When are the CRL World Finals 2026?
CRL World Finals 2026 are 6–8 November in Shanghai. Play starts 03:00 UTC (11:00 Shanghai) each day; Mohamed Light vs Jorz opens the bracket.
6–8 November 2026, in Shanghai, China. That is the CRL World Finals 2026 date in the official 2026 Clash Royale League competition rules (Quantum Studios / CRL, §5.5): “The 2026 Clash Royale League World Finals will take place in Shanghai, China, from November 6 to November 8.” The dated calendar — seasons, LCQ, and this weekend — is the CRL 2026 schedule. This FAQ keeps the same answer for people who land on a question URL.
Each day, doors open at 09:00 and play starts at 11:00 Shanghai time (UTC+8) — 03:00 UTC, which is the evening before in the Americas. The start time in your time zone and the opening bracket are on the schedule page; Mohamed Light beat Jorz 2–1 in the opening match. The hall is the Shanghai Huangpu Inner Bund Culture Center. Tickets sell only through UUTIX, the seller Supercell named, and were sold out when we checked on 29 October 2026; prices, the waitlist, and the real-name rules are on the Shanghai World Finals page. DeckBeacon is an unofficial fan site and does not sell tickets.

The date is not the decks
