McDonald's is serving up a new round of limited-time combos and keepsakes in honor of the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup. The quadrennial international men's soccer championship, jointly hosted across Canada, Mexico, and the United States this year, is set to begin on June 11 with an opening match between Mexico and South Africa at Mexico City Stadium.
New Meal Offerings
In celebration of the event, McDonald's has announced its FIFA World Cup 26 Happy Meal and Meal, available at participating U.S. restaurants throughout June. For the adult meal option, which launched on June 4, customers can choose between a Big Mac or a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets box, paired with limited-edition, gold-packaged Big Mac Sauce. For breakfast, fans will also receive a soccer-themed freebie when ordering a Sausage McMuffin with Egg or a Sausage Egg Biscuit with Hash Browns.
Collectible Cups and Toys
When ordering either the adult meal or breakfast, customers will receive one of nine collectible cups featuring Grimace, McDonald's fluffy purple mascot, or one of eight soccer icons: Christian Pulisic, David Beckham, Ronaldinho Gaucho, Thierry Henry, Son Heung-Min, Lamine Yamal, Alphonso Davies, and Santiago Gimenez. Starting June 9, the FIFA World Cup 26 Happy Meal will include one of 23 Squishmallows plushies, with three toys honoring the host nations—Canada, Mexico, and the United States—and others wearing tournament-inspired jerseys representing international teams.
Morgan Flatley, Global Chief Marketing Officer and Head of New Business Ventures at McDonald's, stated: "At McDonald's, magic happens when families, friends, and fans come together and celebrate with the people they love. Partnering with the FIFA World Cup 26 allows us to take that shared joy and bring it to life at a global scale through our food, experiences, and the ways fans connect with the game. As football icons take the field to unite fans across continents, McDonald's will be there from the first whistle to the final minute with limited-time meals and keepsakes so fans of all ages can be part of the excitement all tournament long and beyond."
Christian Pulisic, captain of the U.S. Men's National Team, added: "Growing up, it was our ritual after soccer tournaments to go to our McDonald's near Hershey, Pennsylvania, for Chicken McNuggets and a McFlurry. Those memories were a core part of my childhood and an experience I still share with my teammates today. To now be featured on a McDonald's collectible cup all these years later is a full-circle moment."
The promotion is expected to run through mid-July, when the World Cup concludes, or until supplies are exhausted.
