McDonald's continues to refresh its UK menu with new items and returning favorites, introducing changes every six weeks. This year has seen the launch of the Friends Meal in February, McGriddles, and the recent Xbox-inspired Side Missions menu. The World Heist, an annual event, has returned, bringing menu items from Canada, Australia, Germany, India, China, and the Netherlands to the UK. These global additions reflect McDonald's strategy to offer diverse and exciting options to its customers. In September 2026, the Dawn Raid introduces two new breakfast items from Australia: the Chicken & Egg McMuffin and the Chicken & Bacon McMuffin. These items feature crispy chicken, egg, cool mayo, and cheese in a toasted English muffin, with the latter including bacon. Both will be available from September 22 until November 16. Also launching in September is the Big Rösti, a £6.99 burger from Germany. It includes a beef patty, crispy potato rösti, bacon, cheese, and a special sauce, served in a toasted bun. Available until October 19. From Canada comes the Maple & Cheddar Chicken, a dish featuring a crispy chicken breast with cheddar cheese, onions, lettuce, tomato, and a maple mustard sauce. It will be available from September 22 until October 19. Mac & Cheese Triangles, a popular side from the UAE, return for the World Heist 2.0, offering a classic tomato dip. These will be available from September 22 until November 16. Additionally, Paprika McShaker Fries from the Netherlands come with a smoky paprika seasoning and a shaker bag, available until November 16. Other new items include the Szechuan Sauce, a sweet and spicy sauce with a mild heat, and the S’mores McFlurry, a dessert with marshmallows and chocolate sauce. A tropical beverage, Guava x Sprite Zero, combines Sprite Zero with guava syrup and is available from September 22. The Build-A-Bear Happy Meal features collectible plush keyrings and a redesigned box, available from September 22. These additions highlight McDonald's ongoing efforts to keep its menu fresh and engaging for a wide range of customers.
