Note that McDonald’s eliminated All-Day Breakfast when Covid-19 began to be a concern. It has not returned as of the date of this article. According to Delish.com, McDonald’s stated that the elimination of All-Day Breakfast helped “simplify operations” and “provided better speed of service and accuracy” while dealing with the complexities of the pandemic.

There is no word if or when All-Day Breakfast will return. However, McDonald’s stated the following on its Twitter account:

it's pretty much everywhere, Brian. we’re still looking into how to bring back all-day breakfast to our menus so stay tuned.
