Clash of Clans July 2026 — Barbarian's Odyssey Season & Full Events Calendar
Summer Jam is back with month-long resource boosts, CWL kicks off July 1st, and the Unlimited Hero Event returns mid-month. Here's the full July 2026 schedule week by week.
July's Barbarian's Odyssey season is live, and it's a farmer's month: Summer Jam runs nearly the entire month with rotating resource quests, backed up by a 1-gem lab boost, an Unlimited Hero Event, and Clan Games to close things out. Here's the week-by-week breakdown.
Week 1 (July 1–7): CWL and Gold
- Clan War League (July 1–11) — sign-ups are at the very start of the window as always. If your clan isn't running CWL, you're skipping the month's biggest medal payout. New to leagues? Read our CWL guide.
- Summer Jam: Gold Quest (July 1–8) — the first Summer Jam phase boosts Gold farming. Time your defence upgrades around it.
Week 2 (July 8–14): The Lab Discount
- 1-Gem Goblin Researcher (July 8–22) — the standout value of the month. Two full weeks of speeding up laboratory upgrades for a single gem. If you've been sitting on a long troop upgrade, this is when to burn it down.
- Summer Jam: Elixir Quest (July 8–15) — phase two shifts the boost to Elixir, which pairs perfectly with the cheap lab.
- Mini Spotlight (July 8–17)
Week 3 (July 15–21): Hero Week
- Unlimited Hero Event (July 15–22) — hero downtime restrictions are lifted, so you can war and raid with heroes that would normally be sleeping in an upgrade. Combined with June's Hero Journey system, this is the best hero-grinding window of the summer.
- Summer Jam: Dark Elixir Quest (July 15–22) — and conveniently, the DE boost lands the same week. Stack it with the hero event and push those hero levels.
- Treasure Hunt Event (July 16–21)
Week 4 (July 22–28): Clan Games Finish
- Clan Games (July 22–28) — the usual clan-wide push. If your clan struggles to max Clan Games, that's one of the clearest signs it's time to find a more active one.
- Summer Jam: Everything Quest (July 22 – August 1) — the final phase boosts all resources at once to close out the month.
What This Month Means for Clan Hunters
July is one of the best months of the year to judge a clan before committing. Between CWL in week one and Clan Games in week four, an active clan has two loud, visible tests this month — and a dead clan has two loud, visible failures.
If you're shopping for a new home:
- Check how a clan's CWL went — its league is factored into every activity score on ClashScout
- Watch the rising clans list toward the end of the month; clans that smash Clan Games and CWL in the same month climb fast
- Or just get matched to recruiting clans at your Town Hall level
Happy farming — and if your clan castle is still empty after week one, you know where to look.
