CHICAGO, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Get ready to take your chance, no dice needed. MONOPOLY is back at McDonald’s with opportunities for everyday and life-changing wins. Starting Oct. 6 for a limited time, fans can play the game they know and love with a simplified experience and one-of-a-kind prize list.
This year, we’re going all in on the classic peel – what first made MONOPOLY at McDonald’s so iconic. With all the pieces in your hands, fans will now have just one way to peel, with all gameplay done in the app. Peel the game pieces, then scan in the app to cash in instant-win food or loyalty points or play for the biggest prizes – like a $1 million cash prize, a 2027 Jeep® Cherokee, free McDonald’s for a Year (via a $1,040 McDonald’s gift card), and more.
Eligible MONOPOLY menu items span across breakfast, lunch and dinner, with options like the Quarter Pounder® with Cheese, Egg McMuffin®, large fries, large hot and cold drinks and beyond.
Behind the Peel
Fans can peel to reveal four different prize opportunities, and every one of them is a chance to win.
- Instant-Win Food = FREE McDonald’s food like the McChicken®, Snack Wrap®, McGriddles®, shakes and smoothies, small fries and more.
- Instant-Win Loyalty Points = Anywhere from 1,500 to 7,000 MyMcDonald’s Reward Points.
- Collect to Win = Collect a winning combination of property pieces to win an epic getaway like a Carnival® Cruise Vacation or a trip to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. You could also win a 2027 Jeep® Cherokee, a choice of 1 of 3 vehicles from Polaris and more.
- Chance Card = Play the Chance Card Game for your shot to win – from gift cards from brands like Grubhub, Ulta Beauty, Uber Eats and more, to pivotal wins such as $50K Towards a Home Down Payment, $50K Towards College Debt Paydown, and cash prizes ranging from $10k to $1 million.
“MONOPOLY at McDonald’s is more than just a game. It’s about childhood memories, family moments and surprises that make our day,” said Alyssa Buetikofer, Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer of McDonald’s USA. “This year, we’re giving fans even more reasons to play with bigger prizes, more rewards, and a simpler digital game experience that includes the classic peel.”
