We present the first polylogarithmic-round algorithm for sampling a random spanning tree in the (Broadcast) Congested Clique model. For any constant $c > 0$, our algorithm outputs a sample from a distribution whose total variation distance from the uniform spanning tree distribution is at most $O(n^{-c})$ in at most $c \cdot \log^{O(1)}(n)$ rounds. The exponent hidden in $\log^{O(1)}(n)$ is an absolute constant independent of $c$ and $n$. This is an exponential improvement over the previous best algorithm of Pemmaraju, Roy, and Sobel (PODC 2025) for the Congested Clique model.
