January 2026 is shaping up to be a huge month for Monopoly GO players, especially those deep into the Harry Potter sticker season. Among all the limited-time events, Golden Blitz remains the most anticipated — because it’s the only chance to trade normally locked gold stickers.
If you’ve been sitting on gold duplicates from higher-tier albums or struggling to finish Sets 14–22, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for.
Here’s the confirmed Golden Blitz event players should prepare for:

| Date | Duration | Featured Golden Stickers |
|---|---|---|
| Jan 15-16, 2026 | 24 Hours | Hermione's Arrival (Set 22) & Amortentia (Set 16) |
During this 24-hour window, these two gold stickers become temporarily tradeable — something that almost never happens outside Golden Blitz.
Important: Each player can trade up to 5 copies of each featured gold sticker, making timing and preparation crucial.
If you’ve traded regular stickers before, Golden Blitz will feel familiar — just with stricter rules.
Here’s how it works:
When the event begins, a Golden Blitz notification or icon appears in-game.
Tap it to see which two gold stickers are unlocked for trading.
Only those two stickers can be exchanged during the event.
You can trade a maximum of five copies per sticker.
Send or receive trades with friends to fill missing slots or help others complete albums.
Outside of Golden Blitz, gold stickers remain completely untradeable.
Golden stickers are usually the biggest roadblocks to finishing albums in Monopoly GO. Golden Blitz events turn those roadblocks into opportunities — if you’re prepared.
For collectors chasing full Harry Potter sets or players aiming to maximize seasonal rewards, Golden Blitz isn’t optional — it’s essential.
