Yes, McDonald's has an official FIFA World Cup 26 Meal, and it's the fast-food giant's largest-ever World Cup push. In the United States, the meal launches June 4, 2026; globally, it rolls out across 100 markets starting that day and is available everywhere by June 9—just two days before the opening match on June 11 in Mexico City. Each meal includes your choice of a Big Mac or a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, paired with a limited-edition gold-packaged Big Mac Sauce, plus one of seven collectible cups featuring soccer legends and the beloved mascot Grimace. A breakfast lineup (Sausage McMuffin with Egg or Sausage Egg Biscuit, with Hash Browns) is also part of the offer. On June 9, a FIFA World Cup 26 Happy Meal with collectible Squishmallows toys joins the lineup.
The Seven Collectible Cups

- Alphonso Davies (Canada)
- David Beckham (England)
- Ronaldinho Gaucho (Brazil)
- Thierry Henry (France)
- Heung-Min Son (South Korea)
- Lamine Yamal (Spain)
