As the nation gears up to celebrate its 250th anniversary this Fourth of July, the excitement is palpable. The America250 festivities have already introduced a delightful array of themed products, from red, white, and blue birthday cake-flavored Cheerios to collectible Coca-Cola cans, each adorned with designs inspired by the 50 states. Major restaurant chains are also joining the celebration, with Cracker Barrel unveiling three festive treats and Wienerschnitzel launching a $2.50 value menu complemented by exclusive America250 merchandise.
But the summer of celebration doesn’t stop at birthday barbecues. The United States is preparing to take center stage as it hosts the 2026 FIFA World Cup, an event that has captured the attention of brands from Lay's to Keebler, all eager to partake in the global excitement. Now, McDonald's, one of the world's most recognized fast-food chains, is stepping into the spotlight with a partnership that soccer enthusiasts won’t want to overlook.
Introducing the FIFA World Cup 26 Meals
This June, the Golden Arches will transform as McDonald's launches its exciting new FIFA World Cup 26 meals. These offerings include both a FIFA World Cup 26 adult meal and a FIFA World Cup 26 Happy Meal, the latter created in collaboration with the beloved Squishmallows brand.
For the adult meal, customers can indulge in a choice of either a Sausage McMuffin with Egg or a Sausage Biscuit with Egg paired with a Hash Brown during breakfast hours. For lunch or dinner, the meal features either a classic Big Mac or a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets. Adding to the allure, the meal will also reintroduce the fan-favorite Big Mac Sauce dip cups, making their return for the first time since 2023. This special sauce will be presented in a limited-edition gold cup, available only while supplies last.
Moreover, no McDonald's meal is complete without a collectible. Each FIFA World Cup 26 Meal will include one of nine exclusive cups featuring legendary soccer icons. The lineup includes Christian Pulisic, David Beckham, Ronaldinho Gaucho, Thierry Henry, Son Heung-Min, Lamine Yamal, Alphonso Davies, Santiago Gimenez, and, of course, Grimace, ensuring fans will have a piece of soccer history to take home.
A Special Treat for Young Fans
For the younger soccer aficionados, the FIFA World Cup 26 Happy Meal takes the excitement up a notch. In partnership with Squishmallows, these Happy Meals are sure to drive families to the drive-thru. Each Happy Meal comes with a choice of a hamburger, a 4-count McNugget, or a 6-count McNugget, accompanied by fries, apple slices, and a drink. But the real treasure lies in the 23 collectible plush toys, which feature the FIFA mascots from the host nations—Canada, Mexico, and the United States—each donned in special soccer jerseys featuring McDonald's branding.
Limited-Time Offer
Mark your calendars! The FIFA World Cup 26 Meal will be available at participating McDonald's locations starting June 4, while the FIFA World Cup 26 Happy Meal will launch on June 9. Both offerings will be available for a limited time throughout the summer, making them the perfect treat to enjoy between matches as you cheer on your favorite teams.

With the FIFA World Cup on the horizon, this limited-time offering promises to be a delicious way to celebrate the spirit of the game.
