2026 Service Medal: how to get it and how levels work
To earn the 2026 Service Medal you level a CS2 profile to Rank 40 (Global General) by playing on official servers during 2026, then use the option to reset the rank back to 1. The medal is granted on the reset and appears next to your name in lobbies and on the scoreboard in place of the profile rank icon.
Every further Rank 40 reset in the same calendar year upgrades the medal by one level, and each level is a different color of the same design. The 2026 medal has 6 levels, so the top level means the rank was reset at least 6 times within one year: a visible playtime statement, which is why high-level medals are a rare sight in lobbies.
Valve has issued a Service Medal every year since 2015, and each is earnable only during its own year. The 2026 medal is the current one: it stays earnable until the end of 2026, then closes forever. Service medals never reach the market: unlike collectible pins, they cannot be listed on Steam or any third-party site, which is why this page shows no prices.
How do you get the 2026 Service Medal in CS2?
Reach Profile Rank 40 by earning XP in official matchmaking during 2026, then use the option to reset the rank. The medal is granted the moment you reset; each further reset in 2026 raises it one level.
Can you still get the 2026 Service Medal?
Yes. The 2026 medal is earnable until the end of 2026. Once the year ends it becomes permanently unobtainable, like every past year's medal.
Can you buy, sell or trade CS2 service medals?
No. Service medals are bound to the account that earned them and cannot be listed on the Steam Market or any third-party marketplace. That is why this page shows no price comparison: no price exists at any level.
What do the service medal colors mean?
Colors are levels. Every extra Rank 40 reset within 2026 raises the medal one level and changes its color; the 2026 medal has 6 levels. The strip above shows every level's render.
