Creating a new Clash Royale account on your device

To start a new Clash Royale account, open the app on your phone or tablet and tap the settings icon (the gear symbol in the top right corner). From there, select "Supercell ID" or "Sign Out" depending on whether you're already logged in. If you're already in a game, you'll need to sign out of your current account first. Once you've signed out, the game will show you login options including the ability to start fresh.

When you launch Clash Royale after signing out, you'll see a screen asking how you want to play. Choose "Play as Guest" or create a new Supercell ID account. A guest account lets you play immediately without any login, but you won't be able to save your progress across devices. If you want to protect your new account and play on multiple devices, create a Supercell ID instead by entering an email address and password.

The game will then walk you through the tutorial, which teaches you the basic mechanics of the card game. You'll unlock your first cards and troops during this tutorial, and you can start playing real matches once it's complete. Your new account begins at Arena 1, the lowest level, regardless of what arena your previous account reached.

Key Takeaways

  • Sign out of your current account through the settings menu (gear icon) before starting a new one.
  • You can play as a guest immediately, but a Supercell ID account lets you save progress across devices and recover your account if you lose access to your phone.
  • New accounts start at Arena 1 and begin with the same starter cards every player receives.
  • The tutorial teaches you how to play and cannot be skipped, but you can start real matches once it ends.

Guest accounts versus Supercell ID accounts

A guest account requires no email or password. You tap "Play as Guest" and start playing within seconds. The downside is that your progress exists only on that specific device. If you uninstall the app, switch phones, or clear your device data, your guest account and all your cards and trophies disappear permanently. Supercell does not back up guest accounts.

A Supercell ID account ties your progress to an email address and password instead of a device. You can log into the same account on your phone, tablet, or a friend's device and see all your cards, trophies, and progress. If you lose your phone or need to reinstall the app, you can recover your account by logging in with your email and password. Supercell ID is free to create and use.

Most players choose Supercell ID because the protection is worth the extra 30 seconds it takes to set up. If you're only testing the game or playing casually on one device you never plan to change, a guest account works fine.

What happens to your old account

Your old Clash Royale account remains on Supercell's servers as long as you don't delete it. If you sign back in with the same Supercell ID or guest account credentials, you'll return to exactly where you left off—same cards, same trophies, same clan membership. Creating a new account does not erase the old one.

You can switch between multiple accounts by signing out and signing back in with different credentials. This means you can have a main account and a practice account, and jump between them whenever you want. Just remember that guest accounts are tied to individual devices, so you can't easily switch a guest account to another phone the way you can with a Supercell ID.

Recovering a lost or forgotten account

If you created a Supercell ID account but forgot your password, go to the Supercell ID login screen and tap "Forgot your password?" Enter the email address you used to create the account, and Supercell will send you a password reset link. Check your email (including spam folders) and follow the link to set a new password.

If you forgot the email address you used, or if you created a guest account and lost access to the device it was on, recovery is much harder. Supercell's support team can sometimes help if you can provide details about your account—your player tag (a unique ID shown in your profile), the approximate date you created it, and proof that you owned the device. You can contact Supercell support through the in-game help menu or at their website.

Playing on multiple devices with one account

Once you've created a Supercell ID account, you can download Clash Royale on any other phone or tablet and log in with the same email and password. Your account will load with all your cards, trophies, and progress exactly as you left it. You can play on your phone in the morning and switch to your tablet in the afternoon without losing anything.

The only limitation is that you cannot play on two devices at the same time. If you're logged in on your phone and try to log in on your tablet, the game will sign you out of your phone automatically. This prevents cheating and keeps your account secure. Wait a few seconds after signing out before logging in elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have more than one account?

Yes. You can create multiple Supercell ID accounts using different email addresses, or create guest accounts on different devices. You switch between them by signing out and signing back in. Keep in mind that guest accounts are device-specific, so you can't easily move them to another phone.

What if I want to delete my account?

Supercell does not offer a self-service account deletion tool in the app. Contact Supercell support through the in-game help menu and request account deletion. They will ask you to confirm your identity before permanently removing your account. Once deleted, the account cannot be recovered.

Do I lose my cards and trophies when I create a new account?

No. Your old account stays exactly as it is on Supercell's servers. Creating a new account is a separate profile with its own cards and trophies starting from zero. You can switch back to your old account anytime by logging in with its credentials.

Is it safe to share my Supercell ID password?

No. Never share your Supercell ID email or password with anyone, including friends or clan members. Anyone with your login credentials can access your account, spend your gems (the premium currency), and make changes to your profile. If you think someone has your password, change it immediately through the Supercell ID website.
