Your username appears in the top left corner of the main menu

Open Clash Royale and look at the screen you see when the game loads. In the upper left, below your player level, you'll see a name in white text. That's your username. If you're logged into a Supercell ID or Google Play account, the name tied to that account is what displays there.

The username is also visible on your profile card — tap your avatar (the circular icon with your face or chosen image) and your full profile opens. The name at the top of that card is the one other players see when they search for you or face you in battle.

If you've never set a custom name, Clash Royale assigns you a default one based on your account creation. You can change it once every 30 days by tapping your profile, selecting the edit icon next to your name, and typing a new one.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Clash Royale username displays in the top left of the main menu, below your level number.
  • Tap your avatar to open your profile card, where your username appears at the top.
  • You can change your username once every 30 days through the profile edit menu.
  • Your username is what other players see when they search for you or check your battle history.
  • If you're logged into Supercell ID or Google Play, your username is tied to that account across devices.

Where to look if you're logged into multiple accounts

Clash Royale lets you link multiple accounts to the same device through Supercell ID or Google Play. If you've done this, each account has its own username. To find the username for a specific account, you need to log into that account first.

Open the settings menu (the gear icon in the top right of the main menu), scroll down, and look for account options. You'll see which account you're currently logged into. If you want to check a different account's username, tap the account switcher, select the other account, and the game will reload with that account active. The username for that account will then appear in the top left corner.

Finding your username through Supercell ID

If you've linked your Clash Royale account to Supercell ID, you can also view your username by logging into Supercell ID on a web browser. Go to supercell.com, sign in with your email and password, and your linked accounts will display with their usernames listed.

This method is useful if you're away from your device or want to check multiple accounts at once without switching between them in the game. Supercell ID shows all accounts tied to that email address, along with each one's current username.

Why your username might look different to other players

Clash Royale allows special characters and symbols in usernames that may not display the same way on every device or in every language. If you've used emoji or non-English characters, they might appear as boxes or different symbols when other players view your profile. The actual username you set remains the same in your account settings — the display difference is just a rendering issue on their end.

Additionally, if you recently changed your username, it can take a few minutes to update across Supercell's servers. If someone searches for your old name, they won't find you. Wait a few minutes and have them search for your new username instead.

How to search for another player's username

To find someone else's Clash Royale username, tap the search icon (magnifying glass) in the main menu. Type their name or their player tag — a unique code that starts with a # symbol. If you know their player tag, searching by that is faster and more accurate than searching by username, since tags are unique and never change.

Player tags appear on every profile card and in battle replays. If someone gives you their tag instead of their username, use that to find them. You can also find tags by checking your recent opponents list or your clan member list.

Resetting or recovering a forgotten username

If you've forgotten your username and can't access your account, the fastest way to recover it is through Supercell ID. Log in at supercell.com with your email and password. Your account details, including your current username, will display when ready.

If you don't remember your Supercell ID password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the Supercell login page. You'll receive a password reset email at the address tied to your account. Once you reset it and log back in, you can see your username and change it if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see my username if I'm not logged in?

No. You must be logged into your account to see your username. The username only appears once the game loads and you're on the main menu. If you're on the login screen, you won't see it yet.

Is my username the same as my player tag?

No. Your username is the name you choose and can change. Your player tag is a unique code starting with # that never changes and is assigned when you create your account. Both identify you, but they're different things.

What if I can't find the edit button next to my username?

The edit button only appears if you're logged into an account you own. If you're viewing someone else's profile, you won't see an edit option. Make sure you're tapping your own avatar, not another player's. Also check that you haven't already changed your name in the last 30 days — you can only change it once per month.

Does my username show up in battle replays?

Yes. When you watch a battle replay, both players' usernames appear at the top of the screen. This is how other players can find you if they watched you play — they see your username in the replay and can search for it.

Can I have the same username as someone else?

Yes. Clash Royale allows multiple players to have the same username. This is why player tags exist — they're the only truly unique identifier. If you're searching for someone and multiple results appear with the same name, use their player tag to find the right person.
