What’s included in Big Arch
Big Arch were created as a larger and more filling alternative to classic McDonald’s burgers.
According to the chain’s official description on international markets, the burger contains two large beef burgers, three slices of white Cheddar cheese, fresh and crispy fried onions, salad, pickled gherkins and the special Big Arch sauce. It is all served in a bun with sesame seeds and poppy seeds.
McDonald’s describes the Big Arch sauce itself as creamy and tangy, with a blend of mustard, pickled gherkins and a sweetish tomato flavour.
In terms of size, the new product is significantly larger than the Big Mac. In some international markets, the Big Arch is made using two patties, each weighing around a quarter of a pound before cooking.
Big Arch is already on sale in many countries
McDonald's began testing the Big Arch back in 2024. One of the first major markets was Canada, where the burger was initially trialled in selected restaurants in Ontario and Alberta, before being rolled out across the country.
In June 2025, the Big Arch was officially launched in the UK and Ireland. Following its successful launch, McDonald’s decided to reintroduce it in 2026 as a permanent fixture on the UK and Irish menus.
In March 2026, the burger also made its debut on the US market. The company described the Big Arch as one of the largest burgers on its menu and positioned it as an option for those who find standard portions insufficient.
The new product also appeared in Poland, the Czech Republic and other European countries during 2026.
Big Arch isn’t yet available everywhere in Ukraine
The appearance of the Big Arch in selected Ukrainian restaurants may indicate that McDonald’s has begun to gradually test or launch the new product ahead of a wider rollout.
At the time of writing The Big Arch isn’t yet listed on the official McDonald’s Ukraine website. The menu currently features the Big Mac, Big Tasty, Double Big Tasty, Royal Cheeseburger and other familiar items.
McDonald’s points out that the latest new menu items, prices and availability of dishes at specific restaurants can be checked via the chain’s mobile app. Therefore, the Big Arch may currently only be available at selected outlets, and The price of 362 UAH may also vary depending on the restaurant.
One of McDonald’s biggest burgers
The Big Arch became part of McDonald’s global strategy to expand its range of large burgers. When it was first launched in Canada, the company explicitly stated that it had created it in response to requests from customers who wanted a more filling burger.
It now seems that this new product is gradually making its way onto the Ukrainian market. If McDonald’s launches the Big Arch in all its restaurants across the country, it will become one of the largest and most expensive burgers on the chain’s permanent or seasonal menu in Ukraine.
