McDonald’s is partnering with WNBA and Unrivaled star Angel Reese for a new signature meal.
According to Front Office Sports, the Angel Reese Special will feature a BBQ Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese, fries and a drink:
While McDonald’s has collaborated with several celebrities and athletes over the years, this marks the first time a female athlete will have a signature meal at the iconic fast food chain.
Legendary NBA star Michael Jordan had his own signature meal called the McJordan Special back in 1992, but McDonald’s has focused more on musicians in recent years, such as Travis Scott, J Balvin, BTS, Saweetie, Mariah Carey, Cardi B and Offset.
Reese is bucking that trend, though, in the latest example of her immense and ever-growing star power.
The 22-year-old Reese first rose to prominence at the collegiate level, starring at Maryland and LSU. While at LSU, Reese won a national championship in 2023 and was named the NCAA tournament’s most outstanding player.
Reese went seventh overall to the Chicago Sky in the 2024 WNBA draft, and although a fractured wrist cut her rookie season short, she still earned an All-Star selection and finished second to Caitlin Clark in Rookie of the Year voting by virtue of averaging 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game.
She recently returned to the court as part of Rose BC in the brand-new Unrivaled three-on-three women’s basketball league.
While Rose BC are just 1-3, Reese has been productive with averages of 10.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.
The Unrivaled season runs until March 17, and the 2025 WNBA season will begin about two months later in May.
The Angel Reese Special will be available at all participating McDonald’s locations beginning on Feb. 10.
