'''Extra Monster Zones''' (エクストラモンスターゾーン ''Ekusutora Monsutā Zōn'', abbreviated {{Ruby|ＥＸ|エクストラ}}モンスターゾーン in [[card text]]) are the 2 [[Monster Zone]]s in the center of the [[field]] in which [[Monster Card|monsters]] [[Summon]]ed from the [[Extra Deck]] can be placed. These Monster Zones were introduced with the release of ''[[Starter Deck 2017]]'' in the ''[[OCG]]'' and ''[[Starter Deck: Link Strike]]'' in the ''[[TCG]]''.

According to the [[Master Rules|New Master Rule]], if a monster is [[Special Summon]]ed from the [[Extra Deck]], it must be placed in either a [[Main Monster Zone]] a [[Link Monster]] [[points to]] or an Extra Monster Zone. With the introduction of the April 2020 Master Rule Revision, this restriction only applies to Link Monsters and face-up Pendulum Monsters in the Extra Deck.

If a monster is Summoned from a location other than the Extra Deck, even if it is an Extra Deck monster, it is Summoned in a [[Main Monster Zone]]. If control of a monster in an Extra Monster Zone is changed, it is placed in a Main Monster Zone, even when returning control to its [[owner]]. If a monster in an Extra Monster Zone is temporarily [[banish]]ed, when it [[return]]s to the field it is placed in a Main Monster Zone.

While an Extra Monster Zone is unoccupied or when a monster is about to be Summoned to that Extra Monster Zone, that zone is not treated as being part of either player's [[field]]. While a player controls a monster in an Extra Monster Zone, that zone is considered to be part of that player's field. If a player already controls a monster in one Extra Monster Zone, they cannot Summon a monster in the other Extra Monster Zone unless there is an [[Link#Extra Link|Extra Link]] to the other Extra Monster Zone.

However, even if the opponent controls both Extra Monster Zones due to an Extra Link, this does not prevent the player from Special Summoning to an Extra Monster Zone by using a monster in one of the Extra Monster Zones as [[Material]] (e.g. [[Special Summon]]ing "[[Chimeratech Fortress Dragon]]" using an opponent's Machine-Type Link Monster in the Extra Monster Zone as a [[Fusion Material]]).
