McDonald’s 2024 Pokémon TCG Promotion Delayed for Fall Launch: What to Expect

It’s been confirmed that McDonald’s in France will host their annual Pokémon TCG promotion from December 4th, 2024, through January 21st, 2025.

Historically, France tends to receive their McDonald’s Pokémon sets a month or two after the United States. If this trend continues, we might see the promotion in the U.S. around October or November. The last time it was scheduled during this timeframe was back in 2019, a full five years ago! Usually, it takes place in August or September.

We can expect more information to be revealed in the coming months, so keep an eye out!

Since 2011, The Pokémon Company International has teamed up with McDonald’s annually to offer special promo packs in Happy Meals. These cards are reprints, but they feature new McDonald’s-specific set numbering. The holographic cards are printed on confetti holofoil paper, adding a unique touch to each release.
