When Are Clan Games, CWL and Raid Weekend in Clash of Clans?

CWL usually opens near the start of the month, Clan Games usually run from the 22nd to the 28th, and Raid Weekend spans Friday to Monday. Use the monthly announcement for dates and the countdown in your game for the exact deadline. A CWL sign-up window is not the start time of your clan’s first battle.

When is the next CWL?

CWL normally begins near the start of each month. Supercell’s October 2026 announcement lists October 1–11. Those October dates have passed; they do not confirm the November schedule. Check the latest monthly announcement and the CWL button in game before setting your next sign-up reminder.

The two-day sign-up period is for leaders to enter the clan. Your clan’s first Preparation Day begins after matchmaking, and its Battle Day follows the preparation countdown. Two clans that sign up at different times need not attack at the same clock time.

My recommendation: set one reminder to confirm registration with a leader, then a second from your own Battle Day countdown. A calendar date alone cannot tell you when your attack expires.

Gold Pass season1st to last day of the monthRewards pay out at the end, around 08:00 UTC on the 1st
Clan War LeagueUsually early in the month; check the current announcement2-day sign-up; matching starts the clan’s own preparation and battle schedule
Clan Games22nd to 28thFrom Town Hall 6; rewards stay claimable 7 days

Supercell’s monthly posts list the dates, for example “October 1-11” for CWL and “October 22-28” for Clan Games. Treat these as published October dates, not a guarantee for a future month.

Every week

Raid Weekend continues into Monday. Estimated UTC times are listed above. Confirm deadlines in game; special events can change the calendar.

This is the recurring schedule described in the article, not a live event countdown.

Set reminders that match the in-game deadline

ReminderWhat to check firstAction
CWL registrationCurrent sign-up countdown and season rosterAsk a leader to confirm entry before sign-up closes
Your CWL attackToday’s lineup and Battle Day timerChoose a target and leave time for a fallback attack plan
Clan Games rewardsReward screen and claim countdownClaim before the deadline; challenge completion and claiming are separate steps
Raid WeekendWeekend timer and attacks remainingFinish planned attacks before the weekend ends

If the game says “2h 30m remaining” at 18:00 in your time zone, the displayed deadline is about 20:30 that day. Set a reminder earlier than that, then recheck the timer when you return. This is an example, not a live event time.

Clan War League in more detail

A Leader or Co-leader signs the clan up during the 2-day window with at least 15 players. Then there’s one 23-hour Preparation Day and seven war days of 24 hours each, one attack per player per day. War sizes are 15v15 or 30v30.

Medals depend on your league and stars; players on the roster who never attack get 20%, and bonus medals must be handed out within 21 days. See CWL rosters and CWL medals.

Raid Weekend and Clan Games

  • Raid Weekend: 5 attacks, plus a bonus attack for destroying a district. After your first raid attack you’re locked to that clan for the weekend. More in the Raid Weekend guide.
  • Clan Games: up to 50 participants per clan, from Town Hall 6.

The clan page shows the last raid weekends and wars for any clan, so you can see who took part.

Quick questions

Does CWL start at the same time for every clan?

The sign-up window is shared, but each clan’s preparation and battles depend on when it is matched. Read your own CWL countdown for attack deadlines. The monthly event dates do not give your personal Battle Day start time.

When do Clan Games start?

On the 22nd of most months, running to the 28th. Community timers show the start at 08:00 UTC.

When does the Trader refresh?

Every Tuesday. Everyone sees the same offers.

Why does an event start an hour earlier or later where I live?

A UTC time does not change with daylight saving time, but your local UTC offset can. Check your time zone and use the countdown shown in game instead of copying an old local-time reminder.
