McDonald’s Australia Bringing Back McRib and McRib Deluxe from November 18

Screenshot

McDonald’s Australia is bringing back the McRib and McRib Deluxe for a limited time, with both burgers returning on Wednesday, November 18, 2026.

The popular McRib range will be available until Tuesday, January 12, 2027, giving customers nearly eight weeks to enjoy the returning barbecue-flavoured burgers.

The promotion also includes a special McRib-themed breakfast bag, which customers can fold into a miniature McRib bib.

McRib and McRib Deluxe Return to McDonald’s

The McRib is one of McDonald’s most recognisable limited-time burgers, featuring a boneless, rib-shaped pork patty coated in barbecue sauce and served in a long-style bun.

The returning range includes two versions:

• McRib: The classic barbecue pork burger, traditionally served with pickles and onions.
• McRib Deluxe: An upgraded version featuring additional toppings, with the promotional artwork showing lettuce, tomato and cheese.

Both burgers are returning as limited-time menu items rather than permanent additions.

The McRib has developed a following through its occasional appearances on McDonald’s menus, with its barbecue sauce and distinctive pork patty setting it apart from the chain’s regular beef and chicken burgers.

McDonald’s Introduces McRib Breakfast Bag That Folds into a Bib

Alongside the returning burgers, McDonald’s is introducing a novelty breakfast bag featuring McRib BIB artwork.

A limited number of McDonald’s breakfast bags will feature special printed instructions showing customers how to fold the bag into a wearable bib.

The promotion plays on the McRib’s famously saucy barbecue coating, giving fans a playful accessory for eating the burger.

The specially printed bags will only be available in limited quantities, rather than being guaranteed with every breakfast order.

When Is the McRib Available in Australia?

The promotional campaign is advertised from Wednesday, November 18, 2026, until Tuesday, January 12, 2027.

The McRib and McRib Deluxe are expected to be available at participating McDonald’s restaurants during the promotional period, subject to stock.

You can check your nearest McDonald’s restaurant or the MyMacca’s App for local pricing and availability once the range launches.
