- The "New Year, New Fire" event is now live in Clash Royale, running till January 5th, 2026.
- With the event, you can unlock Furnace Evolution for free just by progressing through milestones.
Clash Royale is ending the year with some freebies that come as Christmas and Holiday Season delights. With the New Year, New Fire event now live, Clash Royale is giving us a chance to unlock the Furnace Evolution without spending a single gem.
Along with the evolution, the event is packed with rewards, making it one of the better value event tracks we’ve seen in a while, that just requires you to play battles. Let me walk you through exactly how this event works and how you can grab the Furnace Evolution for free.
An overview of the “New Year, New Fire” event in Clash Royale
The New Year, New Fire event is a limited-time reward track that you can progress through by simply playing battles and earning crowns. The event kicked off on the 22nd of December, 2025, and will run for two weeks till January 5, 2026.
As for the rewards, it’s not just about the Furnace Evolution either. The track includes a wide mix of rewards such as banner items, chests, wild cards, trade tokens, emotes, and even a huge gem payout at the end.
The main highlight, of course, is the Furnace Evolution shards, which are spread across the reward track. By collecting all the shards, you unlock the evolution completely.
How to unlock Furnace Evolution for free
To unlock the Furnace Evolution, all you need to do is progress through the New Year, New Fire reward track and collect six Furnace Evolution shards in total. To progress, you just need to play battles, and the rewards unlock.
Here’s how it breaks down:
- The reward track contains six Furnace Evolution shards.
- Each shard is placed at different milestones.
- Once you collect all six, the Furnace Evolution unlocks automatically.
However, this is a game of patience. All the milestones aren’t unlocked, and it will unlock as time goes by, with a maximum waiting up to 8 days from the time of writing to unlock all the milestones.
