Summary

A plethora of Ranked Mode changes is coming to Clash of Clans this month
The changes promise to make grinding up the Legend League ladder more rewarding

Supercell has finally made some big Ranked mode changes in Clash of Clans, arriving this month. After multiple feedback with the stagnant gameplay in the new Legends League and the poor reward system, the developers are introducing some much-needed Clash of Clans Legends League Changes.

According to Supercell, the new changes aim to make Legends League gameplay more exciting and enable a smoother ranked progression for players across all Town Halls. Let's break down the Clash of Clans Ranked Mode Update April 2026 in detail:

Clash of Clans Legends League Changes: Introducing new League Tiers

With the new Clash of Clans Update, Supercell is expanding the existing Legends League. The Legends League will now be split into three tiers, namely:

Legend I
Legend II
Legend III

Irrespective of the split, however, each of the three tiers will have the same Star and League Bonus, but will have different Battle Modifiers. As expected, each tier will have its own difficulty and structure, with the difficulty increasing as you move up the tiers.

There will be separate Battle Modifiers as well, which will provide you with a balanced experience, enabling you to enjoy the Ranked mode rather than just grinding it out aimlessly. Let's see individually how each league will work in the table below:

Legend III	Legend II	Legend I
Weekly Tournaments	Weekly Tournaments	4-week Tournaments
24 battles per week	30 battles per week	8 battles per day
Top 5 players per group are promoted each week	Top 3 players per group are promoted each week	Players below Rank 10,000 are demoted each week
Uses Legend III Battle Modifiers	Uses Legend II Battle Modifiers	Uses Legend I Battle Modifiers

The Sound of Clash Event is currently underway. Check out our complete Clash of Clans Sound of Clash Event Guide on how to maximise the rewards efficiently.

Migration Week Will Decide Your Place in the New Legends Leagues

There will be a specific Migration Week as well, starting from 20th April, which will determine from which Legend League you start once the update is rolled out until the update's release. The division will be as follows:

Top 12,500 CoC players will be placed in Legend I
Next 50,000 players will rank in Legend II
Remaining Legends League players will move to Legend III
Demoted players will fall back into Electro 33

Do note that this will be a one-time placement window, and your performance during the Migration Week will mark your starting point in the new Legends League. A Higher ranking will rank you among the game's all-time greats with a lesser hassle of climbing tiers.
