Fast food burgers hit the sweet spot of flavor and convenience, but those weekly drive-thru stops can take a toll on your budget. Sure, grocery aisles are packed with fast–food–inspired alternatives, but nothing satisfies quite like the real thing. That’s what makes limited-time freebies from your favorite chains so irresistible, especially when they involve a classic burger at zero cost.
This July, Burger King is delivering just that: a full month of crave-worthy giveaways, including its signature flame-grilled Whoppers, completely free.
Your Guide to Every Burger King Freebie This July
July isn’t just any month—it’s National Grilling Month, and Burger King is firing up the celebrations with a month-long parade of flame-grilled specials. Unsurprisingly, their iconic Whopper is taking center stage in these sizzling deals.
Throughout July, prepare to indulge in an array of free treats, including cheeseburgers, Whopper Jr. burgers, fried chicken, French fries, and even sweet desserts. The deliciousness kicks off on Friday, July 4, as BK brings back its beloved Flame-Grilled Fridays for National Grilling Month. Every Friday this month, simply make a purchase of $1 or more at participating locations to score a free Whopper Jr., Rodeo Burger, Cheeseburger, or Hamburger.
But the grilling month isn’t the only reason for these fantastic deals. Burger King is also marking other food holidays this July. On July 6, National Fried Chicken Day, you can snag a free Royal Crispy Chicken sandwich with any purchase of $5 or more, provided you order ahead.
Then, on July 11, which happens to be both Free Slurpee Day and National French Fry Day, BK is dishing out free fries. This fortunate coincidence means that since National French Fry Day falls on a Friday, you can even pair your free fries with a free Whopper, as long as you meet the minimum $1 purchase for each.
And because no fast-food experience is complete without dessert, you can cool off with a free soft serve cup or cone on July 20, National Ice Cream Day, with any purchase of $1 or more. Feeling creative? Use your dollar to buy a soda and combine it with your free soft serve for a DIY Burger King ice cream float!
