An edge-colored graph G is conflict-free connected if any two of its vertices are connected by a path which contains a color used on exactly one of its edges. The conflict-free connection number of a connected graph G, denoted by c f c (G), is the smallest number of colors needed in order to make G conflict-free connected. In this paper, we show that almost all graphs have the conflict-free connection number 2. More precisely, let G (n, p) denote the Erdős–Rényi random graph model, in which each of the n 2 pairs of vertices appears as an edge with probability p independent from other pairs. We prove that for sufficiently large n, c f c (G (n, p))≤ 2 if p≥ log n+ α (n) n, where α (n)→∞. This means that as soon as G (n, p) becomes connected with high probability, c f c (G (n, p))≤ 2.
