Starbucks is giving away free World Cup drink sleeves to celebrate kickoff

  • Starbucks customers are in for a treat on Thursday as the coffee giant gives away free World Cup 2026 drink sleeves to celebrate the start of the tournament.
  • Customers who order a beverage of any size, including brewed coffee and brewed tea, at participating Starbucks locations in the U.S. on June 11 will receive a free cup sleeve while supplies last, Starbucks wrote in a news release.
  • Bottled water, ready-to-drink beverages and alcohol are excluded. Other markets, including England and Scotland, are participating in the giveaway. The cup sleeve is inspired by a football captain’s armband.
  • Starbucks has also given its Bearista Cup a makeover to celebrate the World Cup, featuring a soccer-themed hat, available at participating coffeehouses across Canada, Latin America and the Asia Pacific region.
  • It’s available in the U.S. online only at the Starbucks Shop starting June 11 for Starbucks Rewards Reserve tier members, while supplies last.
