For the past four years, Chick-fil-A has canceled Cow Appreciation Day. If you're unclear about that holiday, Cow Appreciation Day was when you could dress up like a cow and grab free sandwiches at your local Chick-fil-A locations. Unfortunately, we don't think it will make a return — despite its overwhelming popularity with customers. Instead, in 2023, Chick-fil-A introduced Code Moo — a game for app users to earn Chick-fil-A deals and coupons for free food.
We saw Code Moo return for 2024 and it seems to be a permanent replacement for Cow Appreciation Day. You'll see weekly games (and freebies) in the app for a four week period and we predict the next Code Moo will take place July 21 - Aug. 16, 2025.
The game had some changes in 2024, and they weren't good changes. It started a month late and only lasted four weeks instead of the 6-week event we saw in 2023. And the first week's prize — 5-count nugs — was only worth $3.25, while last year's first prize was an 8-piece, regularly priced at $5.39. The rest of the prizes — although completely free — weren't as enticing as 2023 either.

Chick-Fil-A Code Moo is an annual 4-week game you play to get free food and prizes.
Code Moo is Chick-fil-A's summertime promotional game that offers multiple chances to win free food and merchandise. Players answer location-based questions to earn rewards through the Chick-fil-A app.
Users race their cow car in a 4-course mission to help stop Circus Burger and spread the Cows’ ‘Eat Mor Chikin’ message. Choose your favorite cow character and vehicle to play and receive a Chick-fil-A food reward each week.
(Code Moo replaced Cow Appreciation Day, which had rewarded people with free food for dressing up like a cow in July. It has been discontinued since Covid.)
KCL Predicts the next Chick-fil-A Code Moo will begin on July 21, 2025.
It all started July 22 in the app, with new missions every Monday. This game runs through Aug. 17, 2024.
Get free Chick-fil-A every week by playing Code Moo on your phone.
You can play Code Moo by going to playCodeMoo.com or by signing in to your Chick-fil-A Rewards app. In the game, you’ll select your cow and race through obstacles like hay bales and construction gates. Tap your screen to dodge items and collect paint cans to paint over billboards on your route.
After you finish the race, you’ll be given a reward added to your Chick-fil-A Rewards in the app.

Cow Appreciation Day no longer takes place in restaurants.
In previous years, kids received a free Chick-fil-A sandwich (regularly $5.29) while adults could get an entree of their choice (up to $8.85 value) when they dressed like a cow. We don't expect this event to return in 2024 and, instead, customers can play Code Moo to get their free Chick-fil-A.
