Valheim Server List

The busiest public Valheim servers, ranked by the players we see on them. Each one shows whether it needs a password and which game version it runs, because Valheim only lets you join a server on your own version.

What these counts mean

Claimed communities plus 300 unclaimed servers listed from Steam's public server list, counted by unique map endpoint.

Missing counts are unknown, not zero. Snapshot: 2026-10-04T15:17:15+00:00. Counts describe server sessions, not unique people.

About the Valheim server list

Where the servers come from

We read Steam's public Valheim server list every few hours and keep the busiest servers: up to 300 that have had three or more players in at least half of our checks over the last week. Servers still using a default name are left out, and a server drops off after 14 days without players.

Why most servers have a password

Valheim makes every public dedicated server set a password of five or more characters, so a password does not mean a server is private. Communities usually share it on their Discord. Servers we have confirmed need no password are marked Open, and you can show only those.

Claimed communities

Owners claim a server by putting a short code in its name for a few minutes. Once we see it, they can add a description, rules, how to get the password and a Discord link, and show above unclaimed servers.

How to choose a Valheim server

Match the version

Valheim only lets you join a server running the same game version as you. Each listing shows the version its server reports.

Open or password

Most public servers need a password, and communities share it on their Discord. Use the Open filter to join one straight away.

Look at the busiest hours

The player charts show whether a server is busy when you play, not just right now.

Co-op or PvP

Most Valheim servers are co-op. Claimed communities say whether players can fight each other.

Check the world settings

Communities change combat, resources and raids with world modifiers. Claimed listings describe theirs.

Join the Discord first

It is where you get the password, the rules and a feel for the community before you sail.

Valheim server list FAQ

How is this Valheim server list ordered?

By the players we observe on each server. Claimed communities appear first, then unclaimed servers, busiest first. Sponsored Server placements are labelled and never change this order.

Why do so many Valheim servers need a password?

Valheim requires every public dedicated server to set a password of at least five characters, so nearly all of them have one. It does not mean the server is private: communities usually share the password on their Discord.

Where do the player counts come from?

From Steam's public Valheim server list and the server's own public query. A count older than 15 minutes is not shown: a missing count means unknown, not zero. We never collect player names.

How do I join a server from this list?

In Valheim, choose Join Game, open the Community tab and search for the server name, or use Join IP with the address on the server page. Enter the password when asked, and make sure your game version matches the server.

How do I add or claim my Valheim server?

If it is listed, open it and click "Claim this server", then put the short code we give you in your server name (-name in your start script) for a few minutes. As soon as we see it, the server is yours. If it is not listed, use "List Your Valheim Server" with its IP address and port. Listings are free.

Does TopServer.Network host Valheim servers?

No. We compare hosting providers. If you want to run your own server, see our Valheim server hosting comparison.
