The Coca‑Cola Company and KFC are coming together in the U.S. through a new beverage partnership that will bring Coca‑Cola products across all 3,600 KFC restaurants in the U.S. for the first time.


Beginning in January 2027, KFC will transition its U.S. beverage offering to The Coca‑Cola Company, with Coca‑Cola products expected to be served across all U.S. restaurants by spring 2027.


“This exciting new partnership brings Coca‑Cola and KFC together across the U.S. for the very first time,” said Dagmar Boggs, President of Foodservice & On-Premise, North America, The Coca‑Cola Company. “By pairing KFC’s iconic food and flavors with the breadth of Coca‑Cola’s beverage portfolio and innovation capabilities, we have an incredible opportunity to make every visit more refreshing, create memorable consumer experiences, delight KFC guests, serve KFC Restaurant Teams, and unlock new growth possibilities together.”


“I’m incredibly excited to bring KFC and Coca‑Cola together. These are two of the greatest originals, with deep consumer love and a shared belief that the best brands continue to evolve,” said Catherine Tan-Gillespie, President of KFC U.S. “This partnership is about more than what’s in the cup. It is another important step in our work to evolve KFC, strengthen our restaurants and create a more relevant experience for today’s customers. Coca‑Cola shares our ambition for the future of this brand, and I’m excited about what we can create together.”


The partnership brings together two iconic brands with deep roots and combines KFC’s distinctive food and flavors with the breadth of Coca‑Cola’s beverage portfolio, innovation capabilities and system support.
