3 March 2026 was the US launch; no Big Arch price and no calorie count have been published since.
No McDonald's Big Arch price has been published, and checking in August 2026 found the burger absent from the US full menu altogether. Its product address returns an error, while a second address redirects to the menu index. The US launch was 3 March 2026, as a limited-time offer. Calories are missing for the same reason: the company states none for an item it is not currently selling.

If something goes wrong
The Big Arch is not on the ordering screen
- Cause
- It arrived in the US on 3 March 2026 as a limited-time offer, and by 19 August 2026 it had gone from the full menu. Limited runs end quietly, without an announcement.
- Fix
- Check the app with a restaurant selected. Where the burger is absent there, it is absent from that restaurant.
A price of about $13 keeps turning up in searches
- Cause
- Coverage around the launch reported a figure near $13 in one state. A single market is not a national price, and McDonald's has published none for this burger in either form.
- Fix
- Treat the $13 as an anecdote from launch week. Nothing on this page repeats it as a recorded figure.
A 1,020-calorie figure appears on other pages
- Cause
- That number circulates alongside a 395 gram weight. Neither came from McDonald's US site, which carries no calorie sentence for the Big Arch, so the calorie cell above stays empty.
- Fix
- Wait for the product page to return and read the figure there, where the count belongs to the company.
Two different web addresses lead to different places
- Cause
- One product address returns an error and the other redirects to the full menu index. That pairing is what a withdrawn product looks like on a large site.
- Fix
- Use the full menu page as the test. An item missing from it is not being sold nationally.
A burger with no price, and why that is the honest answer
Every other page in this section opens with a figure. This one cannot, and the reason is worth setting out plainly rather than papering over with an average borrowed from somewhere else. On 19 August 2026 the Big Arch was not on McDonald's US full menu. Its product address returned an error. A second address for the same burger redirected to the menu index, which is what a large site does when a page is retired rather than deleted.
History explains the gap. The burger reached the US on 3 March 2026 as a limited-time offer, following runs in other markets, and limited items are withdrawn without ceremony once the window closes. Participation is a franchisee decision too. Roughly 95% of US restaurants under the brand are operated by franchisees, so even during the offer some boards carried it and others did not.
What's in it?
Less can be said here than on any other page in this section, and inventing the difference would be worse than admitting it. McDonald's US site carries no build description, no ingredient list and no nutrition sentence for the Big Arch, because it carries no page for it at all. What survives is the shape of the thing: a large burger, sold at a premium to the standard line, offered for a fixed period. A 1,020-calorie figure and a 395 gram weight circulate for it. Neither is a company figure, which is why the table above leaves the calorie cell empty instead of borrowing one.
Is it worth it?
Nobody can answer that today, because nothing is being sold. The useful version of the question is what to expect if the burger returns. Launch coverage put it near $13 in one state, which would place it above every burger recorded on this site: the Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese at a typical $8.99 is the current ceiling, with the Big Mac at $5.99 well below it. A returning Big Arch at that level would be an occasional order rather than a lunch habit.
Two habits help while an item sits in limbo. Watch the full menu page rather than a product address, because withdrawn products keep their addresses long after they stop being sold, and returning items show up on the menu index first. Then check the app with a restaurant selected, since a national relaunch still reaches restaurants at different speeds. This page was checked on 19 August 2026 and will carry a price the day one is published.

Questions people ask
How much is the Big Arch at McDonald's?
There is no answer with a source behind it. McDonald's has published no US price for the Big Arch, and checking on 19 August 2026 found no product page to read one from. Launch coverage mentioned a figure near $13 in a single state.
Is the Big Arch still available in the US?
Not on the national menu. The burger arrived on 3 March 2026 as a limited-time offer and had left the US full menu by August 2026. Limited runs sometimes return, and a return would show on the menu index first.
How many calories are in a Big Arch?
No figure has been published for it in the US. A 1,020-calorie count and a 395 gram weight circulate elsewhere; because neither comes from McDonald's, this page leaves the cell empty rather than repeating them as fact.
Why does this page have no price when other pages do?
Prices here are recorded from published US listings, and an item nobody is selling produces no readings. Publishing an average for a withdrawn burger would look precise and mean nothing.
Is this page an official McDonald's price list?
No. HelpMeLogin is independent of McDonald's and does not publish menus on its behalf. This page records what the company's US site showed on 19 August 2026, which for the Big Arch was nothing at all.
Can this site tell me the price at my local McDonald's?
No. About 95% of US restaurants are franchised, so prices and limited-time participation are decided restaurant by restaurant. The app is the only place a real figure appears.
