Will the McRib return to McDonald’s in 2024? Here’s what we know

So much for the farewell tour. McDonald’s is bringing back the famous McRib sandwich.

For now, only restaurants in the United Kingdom have the sandwich on their menus, but American fans may not have to wait too long as the sandwich will likely return to local McDonald’s locations before the end of this year.

The McRib sandwich, which features seasoned boneless pork slathered in barbecue sauce with onions and pickles, made a comeback in Britain this week for a limited time. Since its initial debut in 1981, the McRib has appeared and disappeared from the menu repeatedly since then.

If McDonald’s US President Joe Erlinger is any indication, the McRib is ready for a comeback. Over the summer, Erlinger told the Today Show that the sandwich will make a resurgence “later this year.”

The sandwich has already been confirmed for a November return in Illinois. Last year, McDonald’s locations in Ohio also brought back the McRib around mid-November, so it’s possible the iconic sandwich could make its way to a McDonald’s near you as early as next month.

In the meantime, fans can keep an eye on the McRib’s whereabouts using the McRib Locator, which tracks McRib sightings around the world. In the meantime, the limited-time Chicken Big Mac can tide you over until the beloved barbecue sandwich makes a comeback.
