After a weekend of playing phone tag to try to track down when the fall 2025 US McRib release will begin, I was able to identify that the large scale release will kick off November 11th, 2025! This timeline matches up with the conclusion of the current Monopoly promotion, and will be about a full month earlier than the start last year. Several of the contacts I made mentioned that this date was on the in-store planning calendar, so confidence is high on this date.

Will this be a nationwide release?

Unfortunately, some locations I called either had no idea when the McRib would return, or indicated they did not believe it would be returning. With such a small window of time before the release begins, it would seem that some markets will opt out of the McRib this season. I had no luck with finding fall 2025 McRib release details in the New England states, as well as some locations in the Mountain States. On a positive note, not all of the Rockies will be without the McRib. The stores I reached in the Denver area indicated the November 11th release date was on their calendars.
