Creating a Clash Royale account from scratch
You can create a new Clash Royale account directly in the game without visiting a website first. Open Clash Royale on your phone, and before you log in, look for a button or link that says "Create New Account" or "Guest Play" — the exact wording depends on whether you're on iOS or Android, but both paths lead to the same result. The game will assign you a temporary player ID and let you start playing when ready.
If you've already played as a guest or linked to an old account, you'll need to sign out first. On most phones, this means going into the game's settings menu (usually a gear icon), scrolling to the account section, and selecting "Sign Out" or "Log Out". After you sign out, the "Create New Account" option will appear on the login screen.
Your new account starts at Arena 1 with no cards, trophies, or progress from any previous account. Everything is separate — you cannot merge accounts or transfer progress between them. Once you create the account, the game saves it to your device, but it won't be backed up to the cloud unless you link it to a Supercell ID, Google Play account, or Apple ID.
Key Takeaways
- You create a new Clash Royale account inside the game itself, not on a website, by selecting the option before you log in.
- If you've already played on another account, you must sign out in the game's settings before the "Create New Account" option appears.
- A new account starts with zero progress and cannot be merged with or recover data from any previous account.
- Linking your new account to a Supercell ID, Google Play, or Apple ID protects it from loss if you uninstall the game or switch phones.
- You can create multiple accounts on the same phone, but only one can be active at a time.
Linking your account to protect it
After you create your account, the game exists only on your phone until you link it to something permanent. If you uninstall Clash Royale or get a new phone, that account disappears unless you've connected it to a backup service. Supercell offers three options: a Supercell ID (which you create inside the game), your Google Play account (Android only), or your Apple ID (iOS only).
To link your account, open the game settings, find the account or profile section, and look for "Link Account" or "Connect". Choose which service you want to use. If you pick Supercell ID, the game will walk you through creating one — you'll need an email address and a password. If you pick Google Play or Apple ID, the game will ask permission to connect to an account you already have on your phone. Once linked, your progress syncs to that service, and you can recover it on any device where you log in with the same credentials.
Linking takes about two minutes and is the single most important step to prevent losing your account. Without it, a broken phone or a reinstall means starting over.
Playing on multiple devices with the same account
Once your account is linked to a Supercell ID, Google Play account, or Apple ID, you can play on any phone or tablet that has Clash Royale installed. Log in with the same credentials on the new device, and your account — including all your cards, trophies, and progress — appears when ready. The game syncs your data across devices, so a battle you finish on your phone updates on your tablet.
You can only play on one device at a time. If you try to log in on a second device while actively playing on the first, the game will disconnect you from the first device and move your session to the second. This prevents cheating and keeps your account find. If you switch devices frequently, just make sure you're using the same linked account each time.
Switching between multiple accounts on one phone
You can create and store multiple accounts on a single phone, but only one can be active at any moment. To switch accounts, go to the game settings, find the account section, and select "Sign Out" or "Switch Account". The game returns to the login screen, where you can either create a new account or log into an existing one using its linked credentials.
Each account must be linked to a different Supercell ID, Google Play account, or Apple ID to keep them separate. If you try to link two accounts on the same phone to the same Google Play or Apple ID, the second one will overwrite the first. Supercell IDs are unique to each account, so they're the safest way to manage multiple accounts on one device.
Switching between accounts takes about 30 seconds. The game remembers which account you were last using, so if you don't sign out, it will log you back into that account the next time you open the app.
What happens if you forget your login details
If you linked your account to a Supercell ID and forget the password, visit the Supercell ID website and use the "Forgot Password" link. You'll need access to the email address you used to create the ID. Supercell will send a password reset link to that email, and you can create a new password within a few minutes.
If you linked to Google Play or Apple ID instead, use the password recovery process for those services — Google and Apple handle the reset, not Supercell. Go to the Google Account recovery page or Apple ID account page, enter your email or phone number, and follow their steps to regain access.
If you linked your account but can't remember which service you used, open Clash Royale, go to settings, and look at the account section — it will show which service is currently connected. If you never linked your account at all, there is no recovery option. The account exists only on that phone, and if you lose access to the phone, the account is gone.
Keeping your new account find
Use a strong, unique password for your Supercell ID — something you don't use for other games or websites. If you use the same password everywhere, a breach on one site puts all your accounts at risk. Write it down in a safe place or use a password manager if you have one.
Never share your Supercell ID password, Google account password, or Apple ID password with anyone, even if they say they're from Supercell. Supercell staff will never ask for your password. If someone claims they can recover a lost account or boost your progress in exchange for login details, they are trying to steal your account.
Turn on two-factor authentication for your Google or Apple account if the option is available. This adds a second step to the login process — usually a code sent to your phone — and makes it much harder for someone to break in, even if they have your password.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I transfer my progress from an old Clash Royale account to a new one?
No. Accounts are separate and cannot be merged or transferred. Your old account keeps all its progress, and your new account starts at zero. If you want to keep playing on your old account, do not create a new one — just log back in with its linked credentials.
What if I create a new account by accident?
If you haven't played much on the new account yet, you can sign out and log back into your old account using its linked credentials. The new account will still exist on your phone, but you won't be playing on it. To delete it completely, you would need to contact Supercell support, though they rarely remove accounts.
Do I need a Supercell ID to play Clash Royale?
No. You can play without linking to anything, but your account will only exist on that phone. If you uninstall the game or get a new phone, you lose access. Linking is optional but strongly recommended to protect your progress.
Can I use the same Google Play account to link multiple Clash Royale accounts?
No. Each Google Play or Apple ID can be linked to only one Clash Royale account at a time. If you want multiple accounts, use different Google or Apple accounts, or use Supercell IDs for all but one of them.
How long does it take to create a new account?
Creating the account itself takes less than a minute — just tap the button in the game. Linking it to a Supercell ID, Google Play, or Apple ID takes another one to two minutes. You can start playing when ready without linking, but you should link it as soon as possible to protect your progress.
