Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte in the UK for 2023 officially launched nationwide on 7 September 2023 , with early access for Starbucks Rewards members from 31 August 2023.

Key dates for 2023 in the UK

  • Official UK launch in stores: Thursday 7 September 2023.
  • Early access: Available from 31 August 2023 for Starbucks Rewards members via the UK app.
  • Availability: Sold in Starbucks stores and drive‑thrus across the UK while stocks lasted during the autumn season.

How early access worked

  • Join Starbucks Rewards through the Starbucks UK app.
  • From 31 August 2023 , members could order Pumpkin Spice Latte and other pumpkin spice items before the general release on 7 September.
  • The same pattern of early app/member access has continued in later years, so it’s worth watching the app and emails each August for future PSL drops.

Forum / “latest news” style notes

In UK food and coffee discussions around late summer 2023, people were treating the 7 September date as the “true start of autumn”, with many noting that the Starbucks UK launch was slightly later than some US and European launches that year. Commenters also pointed out that joining Starbucks Rewards was increasingly becoming the way to get seasonal drinks a week or two ahead of non‑members, a trend that has only grown in following years.

In forum-style chats, a typical 2023 post looked like:
“Mark your calendars – PSL hits UK stores 7 Sept, but if you’ve got the app you can sneak one from 31 Aug. Summer’s basically over now.”

Mini FAQ

Is the 2023 date the same every year?
No. In 2022 and 2024–2025, UK PSL launches have shifted earlier into late August, with app or Rewards access sometimes starting even sooner.

Where can I check future dates?

  • Starbucks UK app and Starbucks Rewards emails
  • UK lifestyle/food sites that report PSL dates each August and September
