Since many don’t know much about Duolingo Leagues, we decided to write an ultimate guide explaining what it is, and when it is ending.

Without any further ado, let’s get started:

What are Duolingo Leagues?

Duolingo leagues are weekly competitions where users compete against others to earn the highest amount of XP and rise in the Leaderboards.  

League leaderboards are ranked on XP — the user with the most XP finishes top of the leaderboard and will be promoted to the next league.  

List of Duolingo Leagues from highest (Diamond) to the lowest(Bronze)

  • Bronze – Top 20

Many users would love to know all about the timings of the Duolingo Leagues and when their current league will end and a new one will begin.

In this guide, we shall share all about Duolingo Leagues and when they end.

When Do Duolingo Leagues End?

The Duolingo League system ends at a specific time each week. As it ends, each user’s position on the leaderboard is recorded before the commencement of a new cycle.   

One needs to time the entry into leagues. Do try to start later in the week to advance further.  

Duolingo resets the leagues on Sunday at midnight UTC. The Duolingo league generally starts every Monday evening and ends between 22:00 and 01:00 on Sunday night or Monday morning depending on the learner’s time zone. 

Now if you are wondering why there is a difference in league end times. It is as most of the Duolingo users live in different time zones.

What Happens After a League Ends?

As soon as the reset takes place, Duolingo takes certain steps:

  • It updates the League Ranks based on the XP earned in that week.
  • It rewards top performers with XP Boosts, trophies and access to exclusive challenges. 
  • It reassigns players as per their ranks. Top players move up while those who finish at the lower ranks are demoted to lower leagues. 
  •  Post setting up the rankings, a new league cycle of competition begins again.

Knowing the time of the Duolingo League end is a huge help if you are aiming for the Diamond League or trying to stay there.

You can time your XP boosts, complete your last lessons and participate in timed challenges to earn large amounts of XP quickly before the reset.
