When is Black Friday?

This year, Black Friday is Nov. 28. It always lands on the Friday after Thanksgiving, which falls on the fourth Thursday of November. There are hundreds of price cuts and sizable sales from the biggest online retailers already available.

When do Black Friday sales start?

Technically, Black Friday sales tend to begin a few weeks ahead of Thanksgiving, with the pace increasing closer to the actual Black Friday. And with Cyber Week starting two days after Black Friday, you’ll have more time to enjoy the savings from both events.

Will tariffs interfere with Black Friday deals?

Lots of CNET readers are concerned about tariffs and how they could affect holiday shopping. It’s certainly possible that tariffs could affect Black Friday sales, as we have seen some related price hikes, including on Nintendo Switch consoles. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find great deals on tech and other items. The best way to determine if you’re getting a good deal is to track the item’s price history before making a purchase. You can do this on sites like CamelCamelCamel and Price Tracker, or by using the Keepa browser extension. We’ve rounded up several useful shopping tools for you to check out, and we’ll highlight the best deals we find throughout the event.
