Power League was a competitive mode that was unlocked from the Trophy Road at 4500 Trophies. It replaced Power Play in the March 2021 update. Unlike Power Play, in Power League, you could play an unlimited amount of matches per day. Also unlike Power Play, Star Powers were not required to play a Brawler; rather, any Brawler with a Power Level of 7 or higher could be played. Additionally, in Power League, players could both climb the ranks or drop them depending on if they won or lost.
Power League ranks would be reset in seasons which coincided with Brawl Pass seasons. Every match in Power League granted at least twice as much XP compared to regular matches. Trophies could not be gained or lost in this mode.
Power League was replaced by Ranked in the February 2024 update.
Gameplay
Power League matches were formatted as a best-of-three tournament, where the first team to win two matches won the tournament. Games in a match were played on a single randomly selected mode and map that were picked when players were in queue. Maps could be previewed throughout the matchmaking stages. Both teams had a Team Captain, which in Solo Mode was decided by the player with the highest progression, and in Team Mode was decided by the creator of the game room. Prior to starting the match, each player on both teams would ban a Brawler at the same time without seeing the other team's bans, then players would pick Brawlers in a snake draft format. Players could not pick Brawlers that had already been banned or picked by another player. After all Brawlers were picked, each player had 10 seconds to equip their desired Star Powers, Gadgets, and Gears.
Players were matched based on their current Power League Rank. Solo mode had a hard limit of a +2 Rank difference allowed for the players in the match. Team mode allowed any players with any Rank to play in the team, and the matchmaking was based on the highest Rank player in the team. The higher the Rank of your opponent, the more progress you earned. A player's Rank would decay after every end of Season, with the top 500 players also needing to stay active for the whole duration of the Season in order to retain their Rank. They needed to play at least one match per 7 days or they would lose their progression per inactive week until they weren't listed in the Top 500 anymore. Leaving at any point after the matchmaking began would result in banning the player from Power League for a specific amount of time. Ranking placement for the first Power League season was based on the highest Power Play rating a player had achieved; otherwise players would start at Bronze I.
Rank Rewards
Players were eligible to receive Rank Rewards based on promoting in higher ranks if they had played at least 1 match during the Power League season. Bling rewards were given based on promoting to next rank from either Solo or Team Mode. There was a decay between Seasons that drop a player's League depending on how high a league they were.
Season End Rewards
Players were eligible to receive Season End Rewards if they had played at least 1 match during the Power League season. Star Point rewards were given out based on the highest rank reached from either Solo or Team Mode. There was a decay between Seasons that drop a player's League depending on how high a league they were.
Quests
Seasons included special quests which rewarded players with exclusive Sprays, Profile Icons and skin purchasing options. In the Rumble Jungle update, one Profile Icon reward was replaced with skin-exclusive Sprays. Exclusive skin offers would appear in the Shop for the whole Season duration who meet the unlock condition, and the purchasing option was permanent and available in the Catalog. From the Biodome update onwards, players who did not participate in the Power League Season would be able to purchase them a year later, but they would not unlock the exclusive Sprays and Profile Icons.

Penalties
There were penalties if a player left a match at the Brawler selection screen after the matchmaking. There were several levels of penalties to prevent the player from disconnect many times.
The levels were as followed:
- Level 1: The player would not receive any penalties, but the player received a warning.
- Level 2: The player would be banned for playing Power League for 5 minutes.
- Level 3: The player would be banned for playing Power League for 15 minutes.
- Level 4: The player would be banned for playing Power League for 30 minutes.
- Level 5: The player would be banned for playing Power League for 30 minutes, and the rank score was decreased for about 0.5 ranks.
- Level 6: The player would be banned for playing Power League for 1 hour, and the rank score was decreased.
- Level 7: The player would be banned for playing Power League for 1 day, and the rank score was decreased for about 1 rank.
- Level 8: The Player would be banned for playing Power League for 1 week, and the rank score was decreased for about 2 ranks.
After every disconnection, the penalty level increased by 1. However, every time when the player finished 3 matches without disconnecting, the penalty level decreased by 1.
Reporting System
The Reporting System was a feature that was introduced during the 2022 Season 15 update. This feature allowed the player to report other players from either team at the end of a Power League match for intentionally disrupting the gaming experience for everyone involved, which could lead to temporary Power League bans.
