Flavor history
Wingstop Flavor Launches Since 2024
Our record shows 11 Wingstop flavor launches and returns since August 2024. The newest is Lemon Pepper Trio, which reached everyone on September 15, 2026. Wingstop doesn't publish end dates for limited-time flavors, so this page records when each one arrived, not when it left.
Last updated:
Two limits to know. Wingstop doesn't publish end dates for limited-time flavors. The one exception in our record is Wingstop Hot Box with Fiery Nacho dry rub, which its release gave as April 17 to 20, 2026. Our record starts in August 2024: we have not collected anything earlier.
Currently limited-time
Lemon Pepper Trio
Includes Original Lemon Pepper, Lemon Pepper Chili Crunch, Lemon Pepper Chili Glaze. Reached everyone on September 15, 2026, after Club Wingstop member early access from September 10, 2026. That is 33 days before our last check on October 18, 2026. Wingstop's release calls it limited-time and gives no end date, so we can't say how long it stays.
Earlier limited-time flavors below may still be available at some restaurants. Wingstop doesn't publish end dates, so check the app or the official menu before you go.

What the timeline shows
Our counts, from the entries above.
7 of the 11 entries in our record arrived in the 12 months before October 18, 2026. Since January 2026 a new or returning flavor has reached everyone about every 7 weeks, though the gaps run from 10 to 77 days. 3 of the entries are returns, so Wingstop is bringing back flavors it has run before, not only launching new ones. Our record only holds flavors Wingstop announced in a press release we found, so a quiet menu change would not show up here.
