McDonald’s is officially bringing back its Monopoly promotion to the United States this October after years of not doing it.

The fast food chain confirmed the long-awaited return on social media with a post reading: “M0N0pOLY OCTOBER!!! 1-844-GT-URBAG…. YOU MIGHT WANNA DOWNLOAD MCD APP.”

In a statement to Dexerto, McDonald’s said: “The thrill of the ‘peel’ is back by fan demand! The Monopoly Game at McDonald’s will ‘pass GO’ and make its highly anticipated return to participating U.S. restaurants in October 2025. We can’t wait to share more details on when and how to play as we get closer to game time.”

Previous history of McDonald’s Monopoly

The Monopoly Game has been one of McDonald’s most recognizable promotions, first introduced in 1987. Customers collect game pieces from menu items for chances to win prizes, from free food to larger cash rewards.

While it has regularly appeared in markets around the world, U.S. fans have waited years for its return. This October marks the first time the Monopoly promotion will be available at participating restaurants across the country since around 2018.
