The free Footlong is live. Subway’s BOGO Footlong deal started on Tuesday, October 27, 2026 and runs through Sunday, November 8: buy any Footlong in the Subway app or on Subway.com and a second Footlong — of equal or lesser value — is free. It is for Sub Club members only, but joining is free and new members qualify on the spot. There is no promo code: the offer is already sitting in members’ app wallets. Here is exactly how to claim it, what a Footlong costs so you can price the deal, and the fine print that decides which subs count.
The short version: sign in to Sub Club, add two Footlongs to an app or online order, and the cheaper of the two drops to $0. At typical prices that turns a $11.49 Italian B.M.T. into two Footlongs for $11.49 — about $5.75 a sub. The deal runs for 13 days, not one, so there is no single-day stampede — but it ends hard on November 8.
What Is the Subway BOGO Footlong Deal?
Subway built the offer around National Sandwich Day — and moved the holiday to make sure it landed. Rather than celebrate on the traditional November 3, which sits next to Election Day this year, Subway shifted its National Sandwich Day to Tuesday, October 27 and stretched the deal across both dates: the BOGO runs from October 27 through November 8, so it is still live on November 3 itself. “We weren’t going to let National Sandwich Day become an afterthought,” said Jeff Klein, Subway’s Chief Marketing Officer, in the announcement. “So, we’re giving sandwiches their own day in the spotlight, one week early.”
The offer is the headline of Subway’s new “Feed Your SUBconscious” brand platform, and it arrived with two returning limited-time items: the Fritos Chicken Enchilada Sub, back for the first time since 2014, and the Caramel Apple Cookie, last offered in 2021. Both are covered in full in our post on the Fritos Chicken Enchilada Sub’s return — this post is about the deal itself.
How to Claim Your Free Footlong
Four steps, all digital. First, open the Subway app or Subway.com and sign in to Sub Club — if you are not a member, joining is free and takes a minute, and new members get this offer too. Second, check your wallet in the app: the BOGO Footlong offer is loaded there automatically for current and new members, with no code to type. Third, build an order with two Footlongs and check out — the discount applies on its own, and the lower-priced Footlong is the one that rings up free. Fourth, pick up in store as normal.
The one thing that trips people up: this is an app and online offer only. It cannot be applied at the counter, at a kiosk or in the drive-thru — ordering ahead in the app for pickup is the way in. It is also not available through third-party delivery apps. If you want to put the free sub to work, the builds on our Subway secret menu page — the old-school V-cut, the Wing Effect, double-toasting — all apply to the free Footlong just as they do to a paid one.
Footlong Prices: What the BOGO Is Worth
| Footlong | Typical Price | You Pay for Two |
|---|---|---|
| Italian B.M.T. | $11.49 | $11.49 — second one free |
| Steak Philly | $13.49 | $13.49 — second one free |
| Chicken & Bacon Ranch | $13.79 | $13.79 — second one free |
| Subway Club | $12.79 | $12.79 — second one free |
| Tuna | $10.99 | $10.99 — second one free |
| Spicy Italian | $9.99 | $9.99 — second one free |
| Steak Philly + Tuna (mixed pair) | $13.49 + $10.99 | $13.49 — the Tuna is free |
Subway does not publish a national price list — every restaurant is franchise-owned and sets its own prices — so the figures above are typical prices sampled from Subway’s own online ordering in October 2026; the full board is on our Subway menu page. The math is simple: when both subs are the same, the BOGO halves the per-sub cost — two Spicy Italians work out at about $5.00 each, two B.M.T.s at about $5.75 each. With a mixed pair, the cheaper sub is always the free one, so pairing a premium build with a cheaper second sub saves you the smaller number: a Steak Philly with a Tuna saves $10.99, not $13.49. To maximise the saving, make the free sub one you would happily have paid full price for — and check the calories first on our Subway nutrition chart if two Footlongs are going to one person.
The Fine Print
The rules, as Subway states them: the free Footlong must be of equal or lesser value than the one you pay for, and the discount lands on the cheaper sub. There is a limit of one free Footlong per order. The offer is valid on app and online orders only at participating U.S. restaurants, for Sub Club members; it is not valid on third-party delivery, catering or gift card purchases. Add-ons and extras cost extra — double meat, extra cheese and premium toppings on the free sub are charged as usual — and tax applies. Three Footlongs are excluded from the offer: Fresh Fit, the 5 Meat Italian and the Big Hot Pastrami. And like every Subway Reward, it cannot be combined with other offers in the same order. The window closes at the end of Sunday, November 8, 2026.
How It Stacks With Sub Club Points
Do not confuse this BOGO with the old “Fourth Footlong Free” stamp deal — that mechanic launched in December 2025 and was retired on April 1, 2026. Sub Club today is points-only: you earn 10 points per $1 spent at participating U.S. restaurants, and 400 points convert to $2 of Subway Cash, redeemable in $2 blocks on food and drinks. New members start with a 250-point welcome bonus, and there is a birthday reward when your birthday is saved in your profile. Points expire after six months with no account activity. The BOGO is a separate wallet offer, not a points redemption — but the order you place with it is still a Sub Club order, so claim the free sub first and let the paid Footlong do the earning. The full program, the Fresh Value Menu and the standing $6.99 Meal of the Day are broken down on our Subway coupons page.
Subway BOGO Footlong FAQs
When does the Subway BOGO Footlong deal end?
Sunday, November 8, 2026. It started Tuesday, October 27 and runs for 13 days, covering both Subway’s moved-up National Sandwich Day (October 27) and the traditional date (November 3).
Do I need a promo code for the free Footlong?
No. The offer is loaded automatically into Sub Club members’ wallets in the Subway app. Sign in, add two Footlongs to an app or online order, and the cheaper one is discounted to $0 at checkout.
Can I get the BOGO deal in the restaurant?
Not at the counter — the offer works on Subway app and Subway.com orders only, for pickup at participating U.S. restaurants. It is also not available through third-party delivery apps, and kiosk and drive-thru orders cannot apply it.
Which Footlong is the free one?
The cheaper of the two. Subway’s terms make the free sub the one of equal or lesser value, so with two identical Footlongs you simply pay for one; with a mixed pair, the lower-priced sub is free and add-ons on it still cost extra.
Are any Footlongs excluded from the BOGO?
Yes — Fresh Fit, the 5 Meat Italian and the Big Hot Pastrami are excluded. There is also a limit of one free Footlong per order, the offer cannot be combined with other offers, and tax applies.
I am not a Sub Club member. Can I still get the deal?
Yes — joining Sub Club is free in the app or on Subway.com, and Subway extended the offer to new members as well as current ones. Join, check that the BOGO is in your wallet, then order before November 8.
Conclusion
Thirteen days, no code, and the only gate is a free loyalty account: the BOGO Footlong is the easiest Subway saving of the year, worth roughly $10–$14 per order at typical prices. Order in the app, keep the pair close in price so the free sub is worth having, and remember the exclusions before you build a 5 Meat Italian. For the returning items riding along with the deal, see the Fritos Chicken Enchilada Sub post; for the standing savings that outlast November 8, the Subway coupons page has the Fresh Value Menu and the Meal of the Day.
