Arby’s announced the nationwide launch of its new Chicken Cheesesteak, Chicken Deluxe Cheesesteak, and Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak on October 12, 2026. The introduction marks another expansion of the fast-food chain’s cheesesteak offerings as the company seeks to attract customers looking for alternatives to traditional burgers and beef sandwiches.
What are Arby’s three new Chicken Cheesesteak sandwiches?
The new lineup includes three varieties designed to appeal to different preferences.
All three sandwiches use the same seasoned chicken preparation, allowing Arby’s to expand its menu while maintaining a consistent ingredient base.
Why is Arby’s expanding its cheesesteak menu?
The launch follows the introduction of Arby’s Angus Cheesesteak, which became a permanent menu offering earlier in 2026.
Unlike the Angus version, made with thinly shaved Angus beef, the new sandwiches use chicken as their primary protein.
The expansion reflects Arby’s strategy of differentiating its menu through meat-focused sandwiches rather than competing exclusively in the traditional hamburger category.
These launches highlight the company’s efforts to diversify its product portfolio and create additional occasions for customers to visit its restaurants.
Where can customers buy Arby’s new Chicken Cheesesteak sandwiches?
The three Chicken Cheesesteak sandwiches are available for a limited time at participating Arby’s locations across the United States.
Customers can purchase them inside restaurants, through drive-thru service, online, or using the Arby’s mobile app.
The company has not announced an official nationwide end date for the promotion.
Founded in 1964, Arby’s operates more than 3,500 restaurants across seven markets and is part of Inspire Brands, the restaurant group that also owns Dunkin’, Buffalo Wild Wings, Sonic, and Jimmy John’s.
