What Is the Clash Royale Season Checklist?

The Clash Royale Season Checklist is a free, no-login tool that puts every limited-time event of the current monthly season on one screen — each with its start date, end date, reward, and a checkbox you can tick when you finish it. Right now it tracks Season 87 “Minion Academy” (September 7 – October 5, 2026) and its 11 items, from the 2v2 League to the season-long Academy Antics Album that unlocks Minion Giant for free. Your checks save to your browser automatically, so the page remembers your progress every time you come back, and it resets cleanly when the next season starts.

Why Does the Season Checklist Exist?

Every Clash Royale season packs 10–12 overlapping limited-time events into a 4–5-week window, and each one has a different deadline. The in-game Events tab only shows what is live right now — there is no forward calendar and no memory of what you have already completed. That is how players miss a free Hero unlock window, let a seasonal shop expire before claiming its free Evolution, or forget a Clan Voyage their clan was counting on. This checklist exists to be the one thing the game does not give you: a single, dated, forward-looking view of the whole season plus a record of what you have done. It turns “what am I supposed to be doing this week?” into a glance.

Who Is the Season Checklist For?

  • Free-to-play players chasing the season’s free card or Hero — in Season 87 that is Minion Giant (free only through the Academy Antics Album, since it stays out of chests until Season 88).
  • Completionists collecting every League Badge, Tournament Badge, and Top-10K Leaderboard Finisher Badge before each window closes.
  • Returning and busy players who only log in a few times a week and need to know, fast, what is live, what is ending soon, and what they have already cleared.
  • Clan leaders coordinating Clan Voyage windows this season, who can export a dated reminder list to drop straight into clan chat.

What Can the Season Checklist Help You Do?

  • Never miss an expiring reward. The countdown on each card (“3d left,” “Starts in 2d”) flags what is about to close so the free Hero, badges, and cosmetics do not slip away.
  • Prioritize your time. Events are grouped into Active Now, Upcoming, and Ended, so you spend your limited play sessions on the highest-value windows first.
  • Track real progress. A live progress bar shows how many of the season’s events you have completed — a satisfying push toward 100%.
  • Share a reminder. The Export Reminder button copies a clean, dated list of active and upcoming events to your clipboard for clan chat, a notes app, or a calendar.

How Do I Use the Season Checklist?

Scroll the list, tap the checkbox on any event you have finished, and the progress bar updates instantly. Everything is grouped by status — Active Now first, then Upcoming, then Ended — and your ticks persist in your browser, so you can close the tab and return mid-season without losing anything. For the meta context behind these events, pair this with the Season 87 Minion Academy guide, and use the Pass Royale Calculator to plan which rewards are worth your crowns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Clash Royale Season Checklist?
The Clash Royale Season Checklist is a free, no-login tracker that lists every limited-time event in the current monthly season with its start date, end date, and reward, plus a checkbox for each so you can mark what you have finished. It is currently loaded with Season 87 ("Minion Academy," September 7 – October 5, 2026) and its 11 trackable items, and your progress saves to your browser between visits.
When does Clash Royale Season 87 (Minion Academy) end?
Season 87 "Minion Academy" runs September 7, 2026 through October 5, 2026 (a 4-week season). The first hard deadline is the 2v2 League on September 21; everything else — Princess Gambit (Sept 21–26), Clashroom (Sept 22–26), Royale Shuffle (Sept 21 – Oct 5) and its Battle Banner challenge (Sept 28 – Oct 5) — sits in the second half. The Academy Antics Album runs the full season.
How do I unlock Minion Giant for free in September 2026?
Minion Giant is not in chests until Season 88, so the only free route in Season 87 is the Academy Antics Album Event (Arena 3+, September 7 – October 5). Collect up to 3 daily-reward Snippets per day, trade 4 Duplicates for 1 guaranteed-new Unique Snippet, and rely on the final week (September 29 – October 5), when every daily Snippet is Unique. Completing the album pays 1,750 Minion Giant cards plus an emote and a tower skin.
What events are running in Season 87?
Season 87 has 11 trackable items: the Academy Antics Album (all season, free Minion Giant) and its Unique-guaranteed final week, the September 1 bug-fix adaptation window (no balance changes this season), 2v2 League (Sept 7–21, up to 2 badges), Princess Gambit Global Tournament (Sept 21–26), the new Royale Shuffle mode (Sept 21 – Oct 5) and its Battle Banner challenge (Sept 28 – Oct 5), the Clashroom community event (Sept 22–26), unlocking Hero Ice Wizard (Pass Royale or 200 Hero Coins), plus recurring Crown Chase and Clan Voyage systems.
What is Royale Shuffle in Season 87?
Royale Shuffle is the new game mode introduced in Season 87: each battle picks a random mode from 12 classic variants (Triple Elixir, Super Troop Showdown, Sudden Death, Rage Battle, Heist, Snowball Bombardment, Mega Monk, Blackout, 4-Card Clash, Capture the Mortar, Dragon Hunt, All Evo Showdown) and hands you a random deck. It runs September 21 – October 5, and the Royale Shuffle Challenge (September 28 – October 5) awards a Battle Banner frame and decoration.
Who is the season checklist for?
The checklist is built for free-to-play players chasing the season's free Hero, completionists collecting League and Tournament badges, returning or busy players who log in only a few times a week and want to know what they missed, and clan leaders coordinating Clan Voyage. Anyone who has ever let a Crown Chase or album event expire unclaimed is the target user.
Is the Season 87 checklist saved between visits?
Yes. Your checked events save to your browser’s localStorage under the key season-checklist-87 and load automatically when you return — no account or login needed. Clearing your browser data resets the checklist, and a fresh checklist loads automatically when the next season begins.
