Nando's Brings “Free Chicken & Chips Day” to All U.S. Restaurants This Friday, June 12

Fans wearing their favorite soccer jerseys can score a free flame-grilled chicken and chips meal, paired with Bukayo Saka’s viral ‘Saka Sauce’

To kick off the summer’s biggest global soccer tournament, Nando's – the South African fast-casual favorite – is launching its first-ever, nationwide Free Chicken & Chips Day this Friday, June 12. For one evening only, any fan who visits a Nando’s restaurant wearing their favorite soccer jersey will receive a free meal of flame-grilled chicken and fries.

• WHEN: Friday, June 12, 2026 | 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM (Local Time)

• WHERE: All participating Nando’s restaurants nationwide (including locations across Atlanta, Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C., Chicago, and Texas).

• PLUS: As an exclusive bonus, guests can add on a side of Nando’s limited-edition “Saka Sauce” – which just made its U.S. debut – to their chicken and fries meals. Created in collaboration with England soccer star Bukayo Saka, this sweet, smoky, and mildly fiery sauce sold out repeatedly in the U.K. during its overseas launch, and has now arrived in America as a part of these timely celebrations

With soccer taking center stage in the U.S. this summer, there is no better time for Nando’s to bring the electric energy of the global game stateside by rewarding passionate fans with its signature 24-hour marinated, flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken completely free of charge.
