Wendy’s celebrates fall by giving away free chili

Autumn is in the air. It’s time for hot cups of apple cider, soups and chili to keep you warm and full. 

And one of the best places to pick up a good cup of chili is at Wendy’s. For many, it’s the go-to item on the popular fast-food restaurant’s menu — perfect as a snack (with fries for dipping!) or a complete meal. 

To celebrate the first day of fall, Wendy’s is offering a FREE small chili with any purchase of $5 or more on Sept. 22, 2025 at participating locations. 

Limit one per person. 

The hot deal is only available for Wendy’s Rewards members via the restaurant’s app. Join Wendy’s Rewards here.
