From one team in 2021 to a record-breaking 60 teams in 2026, SISU Racing continues to reach new heights as we prepare for Round 2 of the Zwift Racing League (ZRL).
When SISU Racing was founded in 2021, we entered the Zwift Racing League with just one team, a handful of passionate riders and a shared belief in the power of community, connection and competition.
Five years later, that little team has grown into one of the largest racing communities on Zwift, and we're incredibly proud to announce another milestone.
SISU Racing will enter Round 2 of the 2026/27 Zwift Racing League with a record 60 teams, including five Women's teams!
It's an extraordinary achievement and a reflection of the dedication of our riders, captains and volunteers who continue to embrace the SISU spirit of determination, resilience and courage.
Advancing Women in Esports
One of the achievements we're most proud of is the continued growth of women's racing within SISU.
Earlier this year, SISU Racing announced a strategic commitment to advancing women in esports, creating more opportunities for women to participate, compete, develop and lead within our community.
Entering Round 2 with five Women's teams is another important step in delivering on that commitment.
We're passionate about making esports cycling more accessible and welcoming to women of all abilities, from those taking their first steps into competitive racing to experienced riders chasing podiums.
More women racing. More opportunities to grow. More friendships formed. That's what SISU is all about.
Round 2: Six Races, One SISU Spirit
The next chapter of the 2026/27 Zwift Racing League begins on Tuesday 17 November, with six races awaiting our teams over the coming weeks.
Across different time zones, grades and divisions, our riders will once again pull on the SISU blue and white jerseys, ready to race, support their teammates and give everything they've got.
A special shout-out goes to our incredible team captains, whose efforts behind the scenes make it possible for so many riders to enjoy the team racing experience.
From coordinating rosters and developing race strategies to encouraging teammates and building friendships, our captains are the heartbeat of SISU Racing.

But while the numbers are impressive, it's what happens behind them that matters most.
The friendships formed, the encouragement shared, the personal milestones celebrated and the sense of belonging that comes from being part of something bigger than yourself.
That's the SISU spirit, and it's what makes our community special.
60 teams. Five Women's teams. Six races. One incredible community.
