Polymarket V2: what changes for traders
Last updated
Polymarket V2 rolls out in three phases: 23 November, 24 November and 1 December 2026. If you use the website or app there is no migration to do; approve the prompts the app shows. Existing positions are not converted and keep trading, settling and redeeming on their current contracts.
No migration needed: just accept the approval prompts.
In the US the international exchange is close-only; Americans use Polymarket US.
Rollout dates
| Phase | Date | Markets moving to V2 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mon 23 Nov 2026, 8:30 AM ET | Selected 5- and 15-minute Up/Down markets; NYC, Warsaw and Munich weather |
| 2 | Tue 24 Nov 2026 | BTC and ETH Up/Down, other crypto, remaining weather, commodities, finance, minor sports |
| 3 | Tue 1 Dec 2026 | Soccer, American football, basketball, tennis, esports, social count markets |
No cutover is scheduled for Thanksgiving (26 November); that week’s NFL and college football games stay on the current contracts. Each phase depends on the previous one trading and settling correctly, so later dates can move.

Your positions
Existing positions are not converted. Markets created before V2 keep their current contracts for trading, settlement and redemption. Your balance is pUSD either way.
What you need to do
On the website or app: nothing technical. Complete any approval prompts the official app shows. Only approve prompts inside polymarket.com; a “V2 migration” link in a DM is a scam.
