry over into the next season, with series Coin rewards awarded according to your final overall position after the March finale.
Start with Sölden. Find your line. Make your first official run count.
Open Ski Challenge and choose your World Cup.
