McDonald's confirms popular item will return in 2026 and become permanent
The Big Arch burger, featuring two British/Irish beef patties and a signature sauce, will be a permanent menu item due to strong customer demand in McDonald's UK and Ireland outlets.
- McDonald's confirmed The Big Arch will return permanently across UK and Ireland from Monday, January 5, 2026, available in restaurants and via McDelivery.
- After its summer debut, fans and reviewers noted the Big Arch quickly became a favourite, with McDonald's saying customers 'voted with their feet' during earlier limited runs.
- Pairing two 100% British and Irish beef patties, the burger now costs 8.79 for the burger and 10.69 for a medium Big Arch meal, built with white cheddar and Big Arch sauce in a poppy and sesame-seed bun.
- As seasonal offerings end, some Christmas and Grinch seasonal items like Frozen Grinch Lemonade are expected to be phased out ahead of McDonald's January 2026 menu overhaul.
- McDonald's says the Big Arch is designed for big hunger moments, featuring two Quarter Pounder beef patties and positioned as a larger alternative to the Big Mac.
