As fans around the world gather to cheer on their national teams, Starbucks is celebrating the role coffee and connection play in these shared moments.

The world's coffee cup is getting a new sleeve

On June 11, customers who order a beverage of any* size, including brewed coffee and brewed tea, at participating Starbucks coffeehouses in the U.S. will receive a free, limited-edition U.S cup sleeve, while supplies last. Inspired by the captain's armband, the red, white and blue sleeve celebrates global fandom and the unifying power of the game.

This activation taps into the unique global energy of moments like these, when fans show up for their teams across countries and time zones, and everyday rituals feel more connected and meaningful. Starbucks community coffeehouses are an extension of that shared experience, bringing people together and creating spaces where connection and collective enthusiasm come to life.

Local coffeehouses, global connection

Around the world, starting June 10, Starbucks will celebrate the global game in more than 30 markets, hosting fan gatherings and giving away locally inspired captain cup sleeves in select coffeehouses, while supplies last. These gatherings and giveaways are designed to foster connection and bring the excitement of the game into coffeehouses in ways only Starbucks can.

In several markets, including England and Scotland, Starbucks coffeehouses will host nationwide cup sleeve giveaways with purchase of a beverage for one day only on June 11, while supplies last.
