Each order is accompanied by a limited-edition, gold-packaged Big Mac Sauce. To elevate the matchday ritual, the meal includes one of nine collectible cups highlighting international soccer icons such as Christian Pulisic, David Beckham, Ronaldinho, Thierry Henry, Son Heung-Min, Lamine Yamal, Alphonso Davies, and Santiago Gimenez, alongside the brand’s own legend, Grimace. A breakfast lineup featuring the Sausage McMuffin with Egg or Sausage Egg Biscuit and Hash Browns will also be available.

Following the initial launch, McDonald’s will shift its focus to younger fans and collectors. Starting June 9, the FIFA World Cup 26 Happy Meal will arrive featuring a collaboration with Squishmallows. Each Happy Meal will include one of 23 exclusive plushies, including the official mascots for the tournament representing host countries Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The plush characters are kitted out in unique soccer-inspired jerseys and McDonald’s graphics.

The McDonald’s FIFA World Cup 26 Meal drops on June 4 across U.S. locations, followed by the Squishmallows Happy Meal release on June 9 via participating McDonald’s restaurants.
