KFC's Doom Menu Was Due to Land November 9 in 100+ Countries — Not the US, and KFC Has Published Nothing Since to Say It Did

Published Nov 7, 2026Updated Nov 10, 2026Officially confirmed

KFC said on November 4, 2026 that its Marvel-themed "Doomified" menu is available beginning 9 November in select markets and through January 2027, in what the company calls its most expansive joint venture to date. The same release states it will not be available in the United States, India or China. That start date has now passed; re-checked on November 10, KFC's release is unchanged and still reads in future tense, and this page could not reach any individual market's menu to confirm the items are on sale.

  • KFC's stated start date, 9 November 2026, has now passed — but KFC has published nothing since to confirm the menu went live
  • Re-read on November 10, 2026, KFC's release is unchanged: still "available beginning 9 November", with no update note
  • No individual market's KFC menu was reachable to verify store-level availability, so the launch rests on KFC's own stated window
  • KFC's release says the menu "will not be available in the United States, India or China" — the line US readers are searching for
  • Two markets are named in coverage rather than by KFC: Dexerto reports the UK and Daily Hive reports participating locations throughout Canada
  • KFC puts the run at 100+ countries through January 2027; some coverage has said December instead, and this page carries KFC's own wording
  • Eight items: Doom Burger, Doom Dripped Wings, Doom Bucket, Doom Loaded Fries, Doom Dust, Doom Shake, Doom Supreme Fizz and Masked Mozza Melts
  • KFC published no price for any item, in any market
  • A five-figurine Colonel Sanders Cosplay Collection is offered in select markets while supplies last
  • KFC calls it its most expansive joint venture to date

What was announced

On November 4, 2026, KFC announced a Marvel-themed "Doomified" menu tied to Marvel Studios' "Avengers: Doomsday", available beginning 9 November in select markets and through January 2027. The release names eight items, limited-edition Doctor Doom packaging and a set of five Colonel Sanders Cosplay Collection figurines given with any Doom menu purchase in designated regions while supplies last. KFC describes the collaboration as its most expansive joint venture to date, spanning 100 countries in the release summary and 100+ countries in its body, and states that offerings may vary by market. No price is given for any item. The release states that the menu will not be available in the United States, India or China, and gives no reason for those exclusions.

Why it matters

Two things make this more than a menu announcement. The first is the exclusion: a collaboration KFC calls its largest ever reaches more than a hundred countries and deliberately skips the United States, with no explanation offered, while US readers are seeing the same Doom Burger footage everyone else is. The second is the end date. Limited-time menus are normally announced with a start and no last day, and KFC gave both at once — which makes this one of the few seasonal menus whose full window is on the record from the first day.

What KFC announced, and the one line US readers are looking for

On November 4, 2026, KFC published a release titled "KFC Brings the Doom", announcing a Marvel-themed menu tied to Marvel Studios' "Avengers: Doomsday". The company describes it as its most expansive joint venture to date, quoting Global CEO Scott Mezvinsky: "This is KFC's most expansive joint venture to date, and we can't wait to welcome guests into our extension of the MCU."

The availability line is the one that matters for anyone reading this in the United States. KFC states the menu is "available beginning 9 November in select markets and through January 2027", and then states that it "will not be available in the United States, India or China". That is the company's own wording, not an inference from a missing listing.

KFC also hedges the rest: "Select market offerings may vary; collectible figurines available in designated regions while supplies last." So even inside the participating markets, the eight items are not guaranteed to all appear.

Did it actually launch? What can and cannot be confirmed

KFC's own release set the date: available beginning 9 November, through January 2027. That date has passed, so this page records the menu as running on KFC's stated window.

What has not been possible is confirming it at store level. Re-read on November 10, 2026, KFC's global release is byte-for-byte the announcement it was on November 4 — still future tense, no "now available" note, no market list beyond "select markets". Coverage fills part of that gap without KFC confirming it: Dexerto named the UK and Daily Hive named participating locations throughout Canada, both writing on November 4, before the launch date. Because the United States is excluded, there is no domestic menu to check, and the individual market menus this page tried were not reachable.

So the honest position is this: KFC officially stated a window that covers today, and nothing contradicts it, but no primary source has been found that shows the items actually on a menu. That distinction is recorded here rather than smoothed over, and this page will say so plainly if the menu turns out to have slipped in some markets.

One discrepancy is worth noting. KFC's own release says the menu runs "through January 2027". Some coverage has described the rollout as running through December instead. KFC's own wording is the one this page carries, and the January 2027 end date comes from the company rather than from a publication.

The eight Doom items, as KFC describes them

KFC names eight items. Every description below is the company's own; nothing here has been tasted.

**Doom Burger** — Original Recipe, Spicy/Zinger or Extra Crispy chicken with lettuce, pickles, cheese, Doom Cola sauce and Smoky Green Mayo on a black sesame bun.

**Doom Dripped Wings** — hot wings that KFC describes as coated or dunked in Doom Cola sauce.

**Doom Bucket** — KFC chicken with limited-time Doctor Doom-inspired dipping sauces and Doom Dust.

**Doom Loaded Fries** — seasoned fries that the company describes as topped with Smoky Green Mayo and Doom Cola sauce, with or without popcorn chicken.

**Doom Dust** — a green seasoning the company describes as smoky charred lime and chili, intended to be sprinkled on anything.

**Doom Shake** — a vanilla milkshake which KFC describes as served with chocolate and peppermint sauce, or green apple, and topped with chocolate cookie crumbs.

**Doom Supreme Fizz** — a layered drink KFC describes as sparkling lemonade with green apple syrup, or kiwi, and boba pearls, in green and black.

**Masked Mozza Melts** — three crispy mozzarella sticks served with Smoky Green Mayo or Doom Cola sauce and Doom Dust.

KFC says every Doomified item comes in limited-edition packaging with a dark, iron-riveted design built around Doctor Doom's mask.

No prices, and an end date that is unusually clear

KFC published no price for any item on this menu. That is normal for a global release covering more than a hundred markets, and it is why no price appears on this page: a price only goes here when the company states it.

The end date is the more unusual detail. Most limited-time menus are announced with a start and no last day, which is the gap this site tracks. KFC gave both ends up front — "beginning 9 November ... and through January 2027" — without naming a specific final date within that month. The label on this page is KFC's own wording rather than a day the company never gave.

Daily Hive reports the menu runs "through January 2027 at participating locations throughout Canada", and Dexerto reports the same January 2027 end for the United Kingdom, so the window appears to hold across markets rather than being staggered.

Why the United States is out — KFC does not say

KFC's release excludes the United States, India and China, and gives no reason for any of the three. No explanation appears anywhere in the announcement, and KFC has announced no separate US Marvel menu alongside it. This page does not offer a reason, because the company has not given one.

What US readers can actually buy is a different set of tie-ins from other chains. Dunkin's Avengers: Doomsday menu is live nationwide, and Jack in the Box began selling its Doomsday Dipping Box on November 5. Both are covered separately on this site, and both are US-available, which the KFC menu is not.

One piece of timing is worth noting on its own: KFC says the film reaches cinemas on 18 December 2026, six weeks after the menu goes on sale and about six weeks before it ends. The menu is not timed to the release so much as wrapped around it.

Common questions

Is the KFC Doom Burger available in the United States?
No. KFC's own announcement states the Doomified menu "will not be available in the United States, India or China". KFC has not announced a separate US version, and gives no reason for the exclusion.
When does the KFC Doom menu start and end?
KFC says it is available beginning 9 November 2026 in select markets and runs through January 2027. The company did not name a specific last day within January.
How much does the Doom Burger cost?
KFC has not published a price for any item on the Doom menu. Pricing in a collaboration spanning more than a hundred markets is set locally, and no figure appears in KFC's release.
Which countries are getting the KFC Doom menu?
KFC says more than 100 countries, but does not publish the list, and notes that offerings vary by market. Daily Hive reports Canada is included at participating locations, and Dexerto reports the United Kingdom is included. The United States, India and China are excluded.
What are the KFC Doom collectibles?
KFC says buyers in designated regions receive one of five Colonel Sanders Cosplay Collection figurines with any Doom menu purchase, while supplies last. Each design is inspired by an Avengers: Doomsday character.
Can I get an Avengers: Doomsday menu in the US at all?
Yes, but not from KFC. Dunkin' is running an Avengers: Doomsday menu nationwide, and Jack in the Box began selling a Doomsday Dipping Box on November 5, 2026.
