Duolingo League Tracker: How Much XP Do You Need This Week?

Put in your league, your XP so far and the cut-off numbers from your app, and this tracker works out how much XP a day you need to move up — or to stay out of the red zone. Everything is worked out in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Your league this week

Fill in what you know from your Duolingo app. The two cut-off boxes are optional, but they turn a rough guess into an exact answer — without them, the tracker uses typical ranges instead.

Which league are you in?

Your XP so far this week

The total shown on your league leaderboard.

Your rank right now (optional, 1–30)

XP of the lowest learner in the green zone (optional)

Your promotion cut-off — the XP of the person on the last green spot.

XP of the highest learner in the red zone (optional)

Your demotion cut-off — the XP of the person on the first red spot.

Days left this week (today included)

XP you usually earn in a day (optional)

Where do I find the cut-offs? Open your Duolingo app and tap the Leagues tab. The green zone at the top is promotion; the red zone at the bottom is demotion. The XP of the learner on the last green spot is your promotion cut-off, and the XP of the learner on the first red spot is your demotion cut-off. Both numbers change every week, so always use this week’s figures.

All 10 Duolingo leagues

Leagues run from Monday to Sunday. You are grouped with 30 learners and ranked by the XP you earn that week. Finish in the green zone and you move up one league; finish in the red zone and you move down one. No fixed XP total decides it — your rank against the other 29 learners is what counts.

League	Move up	Next league	Typical weekly XP*

* Typical weekly XP is a rough range seen in the community, not a Duolingo rule. The same total can move you up one week and miss the next. Always trust the green and red zones in your own app over any number on this page.

How Duolingo leagues work

The weekly cycle

A new league week starts on Monday. You join a leaderboard as soon as you finish your first lesson of the week. The week ends on Sunday night into Monday morning (around midnight UTC, or around midnight in your own time zone). Then you move up, stay put or move down — and a fresh group of 30 begins.

Moving up and moving down

Moving up: finish in the green zone. Bronze moves up the top 20, Silver the top 15, Gold the top 10, Sapphire to Pearl the top 7, and Obsidian the top 5.
Moving down: finish in the red zone at the bottom. In most leagues the bottom 7 (ranks 24–30) move down; in Diamond it is the bottom 5 (ranks 26–30). Sources do not all agree on the exact size of the demotion zone, so check the red zone shown in your app.
In the middle: finish between the two zones and you stay in the same league next week. You only ever move one league at a time — never two.
Demotion Repair: if you are moved down, Duolingo may offer to keep your league for gems (reported at 2,000 gems). It is a one-time rescue, not a plan.

Diamond League and the Diamond Tournament

Diamond is the highest league. There is no promotion out of it — instead, when a tournament week is running, the top 10 in Diamond qualify for the Diamond Tournament. Look for the “Top 10 qualify for the Tournament” message at the top of your leaderboard; if it says “The next Tournament is starting soon”, no tournament runs that week. The tournament lasts 3 weeks in three stages — Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Finals — and the lowest scorers are knocked out each week. Staying in Diamond means staying out of the bottom 5, which usually takes very high weekly XP (learners often report 30,000+ XP, and tournament weeks go far higher).

Getting the most out of this tracker

Check your app on Friday or Saturday — that is when the cut-off numbers mean the most.
Type in the real cut-off numbers from your leaderboard for an exact answer.
Remember your rivals keep earning too. A 100 XP lead on Saturday can vanish by Sunday, so aim a little above the line.

Three quick examples

Try these in the tracker above to see how the numbers move.

Example 1 — chasing promotion in Gold

You are in Gold with 850 XP, the last green-zone learner has 1,200 XP, the first red-zone learner has 300 XP, and 3 days are left. You need 351 more XP — 117 XP a day — and at 120 XP a day you would finish on about 1,210 XP, on track to move up.

Example 2 — holding on in Diamond

You are in Diamond with 28,000 XP, 5 days left, earning about 500 XP a day. There is no promotion from Diamond, so the tracker checks the demotion line instead — and at your pace you would finish on about 30,500 XP, safely in Diamond.

Example 3 — a slow start in Bronze

You are in Bronze with 50 XP after the first day and 6 days left, with no cut-offs typed in. Your pace so far is 50 XP a day, which would leave you on about 350 XP by Sunday — inside the demotion zone, so you would need about 351 more XP just to climb out of the red.

How the maths works

Promotion target. If you typed in a cut-off, the target is that number plus 1 — you have to pass the learner ahead of you, since ties go to whoever got there first. If you left it blank, the tracker uses the middle of the typical range for your league and marks the result as an estimate.
Demotion target. Same idea at the bottom: your number plus 1, or a rough estimate (40% of the low end of the typical range) if you left it blank.
XP still needed. Target minus your XP so far, never below zero.
XP per day. XP still needed divided by the days left, rounded up.
Your pace. Your usual daily XP if you entered one; otherwise your XP so far divided by the days already played.
Projected finish. Your XP now plus your pace times the days left — then checked against both lines to see where you would end up.
In lessons. XP per day divided by about 15 XP per normal lesson, rounded up.

Questions about leagues, answered

How does Duolingo decide who moves up?

By rank, not by a fixed XP total. Each week you are grouped with 29 other learners, and the top few in each league move up. That is why the same XP total can promote you one week and miss the next — it depends on how hard your group is working.

Why does the tracker ask for numbers from my app?

Because there are no fixed cut-offs. The only exact numbers are the ones on your own leaderboard this week. Type them in and the answer is exact; leave them blank and the tracker falls back on typical ranges, which it always labels as estimates.

When is the best time to check my progress?

Friday or Saturday. Early in the week the cut-offs barely mean anything, because most of the XP is still to be earned. By the weekend the lines have settled and the numbers are worth planning around.

What happens if I finish in the middle?

Nothing — you stay in the same league next week. You only move one league at a time, so a middle finish is neither a promotion nor a demotion.

What is the Diamond Tournament?

The top competition in Duolingo. When a tournament week is running, the top 10 learners in Diamond qualify. It runs for 3 weeks — Quarterfinals, Semifinals, Finals — and the lowest scorers are knocked out each week. Not every week is a tournament week, so look for the message at the top of your Diamond leaderboard.

I was demoted — can I get my league back?

Sometimes. Duolingo may offer a Demotion Repair that keeps your league for gems — learners report a price of 2,000 gems. It is a one-time rescue offered in the app, not something you can buy in advance.
