The Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte made its return on Aug. 26, 2025, and to our surprise, the prices are the same as last year. While we didn't see a price increase, drink prices are definitely still pretty high. But it's possible to get the PSL for free with your Starbucks Stars.
Along with the PSL and new fall drinks, you'll also see Starbucks fall cups on shelves on Aug. 26, with Halloween cups coming during the second fall release on Sept. 16.
Check for current Starbucks coupons and offers to get deals on these fall drinks. Though we don’t often see drink promos with the new Starbucks CEO, we do often see Bonus Star opportunities, getting you closer to free drinks or even free Starbucks cups.

How to Get the PSL for Free
The easiest way to get a free Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks is to use 200 Stars from your Starbucks Rewards account. Order on the app and opt to use 200 Stars at checkout. If you’re ordering in person, let your barista know you’ll be exchanging Stars for your free drink.
Earn Stars faster by always reloading and paying with your Starbucks card in the app. You’ll get two Stars per $1 spent, meaning you earn a free drink after spending $100 instead of $200.
Iced Pumpkin Spice Coffee (Cheaper Dupe)
If you're a fan of the PSL on ice, you can get a cheaper version by creating a spiced-up iced coffee. Order a Grande Iced Coffee Blend and add three pumps of Pumpkin Spice sauce and a splash of your choice of milk. It'll ring up for $4.75. Then add whipped cream and cinnamon powder on top for free.
How long will Pumpkin Spice Lattes be available at Starbucks?
Most stores will offer them through the end of the year as long as they're still in stock. Around the time of the holiday menu launch, stores usually can no longer order pumpkin spice, so they'll use it until they run out.
When will other coffee retailers have pumpkin spice and other fall favorites?
Starbucks isn’t the only coffee chain dropping a fall menu later in August. We’ll also see limited-time seasonal drinks from Dunkin’, Krispy Kreme, and more. Plus, watch for Halloween merch drops like Munchkin Buckets and Boo Buckets.
