Black Friday 2026: The Complete List — Every Store's Dates, Hours & Best Deals

Black Friday 2026 is coming — here's every date worth knowing.


Besties, Black Friday is Friday, November 27 — but the real sale season starts WAY before that. Bookmark this post, because it will be updated every time a store drops new dates, hours, or deals. No guessing, no hype: if it says "confirmed," the store announced it. If it says "expected," that's last year's pattern and it is NOT official yet.


Last updated: October 25, 2026


THE BIG DATES

• Thanksgiving: Thursday, November 26 (Walmart, Target, and Kohl's stores are CLOSED — shop those deals online)

• Black Friday: Friday, November 27

• Cyber Monday: Monday, November 30


WALMART

• Status: 2026 Black Friday dates NOT officially announced yet (expected any day — last year Walmart announced in late October)

• Confirmed: stores closed on Thanksgiving Day

• Expected, not yet announced (last year's pattern): two sale waves — a first event in mid-November and the main event running Thanksgiving week through the weekend, online first, with Walmart+ members getting early online access before each wave

• Black Friday store hours: TBA (stores opened early morning last year)

• Watch this space — the full Walmart ad usually drops all at once

• Early Black Friday Sale: November 5–7

• New limited-time deals every weekend starting November 14

AMAZON

KOHL'S

• Status: Black Friday ad NOT announced yet — but early holiday deals are already live in stores and online now

• Expected, not yet announced (last year's pattern): an Early Access event in early November, then Black Friday Week in Thanksgiving week, with doorbusters starting online on Thanksgiving and in stores early Friday morning (5 a.m. last year)

• The Kohl's Cash earning events are the real prize here — watch for the earn dates to be announced with the ad

• Stores closed Thanksgiving Day


BEST BUY

• Status: Black Friday calendar NOT announced yet

• Expected, not yet announced (last year's pattern): early doorbuster deals starting around Halloween, with the main Black Friday sale starting about a week before Black Friday and running through the weekend

• Best Buy has already said holiday savings roll out starting in October, so early tech deals are worth watching now


ULTA BEAUTY

• Live now: Early Black Friday deals are running in stores and online through November 21 — up to 50% off select beauty favorites, new deals dropping weekly, free gifts with purchase on select items, free shipping on orders $35+

• Main Black Friday event: dates TBA (last year it started the Sunday before Black Friday with a second round of deals mid-week) — expected, not yet announced

• This is THE week for beauty gift sets — the good ones sell out early every year


BATH & BODY WORKS

• Status: Black Friday sale NOT announced yet

• Expected, not yet announced (the long-running pattern): deals begin Thanksgiving week, with the famous storewide Buy 3, Get 3 Free event — last year it got upgraded to Buy 3, Get 4 Free on Thanksgiving and Black Friday

• Stores closed Thanksgiving Day; the online sale usually starts first

• Candle lovers: the separate Candle Day event traditionally lands in early December — date TBA


DEALS BEING WATCHED

As ads drop, this section will track the best finds in:

• Gift cards — bonus-card offers are the easiest free money of the season

• Beauty — gift sets, skincare restocks, and sunscreen stock-ups

• Home — robot vacuums, kitchen helpers, and cozy upgrades


BESTIE RULES FOR BLACK FRIDAY SEASON

1. Make your list NOW, while you're calm

2. If a deal says "expected," don't plan your Friday around it yet — wait for the confirmation update here

3. Online first, always — most of these sales start online before stores open


This post updates as every announcement lands — check back before you shop!
