McDonald’s has extended its $5 Meal Deal once again.

For how long will McDonald’s $5 Meal Deal be available?

Initially launched in June as a limited-time offer, McDonald’s $5 Meal Deal was first extended through fall last September. Two months later, the fast-food giant announced that it decided to extend the promotion again through the summer of 2025, but this time as part of a wider value platform called McValue.

For the uninitiated, the $5 Meal Deal includes a choice of either a McDouble or a McChicken sandwich, a four-piece order of Chicken McNuggets, small fries, and a small soft drink.

What’s included in McDonald’s new McValue menu platform?

In addition to the ongoing $5 Meal Deal, McDonald’s McValue menu platform includes exclusive in-app offers, local food and drink deals, and a brand new “Buy One, Add One for $1” offer on popular items for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

“When it comes to value, we know there’s no one-size-fits-all. We’ve worked closely with our franchisees to create a new platform that will let our customers define value on their own terms,” said Joe Erlinger, President of McDonald’s USA, referring to the McValue in a press release. “From deals on their personal go-to order to universal favorites like the $5 Meal Deal, we’re excited to give fans more ways to save every time they visit one of our restaurants.”
