McDonald's Breakfast Menu, Prices & Hours (2026)

What time does McDonald's breakfast end?

McDonald's breakfast ends at 10:30 a.m. at most U.S. restaurants. Some stores keep serving until 11 a.m., most often on Saturdays and Sundays.

McDonald's itself says co-ops and franchisees choose the window, and that breakfast usually runs from the time a restaurant opens until 10:30 or 11 a.m. local time. That is why two stores in the same town can switch menus at different times. Opening time is also set locally, so an early-opening store gives you a longer breakfast window than one that opens at 7 a.m.

The registers flip to the lunch menu right at the cutoff, so plan to order a few minutes early. The easiest way to check is the McDonald's app. Pick your store, and if breakfast items still appear and can be added to a pickup order, the kitchen is still serving them. Once they disappear, lunch has started. Our McDonald's hours guide covers lunch times and holiday schedules.

Does McDonald's have breakfast all day?

No. McDonald's offered all-day breakfast nationally from 2015 to 2020, then dropped it so kitchens had room for the regular menu again.

A few stores still bend the rules. A Tasting Table writer found one Portland, Oregon, location that sold McMuffin sandwiches all day, while biscuits, bagels, McGriddles and burritos stopped at the cutoff. That is a local choice, not a company policy, so treat it as a pleasant surprise rather than something to count on. If you want a McMuffin at 2 p.m., call or check the app first.

Is McDonald's serving breakfast right now? If it is before 10:30 a.m. where you are, almost certainly yes, as long as the store is open. Between 10:30 and 11 a.m., it depends on the store and the day.

What is on the McDonald's breakfast menu?

How much is McDonald's breakfast?

Most McDonald's breakfast sandwiches cost about $2.50 to $5.50 in 2026, and a full platter runs about $6 to $8. The cheapest complete breakfast is the $4 Breakfast Meal Deal.

Prices are set by each franchisee, so treat the figures in the table as typical U.S. ranges, not a quote. The Sausage McMuffin sits on the Under $3 Menu and was spotlighted at $1.50 in spring 2026. An Egg McMuffin is often reported near $6 in pricier areas, though many stores charge closer to $4.50. A Sausage Burrito usually costs about $2.49.

How much is the Big Breakfast at McDonald's? Expect about $6.29 for the Big Breakfast (eggs, a biscuit, sausage and Hash Browns) and about $8.19 for the Big Breakfast with Hotcakes. City, airport and highway stores charge more. Delivery menus also run higher than the counter, so check the in-app price for your store before you order.

What McDonald's breakfast deals are there right now?

The best McDonald's breakfast deals in fall 2026 are the $4 Breakfast Meal Deal and the Under $3 Menu, both part of McValue. App offers can sometimes beat both.

• $4 Breakfast Meal Deal: a Sausage McMuffin or Sausage Biscuit with Hash Browns and a small McCafé Premium Roast coffee. The McMuffin version totals 545 calories. McDonald's labels both versions limited time, and prices and participation vary.
• Under $3 Menu (breakfast): Sausage McMuffin, Sausage Biscuit, Sausage Burrito, Hash Browns and a medium Premium Roast coffee, launched nationally on April 21, 2026.
• MyMcDonald's Rewards: you earn 100 points per $1. In August 2026, a Sausage Biscuit cost 2,000 points, a Sausage Burrito or Sausage McGriddles 3,500, and a Sausage McMuffin with Egg or Hotcakes 5,000.

You usually cannot stack an app deal with a reward on the same item, so compare both before you pay. For how the deal stacks up against other chains, see our fast food breakfast hours guide and the full McDonald's deals page.

Which McDonald's breakfast is the lightest or most filling?

The Egg McMuffin is the lightest breakfast sandwich at 310 calories with 17 grams of protein. The Big Breakfast with Hotcakes is the heaviest item at 1,340 calories.

If you want something filling without the platter, the Sausage McMuffin with Egg (480 calories) and the Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles (550) sit in the middle. Fruit & Maple Oatmeal has 320 calories. Hash Browns add 140 to any order, and a small Premium Roast coffee adds almost nothing until you add cream and sugar.

Biscuits and McGriddles carry more calories than McMuffins with similar fillings, because the bread does. A Sausage Biscuit has 460 calories against 400 for a Sausage McMuffin. For full numbers on the rest of the menu, see our McDonald's nutrition guide.
