McDonald’s Breakfast Hours: When Does Breakfast Start and End?
McDonald’s breakfast usually runs from opening until 10:30 or 11 a.m. local time. Lunch starts at the changeover. Franchisees and their regional co-ops set the cutoff, so two McDonald’s in the same city can switch at different times.
| Typical time | |
|---|---|
| Breakfast starts | When the restaurant opens |
| Breakfast ends | Usually 10:30 or 11 a.m. local time |
| Lunch menu starts | At the breakfast changeover |
| Who sets the time | Each restaurant and its regional co-op |
| How to check your store | Pick your restaurant in the McDonald’s app; it shows the menu being served |
Does McDonald’s still serve breakfast all day?
No. McDonald’s launched All-Day Breakfast nationally in October 2015 and dropped it in 2020, saying a shorter menu simplified kitchens and improved speed and order accuracy. Breakfast items are now sold only in the morning.
McDonald’s Breakfast Meals (Combos): What’s Included
Every McDonald’s breakfast meal pairs a main item with Hash Browns and a small McCafé Premium Roast Coffee. Meals run from 450 calories (Egg McMuffin Meal) to about 820 (Steak, Egg & Cheese Bagel Meal); the Sausage Burrito Meal is the only one with two mains.
| Meal | Main item | Calories | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Egg McMuffin Meal | 1 Egg McMuffin | 450 | $8.19 |
| Sausage McMuffin with Egg Meal | 1 Sausage McMuffin with Egg | 620 | $8.99 |

| Steak, Egg & Cheese Bagel Meal | 1 Steak, Egg & Cheese Bagel | 820* | $10.99 |
Calories are McDonald’s own meal totals with black coffee. *Calculated by us from McDonald’s item data (sandwich plus Hash Browns), because McDonald’s doesn’t publish a total for bagel meals. Swapping the coffee for a medium Minute Maid orange juice adds 190 calories. Typical prices are reported online and vary by restaurant.
McDonald’s Breakfast Deals: $4 Meal Deal and Under $3 Menu
Since April 21, 2026, the McValue menu has two breakfast deals at participating restaurants: a $4 Breakfast Meal Deal and an Under $3 breakfast menu with five items. They are the cheapest ways to eat breakfast at McDonald’s.
$4 Breakfast Meal Deal
- Sausage McMuffin or Sausage Biscuit
- Hash Browns
- Small McCafé Premium Roast Coffee
That is 540 calories with the McMuffin or 600 with the biscuit. At the typical prices on this page, buying the same three items separately costs about $7.50 to $7.75, so the deal saves roughly $3.50.
Under $3 breakfast menu

|---|---|
| Sausage McMuffin | 400 |
| Sausage Biscuit | 460 |
| Sausage Burrito | 310 |

Egg-free picks
Sausage McMuffin, Sausage Biscuit, Sausage McGriddles, Bagel (plain), Hash Browns, Fruit & Maple Oatmeal.
Hash Browns
They contain wheat and milk from the natural beef flavor, so McDonald’s says they are not gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan.
Oatmeal
The only breakfast item without wheat, but McDonald’s says it is not gluten-free and it contains milk from the light cream.
Breakfast Drinks at McDonald’s
A small McCafé Premium Roast Coffee comes with every breakfast meal, and a medium cup is on the Under $3 menu. You can also choose iced coffee, an Americano, orange juice, milk or hot chocolate.

New, Limited-Time and Regional Breakfast Items

Gone from the US menu: the Egg White Delight McMuffin and the 2025 Spicy Sausage McMuffin, which ran for a limited time from July 2025.
A Short History of McDonald’s Breakfast
McDonald’s didn’t serve breakfast until the early 1970s. One franchisee’s sandwich, the Egg McMuffin, started the breakfast menu Americans know today.
| Year | What happened |
|---|---|
| 1971 | Santa Barbara franchisee Herb Peterson creates a breakfast sandwich inspired by eggs Benedict, swapping the hollandaise for cheese |
| 1972 | The sandwich, now the Egg McMuffin, goes into test markets for 63 cents |
| 1975 | The Egg McMuffin finishes rolling out nationwide |
| 1977 | McDonald’s adds a full breakfast menu nationally, including hotcakes, scrambled eggs, sausage and hash browns |
| 2003 | McGriddles launch in the US |
| 2015 | All-Day Breakfast launches in October |
| 2020 | All-Day Breakfast ends |
| 2026 | The $4 Breakfast Meal Deal and Under $3 menu arrive on April 21 |
How to Order McDonald’s Breakfast Smarter
A few habits get you a better breakfast for less money: order before the changeover, use the McValue deals, and customize in the app.
- Beat the cutoff. Breakfast stops at your restaurant’s changeover time, not when the line clears, so order a few minutes early.
- Start with the $4 Meal Deal. It costs less than any regular breakfast combo at typical prices.
- Ask for a round egg. You can request the fresh-cracked round egg from the McMuffins instead of the folded egg on a biscuit, McGriddle or bagel; whether it’s available, and any extra charge, depends on the restaurant.
- Trim calories easily. Skipping the cheese or butter, or choosing an English muffin over a biscuit, cuts calories without losing the protein.
- Check the app first. Mobile Order & Pay shows the menu your restaurant is serving right now, plus app-only deals and MyMcDonald’s Rewards points.
