When the Fall Menu Started and When It Ends
The 2026 fall menu started on Tuesday, August 25, 2026. Starbucks announced the date back on August 3, 2026. That is one day earlier than the 2025 launch. This is the Pumpkin Spice Latte’s 23rd fall season, since the drink first appeared in 2003.
Fall drinks stay while supplies last. The season ends when the Starbucks holiday menu takes over, and that lands on November 5, 2026. So as of late October 2026, the fall menu is in its final stretch. If you want a PSL or the new Iced Chaider, order soon.

Calories and Caffeine in the Fall Drinks
Numbers are easy to find for the Pumpkin Spice Latte. The figures below are for the standard build with 2% milk and whipped cream. Your cup can be lighter or heavier based on milk, syrup, and whip.
| Pumpkin Spice Latte size | Calories | Caffeine |
|---|---|---|
| Tall (12 oz) | 300 | 75 mg |
| Grande (16 oz) | 390 | 150 mg |
| Venti (20 oz hot) | 470 | 150 mg |
Want the biggest caffeine hit on the fall menu? Among drinks with published numbers, the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew leads at about 185 mg in a grande. To cut calories, ask for nonfat or a plant milk and skip the whipped cream.
PSL Society Merch and Fall Grocery
Starbucks turned the launch into more than drinks. A limited collection called PSL Society brings new drinkware and what the company calls an iconic hat for PSL lovers. Starbucks has not posted merch prices, so check in store or in the app.
Pumpkin spice also hit grocery shelves. You can find packaged pumpkin spice coffee, creamers, and ready-to-drink bottles. Starbucks even ran a fall campaign with Martha Stewart to kick off the season.
How to Order and Save on the Fall Menu
You can order fall drinks at the counter, at the drive-thru, in the Starbucks app, on starbucks.com, or through delivery partners where offered. Mobile order and pay lets you skip the line. Keep in mind that delivery usually costs more than pickup.
A few ways to spend less this fall: join Starbucks Rewards to earn Stars and a free birthday treat, bring your own clean cup, ask for fewer syrup pumps, and make an easy version at home when you can. For a wider look at everyday prices, see our Starbucks menu prices guide and our coffee chain price comparison.
Dairy Free and Lighter Ways to Order
Most fall drinks can go dairy-free. Swap in oat, almond, soy, or coconut milk. Many drinks come hot or iced, so pick what fits the weather. To lighten a drink, ask for half the pumpkin or syrup pumps and skip the whipped cream.
One safety note: Starbucks lists key allergens, but drinks and food are made in shared spaces, so cross-contact is possible. If you have a serious allergy, ask a barista before you order. For more plant-based picks, see our vegan Starbucks drinks list.
What Is Not on the 2026 Fall Menu
Here is a gap a lot of menu lists get wrong: Apple Crisp is out for 2026. The Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato is not on this year’s fall menu. Pumpkin, pecan, and banana bread are the stars instead. If you loved the apple drink, you will have to wait and see if it returns another year.
