What the Old Method Said
Players could no longer browse a list, so they had to know a name. He could find one in a few minutes, every time.
The short version: searching can find small tournaments, but nobody should promise 100 percent. The catch: the trick came from one player in a different version of the game, and the system has changed since.
What changed: search summaries of 2026 tournament guides say tournaments are Open, Password Protected or Closed, you need XP level 8, and you find them by name in the tournaments section. A sportsdunia summary says creators began special tournaments on October 5, 2026. What it means: the basic idea, search by name, is still how you find one. Still unknown: whether the old spam-search tips still turn up open tournaments.
| Question | Notes. | Search summaries (2026) |
| Can you browse public tournaments? | No, only by name or clan | Search by name in the tournaments section |
| Tournament types | Custom tournaments | Open, password protected or closed |
| Requirement | Not stated | XP level 8 (single source) |
| Reward | Called “trash” | Not checked |
Supercell has changed how tournaments work several times, from public lists to custom codes to creator events. If it brings back an in-game list, spam-search tricks will vanish. The negative effect: players who built habits around the old trick will have to relearn, and small tournaments may become harder to find.
Safer Ways to Find a Tournament
- Ask your clan. A clanmate can create or share a tournament name.
- Follow creators. Many creators post a tournament name and, if needed, a password. Check each creator’s own posts.
- Search a unique name. One unique word works better than two. Search a full word or two letters.
- Results are not guaranteed.
- Join early. Small tournaments fill up fast.
The takeaway: use the old tips as ideas, not rules. That list is old, so check who is active.
More creators are likely to host tournaments as a way to build their audience. The negative effect: scam accounts may copy popular creators and post fake passwords, and a player who types a password into the wrong place can lose a login.
Staying Safe
- Never pay for a password. Free tournaments do not charge for entry codes.
- Never share your login. A real tournament needs only your normal game account.
- Check the source. Take the name and password from a creator’s own channel.

The move: pick two or three creators you trust, and keep a list of their tournament times. The catch: times change, so confirm before you plan your day.
Who Should Care About Tournaments
Here’s the thing: tournaments are not for everyone. They are practice for players who like a set of rules, a fixed deck pool or a bigger group. If you want a quick way to test a deck, a friendly battle with a clanmate is faster.
| You want | Better choice |
| A quick deck test | Friendly battle with a clanmate |
| A long, structured event | Open or password tournament |
| A prize or fame | A creator event, if it posts clear rules |
| A free card boost | Daily rewards and events, which are better value |
The takeaway: do not spend an hour hunting for a tournament if a friendly battle does the job. The catch: rewards were poor, which is another reason to treat tournaments as practice.

The move: pick one or two events a week, and treat them as practice. The catch: an event that starts at a fixed time may clash with your schedule, so check the clock before you plan.
If Supercell adds a public tournament list again, finding events will be easy, and the spam-search tips will not be needed. The negative effect: a public list can fill every slot in seconds, so small friendly events may become harder to join than they were.
Quick math: a ten-minute hunt for a tournament is ten minutes you could spend on three friendly battles. The catch: if you enjoy the bigger group and the stream chat, that time is worth it. Pick the mode that fits your goal.
