AI Overview: To change your Clash Royale name, open Settings and tap Change Name once your King Level allows it. The first change is free. Guides say later changes cost 500 Gems and 500 more each time. The old trick of asking Support to change it for you is not a promise, so use it only when your name breaks the rules.
Last Updated: October 2026
Key Points:
- The Change Name button is in Settings once your King Level is high enough. Level 4, and some guides say 5.
- The first name change is free, according to current guides.
- Guides say later changes cost 500 Gems, then 1,000, then 1,500 and so on, but Supercell’s own page would not load to confirm it.
- Names run 2 to 15 characters, according to one guide.
- The old claim that you get only one change ever is out of date.

How to Change Your Clash Royale Name
Here’s the thing: this page used to say Clash Royale gave one name change and no more, unless you asked Support. That is out of date. Current guides say the first change is free and later changes cost Gems. If you want to change your Clash Royale name, the steps are short.
- Open Clash Royale and tap Settings.
- Find the Change Name button. It shows once your King Level is high enough. Level 4, and some guides say 5, so look for it as you level.
- Type the new name.
- Type CONFIRM if the game asks, and accept.
- Check your profile and your clan list to see the new name.
The takeaway: your first change is free, so spend a minute on the name before you tap confirm. The catch: menu names move between versions, and Supercell’s own help page would not load for this review, so the cost and level details come from player guides.
Supercell has moved many perks to Gems and passes over the years, and name changes now follow that pattern. If prices or levels shift again, the numbers on this page could age fast. The negative effect: players who save Gems for a name change may find the price has moved by the time they get there.
What a Second Change Costs
| Change | Cost in Gems | Source status |
| First | Free | Several guides agree |
| Second | 500 | Guides say so |
| Third | 1,000 | Guides say so |
| Fourth | 1,500 | Guides say so |
The pattern: after the free change, each one adds 500 Gems to the price. What it means: a careless rename gets costly fast. Still unknown: whether the price ever stops rising or resets, because Supercell does not state it where we could read it. Gems are also what you use for chests and passes, so see real ways to get Clash Royale Gems before you spend them.
If Supercell keeps tying small perks to Gems, name changes could get a fixed price or a cooldown, and the bigger names in the game may be reserved by players who got there early. The negative effect: a player who wants a short, clean name may find it taken, and a rename could cost more than the Gems they have.
Name Rules
- Names run 2 to 15 characters, according to one guide.
- Skip offensive words, politics and personal details such as a real full name, phone number or address.
- Skip emojis and rare symbols, because they can show as boxes on other phones.
- Pick a name clanmates can type and say out loud.
- Avoid copying a famous player’s name, because it confuses people and may get reported.
The move: if the name feels risky, a shorter, plain name is the safer choice. The catch: a clan search is by name and tag, so a very common name can be hard to find. Test it by saying it out loud: if a clanmate cannot spell it after hearing it once, pick another. A name you can still love in a year saves you 500 Gems.
Can Supercell Support Change Your Name?
The writer said it worked a few times. We cannot confirm that today, and Support is not a free rename button. If your name truly breaks the rules or shows private information, ask Support. Be honest in the message, and expect questions that prove the account is yours.
The catch: Support may ask for your player tag, level and clan, which Game Rant lists for account help, and a saved Supercell ID makes proving ownership easier. Our page on Supercell ID shows how to set it up, and the save and load checklist covers the rest. Avoid any message that says something untrue, since it can slow the answer.
As Supercell tightens rules on names to cut abuse, expect more automatic filters on new names. The negative effect: a harmless name could be blocked by a filter, and players may have to try several spellings before one passes.
