McDonald's is bringing back its Monopoly Game after nearly 10 years. See what you can win.

McDonald's is bringing back its Monopoly after nearly a decade, with prizes ranging from $1,000,000 in cash to a 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

After nearly 10 years, McDonald's is bringing back its Monopoly Game, a sweepstakes inspired by the iconic board game. The promotion, which now includes a digital component, gives customers a chance to win free food and prizes from their purchases.

The Monopoly Game, which runs Oct. 6 – Nov. 2, involves game pieces, which consumers gather either by peeling back stickers on in-store items, or through purchases made in the McDonald's app. The game pieces will hew closely to names found on the classic board game — think Park Place, Boardwalk and Atlantic Avenue. Participating customers can win everything from instant prizes, such as a free Quarter Pounder with cheese, to a $1,000,000 cash prize to a 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The odds of winning an instant prize — which consists mostly of eligible food items from the McDonald's menu — is one in five, according to a FAQ page on the McDonald's website.'Our fans have been clamoring for the return of MONOPOLY at McDonald's, and we're thrilled to bring it back with a modern, digital spin,' Alyssa Buetikofer, SVP, chief marketing and customer experience officer at McDonald's, said in statement. 'This game is a core memory for so many customers, and we're excited that those memories can now be shared across generations.'Here's what to know before the game kicks off next week.How do I play?For the 2025 version of McDonald's Monopoly Game, customers must download the McDonald's app to opt into the company's reward's program and then register for the game. Those who pre-register on the app between Sept. 29 and Oct. 5, will get 500 bonus MyMcDonald's Rewards points, according to game rules on McDonald's website. Beginning Oct. 6 and through Nov. 2, registered players can order select menu items to receive game pieces.Physical game pieces can be obtained by visiting a participating McDonald's restaurant in the U.S. or ordering McDonald's delivery.
