Diamond League
The Diamond League is the highest in the Duolingo leaderboard. Only 5 users are relegated to the Diamond League.
Winning the Diamond League is quite hard and Learners need to be on their A-game to stay in it.
XP totals are often in the thousands so do more lessons to avoid being demoted.
Diamond Tournament
If you wish to qualify for the Diamond Tournament, you must finish in the top 10 of the Diamond League.
This is during a week that the Diamond Tournament is running. Remember the tournament does not run each week.
A notification ‘Top 10 Qualify For Tournament’ will be seen on your leaderboard to reveal that the tournament is set to commence.

However, if it says “The next Tournament is starting soon” then there are no tournaments that week.
If you qualify for the Diamond Tournament, you need to pass the 3 weekly stages:
- Quater-finals
- Semi-finals
- Finals
Users with the lowest XP totals are eliminated while users with most XP progress to the next stage.
In the Finals, there will be a showdown between the top two-week XP earners. The winner from them will be declared as the Diamond Tournament Champion.
If you win the third Diamond League Tournament, remember competition is tough as all the Diamond League competitors are quite tenacious and will earn thousands of points to be the Champion.
Duolingo league ends between 22:00 and 01:00 on Sunday night/Monday morning. A new league will begin after the last one finishes.
If you complete your first lesson first thing on a Monday, You’re going to be placed in a leaderboard.

A word of advice, the League system is just a bit of fun, however, you should be more focused on learning the language.
The league system will not be an asset in your learning process as it is just for gamification.
A solid streak is more helpful as it shows you’re developing a strong language-learning habit, which will be more beneficial in the long run.
