November is a month of change on the McDonald’s UK menu — the World Menu Heist items finish on 16 November and the festive menu lands on 20 November — but the deals keep rolling. A free weekend drink runs all month, a £3-off app offer ends on 1 November, and MyMcDonald’s Rewards points can be swapped for Duolingo and cinema perks. Here’s every offer worth knowing about, when each one ends, and how to claim it.
Free large Coca-Cola every Thursday to Sunday (until 26 November)
The month’s most accessible freebie: spend £5 on food and drink and get a free large Coca-Cola, every Thursday to Sunday, running from 3 October to 26 November 2026. That covers every weekend in November up to the 26th — the last qualifying weekend is Thursday 26 November itself (a Thursday).
The £5 threshold is easy to clear — a Saver Menu burger and fries will do it — and the offer is redeemed through the McDonald’s app. As with all app offers, check that it is showing in your Rewards & Offers section before you order, since availability can vary by restaurant.
£3 off a £15 app spend — ends 1 November
Act fast on this one: McDonald’s is offering £3 off a £15+ spend via the app, available every day up to and including Sunday 1 November. That means this deal is only live for the first few days of November — if you’re reading this after the 1st, it has already ended.
To claim it, download the McDonald’s app, head to the Deals section, add the offer to a mobile order of £15 or more, and pay through the app. It can be redeemed once per day during the offer period, and you must be 18 or over and signed in to MyMcDonald’s Rewards. Note that the offer applies to food and drink items only — delivery and service fees don’t count towards the £15 minimum.
The £9.99 Family Combo — last days
The £9.99 Family Combo Deal launched on 19 October for two weeks, exclusively through the McDonald’s app for pick-up or delivery. That puts its final days at the very start of November — if it’s still showing in your app, grab it before it disappears.
Full contents of the bundle were never published on McDonald’s public website, so treat the details as provisional and check the app’s offers tab for exactly what’s included at your local restaurant. A sub-£10 family bundle is one of the cheapest ways to feed a group this autumn, and at that price it is well worth a look while it lasts.
Meal Deal Plus: £5.59, every day
The everyday value anchor hasn’t gone anywhere. Meal Deal Plus — a main, a medium side, a medium drink and a bonus side — is still £5.59 at participating restaurants, daily from 11am until closing. You don’t need a code or voucher: just ask staff for the £5.59 meal deal, or order it via the kiosk or app.
The maths still works out: buying the same items separately costs around £8. The Snack Wrap (£1.99 on the Saver Menu) can be picked as both the main and the bonus side, which makes two Snack Wraps plus fries and a drink for £5.59 one of the best-value combos on the menu right now. For the full breakdown, see our Meal Deal Plus guide.
MyMcDonald’s Rewards: Duolingo, ODEON and free food
November is a good month to spend your points — two limited-time redemptions are running:
- 2,000 points = 3 months of Super Duolingo, running from 20 October to 16 November. If you’re learning a language (or keep meaning to start), this is a genuinely useful swap for points you’d otherwise spend on fries.
- 750 points = 50% off a standard ODEON ticket, available until 2 November. The offer covers a standard 2D film and can be redeemed through the ODEON website, app or in cinemas. Another one to use in the first days of November before it expires.
And the standing Rewards ladder still applies: you earn 1 point per penny spent, and at 1,500 points you can claim a free small fries, medium salad, regular McCafé, Mini McFlurry, hash brown or regular drink. New app users also get 1,000 bonus points on their first mobile order when they download and register — a small number of restaurants are excluded.
McDelivery: £5 off a £20+ order
Ordering in? McDonald’s is running a spend £20 or more, get £5 off offer on McDelivery orders placed through the McDonald’s app. It’s a one-time-use offer, so save it for a bigger order — a family dinner or a group order is where the £5 saving actually stings the least on fees. The expiry date is shown on the e-voucher in your app’s Rewards & Offers section, so check yours before planning around it.
Remember that delivery fees (from £0.99), a service fee of up to 10% of the basket capped at £2.99, and a £1.50 small-order fee on baskets under £10 apply to McDelivery orders — and those fees don’t count towards the £20 threshold.
November menu dates that affect your order
Deals aside, two menu dates shape what you can actually buy in November:
- 16 November: the remaining World Menu Heist items finish — including the McExtreme, Chicken McWings, Mac & Cheese Triangles, S’mores McFlurry and the two international McMuffins. Try them before they go.
- 20 November: the festive “Merry Grinchmas” menu launches, with the Big Tasty back at £5.79 (£7.59 as a medium meal), Cheese Melt Dippers, festive McFlurries and two brand-new items. See our festive menu prices guide for the full line-up.
Between 17 and 19 November there’s a short gap with no limited-time menu — a good window to use up Rewards points on everyday favourites instead.

How to make sure you actually get the deal
App offers are not automatic. Open the McDonald’s app, go to Rewards & Offers, tap the offer you want, and add it to your order before paying. Offers can’t be combined with each other, and they can’t be used on orders made through third-party delivery apps — only orders placed in the McDonald’s app itself. If an offer isn’t showing in your app, it isn’t available at your restaurant or your account, however widely it has been reported.

FAQs
What is the best McDonald’s UK deal in November 2026?
The free large Coca-Cola with a £5 spend every Thursday to Sunday until 26 November is the easiest win — no points needed and a low threshold. If you order for a group, the £5 off a £20 McDelivery order saves more in cash terms.
Does the £3 off £15 offer still work in November?
Only until Sunday 1 November. After that date it has expired, so check your app rather than assuming it’s live.
Can I use two McDonald’s app offers at once?
No — promotional offers can’t be combined. Pick the one that saves you most on your specific order.
Is the £9.99 Family Combo still available in November?
It launched 19 October for two weeks, so it runs into the first days of November only. Check the app’s offers tab — if it’s not showing, it has ended.
Do McDonald’s Rewards points expire?
Yes — points remain valid for 6 full calendar months plus the first day of the following month from when they were earned. The November redemptions above (Duolingo, ODEON) have their own earlier end dates, so use them first.
The bottom line
November’s deals reward speed: the £3-off and Family Combo offers end in the first days of the month, the ODEON perk ends 2 November, and the Duolingo swap ends 16 November. The free weekend Coke runs all month until the 26th, and Meal Deal Plus at £5.59 remains the everyday fallback. Check the app before every order — that’s where the live offers actually live.
