MARCH 6, 2026 UPDATE: Looks like the standard deal this year is 2 for $6. I saw an ad on my phone yesterday, and have also found online videos featuring 2 for $6 Filet-O-Fish at various locations. This was confirmed at my local McDonald’s where it’s being marketed as “Mix & Match” with the 10 Piece Chicken McNuggets. I’m still waiting for an app special, but nothing has shown up as of yet. App promotions vary by region, so you may or not have one on your phone. Check and see!
FEBRUARY 18, 2026 UPDATE: Welcome to Lent season! Due to inflation, I doubt we’ll ever see a national 2 for $5 Filet-O-Fish again. However, McDonald’s usually runs some type of fish promotion between now and Easter Sunday. Regular price is now $4.69 in my area (up from $4.39 last year), so I’m thinking a sale price around $3 might happen? Possibly an app-only BOGO deal? I’ll keep watching. As soon as I receive further information, this page will be updated. Be sure to check back often!
I just checked my app and found nothing so far. However, app specials can and do vary by region. Check those apps! If you find a deal, please let us know.
McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish deals have been happening for more than 50 years. I’m 60 and can remember when they were just 49 cents! Over the years, the promotional price has increased gradually: 59 cents, 79 cents, 99 cents, 2 for $2, 2 for $2.22, 2 for $3, 2 for $3.33, 2 for $4, 2 for $4.44, and finally 2 for $5. In many areas, the Filet-O-Fish was available last year as part of McDonald’s 2 for $6 Mix & Match Deal. Originally, this special pricing was only available during the weeks leading up to Good Friday and Easter. More recently, we’ve been seeing Filet-O-Fish specials year-round!
While we’re on the subject of fishy offers for Lenten season, here’s some I found last year at various restaurants:
