WoW Forever's level 60 estimates go beyond Blizzard's actual data
The official average covers only levels 1-20, leaving the rest of the road to 60 unmeasured.
How long does it take to reach level 60 in WoW Forever?
Players have been sharing XP charts and estimates, but Blizzard has only confirmed one average so far: reaching level 20 took 20.5 hours during the beta's early days, almost identical to the 20.4 hours recorded in Classic.
Senior Game Designer Josh "Aggrend" Greenfield shared the numbers during the first WoW Forever podcast. That makes the first 20 levels the only part for which Blizzard has provided an average levelling time, leaving players to estimate how long the remaining 40 levels might take.

r/wowforever is posting XP-to-60 charts this week, plus a diagram of how far from 60 the beta cap really was.

It is worth remembering that these numbers came from the early beta, so they do not necessarily reflect the final launch experience.
So How Long Does It Take to Reach Level 60?
That is the part Blizzard has not answered. The only numbers we could find come from the community and what players tested themselves.
And the result is... inconclusive, to say the least. Levelling speed varies considerably depending on how you play. If you explore new areas, complete all the side quests, and take your time, you will take 10 more hours. But if you follow a specific farming route and skip anything that does not help you reach the next level faster, it really does not take that long.
For now, Blizzard's 20.5-hour number is the only official average we have. Any estimate for the full journey to level 60 remains just that: an estimate.
