Chick-fil-A keeps its core menu small, so seasonal items get a lot of attention. Here's everything that has appeared in 2026 so far, starting with what's available now.
Fall 2026 (now available)
Launched nationwide for a limited time on August 24, 2026:
| Item | Calories | Price seen |
|---|---|---|
| Chicken & Waffles Sandwich (entrée) | 540–710 by filet | ≈ $7.59 |
| Chicken & Waffles Breakfast Sandwich | 440–530 by filet | ≈ $4.95 |

Calories from Chick-fil-A's nutrition page; prices from the restaurant Chowhound reviewed (yours may differ). Full details in our Chicken & Waffles review.
Our take on the fall lineup: it's a sweet menu. The S'mores Milkshake has 100 g of sugar, and the Chicken & Waffles Sandwich has nearly five times the sugar of the original Chicken Sandwich. Reviewers suggest ordering the sandwich with the spicy filet to balance it.
Summer 2026
- Pineapple Dragonfruit drinks: Lemonade, Sunjoy, iced tea, Sprite and Frosted Lemonade (360 calories for the frosted version). Seasonal gallons were $15.25–$15.75 in our sample.
- Peach Milkshake and Peach Frosted Lemonade — limited time through August 22, 2026, priced $4.95–$6.39 in our sample.
Spring 2026
Launched March 9, 2026, at participating restaurants:
- Jalapeño Ranch Club Chicken Sandwich — chicken filet (Original, Spicy or Grilled) with Pepper Jack, candied bacon, lettuce, tomato and pickled jalapeños on a toasted buttermilk ranch bun, with Jalapeño Ranch Sauce. Tested in Salt Lake City in June 2025 before going national.
- Strawberry Hibiscus drinks: Strawberry Hibiscus & Sprite, Lemonade (classic or diet), Frosted Lemonade and Sunjoy.
Test-market items in 2026
Chick-fil-A tests sandwiches in select cities before deciding on a national launch. Through March 7, 2026:
