Clash of Clans Leagues Explained: Every Ranked League from Skeleton to Legend

Since the update of 6 October 2025, Clash of Clans no longer has the old trophy leagues such as Crystal, Master or Champion. Instead you play weekly tournaments in Ranked Battles and climb through 33 numbered leagues from Skeleton 1 to Electro 33. Above them, since April 2026, sit three Legend leagues: Legend III, II and I.

This guide lists every league in order, how many battles you get per week, how trophies are scored, when you promote or demote and which league floor your Town Hall has. Accurate as of 25 October 2026, based on Supercell's patch notes and the Clash of Clans Wiki.

Battles vs. Ranked Battles

Supercell split multiplayer matchmaking into two modes:

Trophies are only earned in Ranked Battles, and they reset after every tournament. According to Supercell, the League Bonus and Star Bonus depend on your current league and Town Hall level and apply in both modes. Climbing the ranked ladder therefore also raises your bonus loot when you farm in regular Battles.

Magic Shields only exist in regular Battles. In the Legend league you can use Legend Shields to skip individual league days instead.

All Clash of Clans leagues in order

Skeleton 1 is the lowest league, Legend I the highest. Each name covers three numbered leagues. The number is always the clearest reference.

1. 12 Legend III · II · I
2. 11 Electro 31 · 32 · 33
3. 10 Dragon 28 · 29 · 30
4. 09 Titan 25 · 26 · 27
5. 08 P.E.K.K.A 22 · 23 · 24
6. 07 Golem 19 · 20 · 21
7. 06 Witch 16 · 17 · 18
8. 05 Valkyrie 13 · 14 · 15
9. 04 Wizard 10 · 11 · 12
10. 03 Archer 7 · 8 · 9
11. 02 Barbarian 4 · 5 · 6
12. 01 Skeleton 1 · 2 · 3

Watch the names: Titan and Dragon are now mid-to-upper leagues, not the top as in the old trophy system. Only the Legend league sits above Electro. Clan War Leagues use their own ladder with names such as Master, Champion and Titan, which has nothing to do with your Ranked league.

Battles per week in each league

Each league has a fixed number of attacks per tournament, and your base can be attacked the same number of times. Titan to Legend values come from the 27 April 2026 update, the lower ones from the Clash of Clans Wiki:

How a Ranked tournament works

1. You sign up for the tournament of your current league.
2. You are placed in a group of up to 100 players from the same league.
3. According to Supercell, tournaments start on Mondays at 17:00 UTC.
4. During the week you attack and get attacked until your league's battles are used up.
5. At the end, your placement in the group by trophies is what counts.

You set a separate Ranked defense layout. You can edit it until battling starts in a new tournament. Later changes only apply from the next tournament.

How trophies are scored

According to the Clash of Clans Wiki, each attack is worth up to 40 trophies:

• 3 stars: all 40 trophies.
• 2 stars: 16 trophies at 50% destruction, plus 1 for every additional 3% (32 at 98%).
• 1 star: 5 to 15 trophies depending on destruction.
• 0 stars: 1 trophy per 10% destruction, up to 4.

The defender gets the remainder up to 40. If the attacker earns no star, the defender gets all 40. Below Legend I you cannot lose trophies during a tournament; you only collect them.

Promotion, demotion and ties

After the tournament, the top part of the group promotes one league, the bottom part demotes one league and the rest stays. The share depends on the league. According to the Wiki, up to half of the group promotes in the lowest leagues, but only 15 to 20% in Electro. Between 5 and 15% demote, depending on the league. Supercell has adjusted these shares several times, most recently announced in January 2026.

Ties on trophies are broken by higher average attack destruction, then lower average defense destruction, then shorter attack time.

The only way to move up more than one league per week is a Town Hall upgrade: if your new Town Hall's floor is higher than your league, you are placed there after the tournament.

League floors by Town Hall level

You cannot drop below your Town Hall's floor. Supercell set the floors for Town Hall 16 to 18 in April 2026; the others come from the Wiki.

Inactivity

Since April 2026 you can take 4 weeks off without demoting. After that you lose one league for every further 4 weeks until you reach your Town Hall floor. After another 4 inactive weeks there, you lose your league placement. An in-game warning with a timer shows when a demotion is coming.

Legend III, II and I

Promoting out of Electro 33 takes you into the Legend league. Since the 27 April 2026 update it has three tiers:

• Legend III: weekly tournaments, 24 battles, the top 5 of each group promote.
• Legend II: weekly tournaments, 30 battles, the top 3 of each group promote.
• Legend I: 4-week tournaments, 8 battles per league day. Everyone starts at 5,000 trophies and is reset to 5,000 at each new tournament. Anyone outside the top 10,000 at the end of Sunday drops to Legend II on Monday. Missed defenses are filled with the average of the current and the previous day.

Reaching Legend III already completes the "League Master" achievement.

Battle modifiers in the Legend league

Attacks are harder in all three Legend tiers. According to Supercell:

Equipment is not weakened. Electro 32 and 33 have had no modifiers since April 2026.

Tips for climbing

• Use every attack. The number is fixed per tournament, so a skipped attack is lost trophies.
• Go for 3 stars. A 3-star attack is worth 40 trophies; a 98% 2-star only 32.
• Set your Ranked layout before Monday. Changes after battling starts only count next week.
• Plan Town Hall upgrades. A new Town Hall can lift you to a higher floor, with tougher opponents right away.
• Breaks of up to 4 weeks are safe. After that you slide down league by league.

Recommended hardware

You play Clash of Clans on a phone or tablet. The upper leagues add up to 12 to 30 attacks per week, and Legend I even 8 per day. A stable connection and enough battery help:
