A new Trade Fest is currently running in Monopoly GO, and it changes one of the most restrictive daily limits in the game. From July 8, 2026 at 08:00 UTC until July 10, 2026 at 07:59 UTC, every player gets 10 sticker trades per day instead of the usual 5. If you are chasing the last few stickers you need to finish the Simpsons album before it closes on July 29, 2026, this event is one of the best trading windows you will get for the rest of the season. Below is a full breakdown of the current window, how the doubled limit really works, the historical rewards Trade Fest has delivered, and a step-by-step plan for making the most of the 48 hours you have left.
Trade Fest is a recurring, weekend-only event that doubles your daily sticker trading capacity in Monopoly GO. Under normal rules, players can trade up to 5 stickers per day with friends and communities. During Trade Fest, that limit rises to 10 trades per day, giving you twice the chances to swap duplicates you do not need for the specific stickers you are still missing from the current album.
The event is a recurring one that has appeared multiple times across recent album seasons, and it is typically timed to align with the closing weeks of an active sticker album. That timing is intentional. As players get closer to completing a season, the missing stickers become harder to find, and the standard 5-trade limit can become a real bottleneck. Trade Fest is Scopely's way of giving collectors a burst of extra room to finish what they started, without dropping the daily cap permanently.
Once the event closes on July 10 at 07:59 UTC, the daily trade limit resets to 5 per day. Scopely has not confirmed the next Trade Fest window at the time of writing. Based on how the event has been rolled out across recent album seasons, if you are trying to finish the Simpsons album on time, this is the Trade Fest closest to the July 29 season deadline, so it carries more weight than a mid-season event would.
The mechanic is straightforward. Each day during Trade Fest, your trade counter starts at 10 instead of 5. Every completed trade, whether you send a sticker to a friend or receive one from them, counts toward the daily total. The counter resets at 00:00 UTC each day of the event, so you effectively get two full 10-trade days across the 48-hour window if you space out your trades. In practice, this means up to 20 trades if you use the full allocation on both July 8 and July 9.
Trades made during Trade Fest do not carry over to the next day, so unused trades from July 8 are gone once the day rolls to July 9. Plan your swaps to spread across both event days rather than trying to burn all 10 in a single session. The counter is per-account, so switching devices does not reset it.
What makes Trade Fest more than just a mechanic tweak is how Scopely has been pairing it with promotional payouts. One notable example was Monopoly GO Dough Fest, a real-world pop-up event held at The Truman Brewery in London on September 27 and 28, from 09:00 to 17:00 UTC. Dough Fest ran alongside a Trade Fest window and gave attendees exclusive in-game reward codes on top of the doubled trade limit.
Players who attended Dough Fest and redeemed the promotional codes reported receiving a bundle that included 1,000 dice, a Wild Sticker, a Swap Pack, a Purple Sticker Pack, a limited-edition Doughnut-style Token, and 2 hours of Sticker Boom. While Trade Fest itself does not automatically give out those rewards, it is worth watching Scopely's official channels during Trade Fest weekends because promotional codes tend to drop mid-event and expire quickly.
Trade Fest is one of three sticker-focused events players tend to plan their week around. Understanding how it differs from the others helps you decide when to spend trades and when to save them.
The optimal play during a Trade Fest weekend is to use Sticker Boom windows to generate new duplicates for trading material, then use the doubled Trade Fest limit to exchange those duplicates for the specific stickers you actually need. Running both events on the same day is one of the highest-value setups Scopely offers.
The current Simpsons album closes on July 29, 2026 at 8:59 AM PT. That gives you roughly three weeks after this Trade Fest window to finish 23 sticker sets and 207 total stickers, including 2 Prestige sets and 34 golden stickers. If you are still missing 15 or more stickers from the higher-star sets, using this Trade Fest window aggressively is likely the difference between finishing the album on time and missing the deadline.
If you are further behind on the album with a large number of 4-star and 5-star sticker gaps remaining, plan to top up your inventory through direct sticker purchases before the next Sticker Boom event so you have trade material ready to swap the moment the doubled limit resets each day.
How often does Trade Fest happen?
Trade Fest is a recurring weekend event. Scopely has run it multiple times across recent album seasons, and past windows have tended to line up with the closing weeks of the active album.
Do unused trades roll over to the next day?
No. Any unused trades from July 8 are lost at the daily reset on July 9. Plan to use your full 10-trade allocation each day.
Can I trade stickers from any album?
Only stickers from the currently active album can be traded. Stickers from past albums cannot be exchanged.
Are Wild Stickers affected by Trade Fest?
No. Wild Stickers are not tied to the trade limit and can be converted into any missing sticker at any time, regardless of whether Trade Fest is active.
Does Trade Fest give me extra stickers to trade with?
No. Trade Fest only doubles the trade limit. You still trade from your existing sticker inventory, so having spare duplicates ready before the event helps you make the most of the extra slots.
When is the next Trade Fest after July 10?
Scopely has not confirmed the next Trade Fest window at the time of writing. Watch the in-game event calendar and official Monopoly GO channels for the next announcement.
Can I combine Trade Fest with Sticker Boom for better results?
Yes, and it is the highest-value setup. Use Sticker Boom windows to farm new duplicates, then trade those duplicates for the specific stickers you need under the doubled Trade Fest limit.
Trade Fest doubles your trading speed, but it does not create stickers you do not already have. If you are missing specific high-tier Simpsons stickers to complete your album and cannot find the exact swaps you need in the community, itemd2r stocks the full Simpsons sticker lineup across every star tier with same-day delivery. Combining direct sticker purchases with Trade Fest swaps is the fastest way to close out the album before the July 29, 2026 season deadline.
