Weekly events

Every week, Clash of Clans runs events that let you earn resources and other valuable rewards. Here is the verified calendar for January 2026 — always cross-check the in-game Events tab, as dates can shift slightly.

Equipment Blast event

January 2026’s headline limited-time event is Equipment Blast. Its event currency is Dynamites, which you spend on Relic Medals — the best opportunity of the season to catch up on hero equipment if you missed some. Watch the event shop for the exact offers, and spend Dynamites before the event ends.

Medal Event — January 9

On January 9, a Medal Event arrives with a free scenery up for grabs, plus a chance to catch up on hero equipment through event medals. Log in that day, clear the event tiers, and claim the scenery before it rotates out.

Clan Games and Clan War Leagues

The recurring monthly staples are live all month: Clan Games (everyone contributes points, everyone claims rewards from the track, including gems and books) and Clan War Leagues (weekly ranked wars with league medals for war wins and performance). Both stack on top of the limited-time events.

End of month: Gold Pass and season wrap-up

The last days of January also close out the Desert Nights Gold Pass season: finish the reward track, claim the Desert King skin and the scenery, and bank your league medals before the February reset.

Weekly challenges

Alongside events, Clash of Clans runs weekly challenges to keep things exciting. These include specific objectives like winning a set number of battles or destroying particular structures. Completing them pays out gems, elixir and even books of building.

Rewards to collect

Rewards are at the heart of these events. Every challenge and every win comes with several payouts. Here is an overview of what you can expect:

Gems: always prized. Use them to speed up builds or buy items in the shop.
Resources: elixir, gold and dark elixir flow freely during event weeks. They are essential for upgrading troops and defenses.

Exclusive items and boosts

Exclusive items: some events offer items you cannot get anywhere else — hero skins, unique scenery or special decorations that can transform your village’s look.
Temporary boosts: during events, attack or defense boosts can be active, giving you a real strategic edge — plan your wars around them.

Get ready for January 2026

To make the most of these events, stay active in your clan, communicate with members, and plan your strategies. Adapt to the different challenges each week and maximize your gains. Consider strengthening your defenses before big war pushes, and share tips with your clanmates.

January 2026 is a packed month on Clash of Clans. Whether you are a beginner or a veteran, there is always something to learn and improve. Gather your troops, sharpen your strategies, and get ready to dominate the battlefield. Good luck to all.
