TL;DR

Major restaurant chains like McDonald's and Auntie Anne's are launching soccer-themed menu items and bundles to capitalize on the 2026 FIFA World Cup's massive North American audience. Various franchises are offering special deals, limited-edition menu items, and promotions to elevate the game day experience.

The FIFA World Cup is one of the globe’s biggest sporting events, drawing soccer fans to 16 host cities across North America to watch their favorite teams play. The U.S. alone has 62.5 million soccer fans, making it the world’s fourth-largest soccer fan base, according to Nielsen.

Franchise brands are tapping into that excitement with sponsorships, nostalgic marketing campaigns and one-of-a-kind promotions to elevate the game day experience. Fast-food franchises like McDonald’s, Auntie Anne’s (above), Domino’s and more are doing their part by helping guests stay fed at watch parties with great deals and special menu items.
