McDonald’s Monopoly Is Back: Win a Trip for 4 to Universal Orlando!
Get ready to channel your inner real estate mogul—and maybe land your next dream vacation! McDonald’s Monopoly is officially making its long-awaited return on October 6, 2026. This year, the iconic game is going back to its classic roots with physical packaging peels while streamlining every win through the McDonald’s App.
Whether you are craving a Quarter Pounder with Cheese or an Egg McMuffin, your meal could be your ticket to incredible prizes—including major travel experiences, cash, brand-new vehicles, and plenty of free food.
McDonald’s is keeping the classic experience fans love—peeling game pieces straight off their food packaging—while bringing the tracking into one convenient digital space.
How to Play:
- Pre-Register: Download the McDonald’s App, opt into MyMcDonald’s Rewards, and pre-register for the Monopoly game before ordering.
- Peel: Grab eligible menu items starting October 6 and peel the game piece stickers on the packaging.
- Scan: Use the McDonald’s App scanner to instantly redeem free food, bank property pieces, or enter Chance Card mini-games.
Bonus Play Pro-Tip: Pre-register in the app before ordering! You will receive a Bonus Chance Card in the app for every eligible item purchased via mobile order or by scanning your Rewards code at the Drive-Thru, counter, or kiosk through November 1.
Every peel gives you a shot at four distinct reward types:

| Chance Cards | Scan to unlock instant digital plays for gift cards (Grubhub, Uber Eats, Ulta Beauty), $50,000 toward a home down payment or student loan payoff, or cash prizes up to $1 Million. |
