National Donut Day 2026: Where to Score Free Donuts and Sweet Deals

National Donut Day is back, and donut lovers have plenty of reasons to celebrate on Friday, June 5. What started in 1938 as a way to honor the Salvation Army's "Donut Lassies," who served treats to soldiers during World War I, has become one of the tastiest food holidays of the year.

This year, major chains across the country are offering free donuts, deep discounts, and special promotions to mark the occasion.

Krispy Kreme

Krispy Kreme is offering one free donut of your choice with no purchase required. Customers can stop by participating locations and pick their favorite donut for free. The chain is also running a bonus deal: buy any dozen donuts at regular price and get a dozen Original Glazed donuts for just $2.

Dunkin'

Dunkin' is once again celebrating National Donut Day with a free donut when customers purchase any beverage. The promotion is available at participating locations while supplies last. The coffee-and-donut giant is also releasing limited-edition merchandise as part of its annual celebration.

Duck Donuts

Duck Donuts is giving customers a free classic donut with no purchase necessary at participating shops. Guests can also take advantage of additional promotions, including six classic donuts for $6 and a free rubber duck with the purchase of a dozen donuts while supplies last.

Whether you're a fan of classic glazed, chocolate frosted, or something a little more adventurous, National Donut Day 2026 offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy a free or discounted treat. Just don't forget the coffee.
