The Pepsi Challenge July 9, 2026
The Pepsi Challenge returns in Chicago again!
In case you missed it in June, PEPSI® is bringing the iconic blind taste test to your area again, inviting consumers to put their taste to the ultimate test and decide for themselves who has the superior-tasting cola.
Last year, the Pepsi Challenge results were undeniable. In 2025, Pepsi Zero Sugar beat Coca-Cola Zero Sugar in the majority of stops along the national Pepsi Challenge tour — including Atlanta, Coke’s hometown — with more than 66% of participants choosing Pepsi Zero Sugar.
Now, fans in Chicago will have the chance to take the famous challenge.
