What is the maximum length of a Discord server name?

The maximum length of a Discord server name is 100 characters. Discord treats a server as a “guild” internally, but users see and manage it as a server in the app.

This limit applies to the server’s main name, not to every piece of text associated with it. Server roles, channels, categories, nicknames, usernames, and messages each have their own separate character limits. That distinction causes frequent confusion: a 100-character server name is not the same as a 100-character role or channel name.

Discord servers began as community spaces built around gaming, but they now support study groups, open-source projects, fan communities, businesses, and private friend groups. A long name may be technically allowed, yet shorter names are usually easier to recognize in menus, notifications, invite previews, and mobile layouts. Discord’s developer documentation specifies the guild-name range as 2–100 characters, excluding leading and trailing whitespace.
