Most McDonald’s locations are open at least until late evening, and many are now open until midnight or later. Exact hours depend heavily on the specific restaurant and city, so they can vary.
Typical closing times
Most standard McDonald’s restaurants close somewhere between 11 p.m. and midnight, with many U.S. locations now keeping dining room or drive‑thru service going until at least 12 a.m. or later as part of an extended‑hours rollout in 2025. Some busy or urban locations operate 24 hours, especially via drive‑thru, while locations inside malls, airports, or rest stops usually close earlier with the facility they are in.
How to check your local hours
The closing time for your nearby McDonald’s can only be confirmed by looking up that specific restaurant. The most reliable options are:
- Use the official McDonald’s website or app “Find a restaurant” feature to see today’s opening and closing hours for your location.
- Check Google Maps or a similar maps app for that restaurant’s listed hours, or call the store directly, since franchise owners can set different late‑night or 24‑hour schedules.
