Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola was introduced in 1983 as a caffeine-free variant of Coca-Cola. It was introduced to compete against Pepsi Free, which is now called Caffeine-Free Pepsi. The diet variant, Caffeine-Free Diet Coke, was the first variant of Diet Coke and was introduced in 1984, one year after the regular Coke version. In April 1985, Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola was switched to the unpopular New Coke formula and did not switch back to the classic formula until 1989. In 2013, Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola Zero was introduced in the United States.

Since 2020, Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola has been difficult to find in stores, both in cans and 2-liter bottles. The explanation given by various non-official sources is that due to a shortage of aluminum cans due to COVID-19 related issues, less popular products are in short supply.[1] However, there is no current shortage of aluminum cans.[2]
