How to find an active Clash of Clans clan
Search a clan finder that measures activity rather than trophies. ClashScout scores every one of the 5M+ clans it tracks from 0 to 100 on how many members actually played, donated and used their war attacks, so you can filter for clans that are genuinely alive before you apply. 26,759 currently score 60 or higher.

Why the in-game search will not help you
Clash of Clans lets you search by name, location, required trophies, war frequency and clan level. Every one of those keeps its value after a clan dies. A clan can sit at level 20 with 45 members, none of whom have opened the game in a month, and it will still appear above a busy clan that happens to be newer.
There is no in-game signal for "are these people still playing". You find out after you join, which costs you a clan hop and sometimes a week of waiting for a war that never starts.
What active actually means
Activity is measurable, and it comes down to four things you can check on any clan:
- Donations. How much of the roster has given troops this season, not the clan total. One generous player can carry a dead clan's total.
- War attacks used. A clan that wars every week but leaves a third of its attacks unused is not the clan its description claims.
- Members playing recently. The share of the roster whose own numbers moved in the last fortnight.
- Whether it stays full. Constant churn and a roster stuck at 30 of 50 usually mean people arrive and leave.
ClashScout works those into one score out of 100 for every clan it tracks, so a list of clans can be sorted by how alive they are. You can see the same ingredients on any clan page if you would rather judge them yourself.
Finding one in about two minutes
- Open Recruiting Now, which lists clans whose leaders have said they are looking for members, or Browse Clans for everything.
- Filter to your town hall level, and to your language or country if that matters to you.
- Sort by activity score and ignore anything under 50.
- Open two or three clans and read the war record and the donation split, not the description.
- Apply through the clan page, or copy the tag and search it in the game.
If you would rather clans came to you, add yourself to the Looking for Clan board and leaders can find you by town hall and playstyle.
Back for Town Hall 19?
Supercell says Town Hall 19 lands in mid-November 2026. If you are coming back for it, check your old clan before you look for a new one: paste your player tag into the returning players check to see its activity score now, with three active clans recruiting at your town hall.
If it has gone quiet, the TH19 recruiting page already lists clans that will accept you once you upgrade.
Active clans recruiting right now
Pulled from the site as this page was built, sorted by activity score. There are currently 67 clans listed as recruiting by a verified leader.
Common questions
How can I tell if a clan is active before I join?
Look at four things: how many members donated this season, whether war attacks get used, how full the clan is, and when members were last seen playing. A clan with 50 members where only ten have donated is not an active clan, whatever its description says. ClashScout combines those into a single activity score so you do not have to check them one at a time.
How do I check if my old clan is still active?
Paste your player tag on the ClashScout returning players page. It shows the clan you are in now with its activity score out of 100, and three active clans recruiting at your town hall.
What is a good activity score?
Above 60 means most of the roster is playing and donating. Above 80 is a clan where nearly everyone is active and war attacks rarely go unused. Below 30 usually means a clan that is still full of accounts but has stopped playing together.
Why does in-game clan search not show activity?
Clash of Clans search ranks clans by trophies, level and required trophies. None of those change when a clan stops playing, so a dead clan with a high level and 45 members looks identical to a busy one. That is the gap a clan finder fills.
Is ClashScout free to use?
Yes. Searching clans, reading activity scores and applying to clans are all free and do not need an account. Leaders can pay to feature a clan at the top of the browse pages, which is marked as advertising and never changes the rankings.
How often is the data updated?
Clan rosters and scores are refreshed on a rolling cycle every day, and any clan you open is checked against the Clash of Clans API as you load it. Each clan page shows when it was last synced.
