McDonald’s UK is entering the trading card space with its first original collectible promotion, launching 24 branded cards available nationwide.
The McDonald’s UK CARDS collection brings together well-known brand icons, familiar menu items, and exclusive designs created specifically for the campaign for fans to trade, potentially compete against each other, win prizes, and hopefully grab a signed “legendary Golden Arches card” for themselves.
With an official trailer already released and several cards still being kept under wraps, McDonald’s is ensuring collectors will have a challenge on their hands to grab them all.
When can you get McDonald’s Cards?
The McDonald’s Cards will be dropping in UK restaurants from March 17, 2026, and currently have no end time, meaning you’ll have plenty of time to grab the upcoming releases.
What cards can you get?
A lot of the McDonald’s cards are still under wraps, but we do know a few that’ll be available on release. More are expected to be announced as we get closer to the release date:
- Legendary Golden Arches Card
- Grimace
- Fry Girl
- Cheeseburger Chair
- Milkshake Dip
- McDonalds Multimixer
- Ronald McDonald
Do we know how to get cards?
At the moment, McDonald’s hasn’t revealed exactly how fans can get hold of these cards. However, if it’s anything like their previous promotions with Pokemon cards, we expect to see these inside a certain meal or as a reward for purchasing a specific item on their menu.
It’s worth noting that these trading cards are listed as 18+, so it’s unlikely we’ll see them in a Happy Meal, as that’s mostly designed for children.
