In this guide
Some of the best fast food deals of the year are tied to unofficial food holidays and big shopping days. Chains don’t take part every year, and offers are often announced at the last minute, but knowing the dates helps you catch them.
Food holidays to watch
| Date | Occasion | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| May (all month) | National Hamburger Month | Burger chains sometimes run month-long promotions. |
| May 28 | National Burger Day | One of the most popular days for burger deals. |
| June 22 | National Onion Ring Day | Occasional deals on sides. |
| July 13 | National French Fry Day | Fry deals are common across chains. |
| July 24 | National Drive-Thru Day | Some chains highlight drive-thru and app offers. |
| September 18 | National Cheeseburger Day | A big day for burger promotions. |
| November 3 | National Sandwich Day | Sandwich deals at many chains. |
These are unofficial observances, listed on the dates most commonly used in the US. A date on this list does not guarantee that Burger King will run a deal.
Shopping events
- Black Friday and Cyber Monday: restaurants sometimes run app-only deals or gift card promotions.
- The holiday season: gift card bonuses, such as a bonus card when you buy a set amount, are common across restaurant chains in December.
- Big sports events: some chains tie offers to major games and tournaments.
How to catch the deals
- Turn on BK app notifications and follow the official accounts.
- Check the Offers section the day before and the morning of each date.
- Read the terms. Many holiday deals are app-only, limited to one per account or require a minimum purchase.
- Go early. Popular one-day deals can get busy, and some end when supplies run out.
Don’t fall for fake holiday coupons
Food holidays are popular with scammers too. A post promising a free burger for everyone in exchange for sharing it or entering personal details is almost always fake. Real deals show up in the official app or on the brand’s official accounts. See our guide on how to spot fake promo codes.
We’ll update our deals page
