The FIFA World Cup is almost here, and McDonald’s is getting fans ready.
As Delish reports, starting June 9, the fast food giant is launching a limited-time FIFA World Cup 26 Meal and FIFA World Cup 26 Happy Meal at participating restaurants worldwide. The promotion includes collectible cups featuring some of the biggest names in soccer, a new Golden McFlurry, and an entire squad of Squishmallows dressed for match day.
Let’s start with the collectibles because that’s probably what everyone is going to be talking about.
Each FIFA World Cup 26 Meal comes with one of nine collectible cups featuring soccer stars Christian Pulisic, David Beckham, Ronaldinho Gaucho, Thierry Henry, Son Heung-Min, Lamine Yamal, Alphonso Davies, and Santiago Gimenez. The lineup also includes perhaps the most unexpected soccer legend of them all: Grimace.
Fans can choose between a Big Mac and a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets meal, both served with fries, a drink, and an exclusive gold-packaged Big Mac Sauce.
For breakfast, the meals will include a Sausage McMuffin with Egg or Sausage Egg Biscuit and Hash Brown instead.
And because no major McDonald’s promotion feels complete without a dessert tie-in, the chain is also launching a limited-time Golden McFlurry alongside the campaign.
The younger crowd isn’t being left out either. McDonald’s is introducing a FIFA World Cup 26 Happy Meal featuring one of 23 soccer-themed Squishmallows collectibles. Each plush character wears a custom jersey complete with colors, crests, numbers, and McDonald’s-inspired graphics. The toys also include a scannable code that unlocks a digital soccer game through the Happy Meal website.
