What’s new on the McDonald’s menu?
Two changes shape the current menu: a bigger value lineup called McValue and a short-run premium burger called the Big Arch.
What is the Big Arch burger and how much does it cost?
The Big Arch launched in the U.S. on March 3, 2026 as a limited-time burger. It stacks two quarter-pound beef patties, three slices of white cheddar, crispy onions, lettuce, pickles, and a tangy Big Arch Sauce on a sesame bun. The sandwich runs about $6.89 to $10.19 depending on location, and the combo with medium fries and a drink runs about $11.09 to $14.29. Some stores have already pulled it, so call ahead before you drive over. Source: Restaurant Dive.
What is McValue 2.0?
McDonald’s expanded its McValue platform on April 21, 2026 at participating restaurants. It adds three things on top of the existing app deals:
- Under $3 Menu: At least 10 items you can mix and match all day. Lunch and dinner picks include the McChicken, McDouble, 4-piece McNuggets, small fries, and a medium soft drink. Breakfast picks include the Sausage McMuffin, Sausage Biscuit, Sausage Burrito, Hash Browns, and a medium McCafé Premium Roast Coffee.
- $4 Breakfast Meal Deal: A Sausage McMuffin or Sausage Biscuit, Hash Browns, and a small McCafé Premium Roast Coffee for $4.
- $5 and $6 Meal Deals: The $5 deal pairs a McChicken with a 4-piece McNuggets, small fries, and a small drink. Swap to a McDouble and it becomes the $6 deal.
Prices and participation vary by store, and some locations price the meal deals higher. Source: McDonald’s Corporate.

How do you save money at McDonald’s?
Download the McDonald’s app. The app carries daily deals and personalized offers you can’t get at the counter. You can earn free fries, discounted meals, and app-only pricing on popular items.
Mix and match the Under $3 Menu. Ten-plus items sit at $3 or less all day. Pair a McDouble with small fries and a drink and you stay near the price of one combo elsewhere.
Take the $5 or $6 Meal Deal. The $5 deal gives you a McChicken, 4-piece McNuggets, small fries, and a small drink. The $6 deal swaps in a McDouble. Both beat buying the items apart.
Order breakfast for cheaper coffee. A large Premium Roast runs about $1.59, against $4 or more for a specialty McCafé drink. The $4 Breakfast Meal Deal adds Hash Browns and a sandwich for the price of a fancy latte.
Compare the combo against single items. With app discounts on individual items, a build-your-own meal sometimes costs less than the posted combo. Check both before you tap pay.
