Events & ActivitiesEarly Black Friday Deals 2026: Sales Live Right Now
Updated November 2026
Early Black Friday deals are already live in 2026. Amazon has early deals in its Holiday Shop, Best Buy has added new Early Black Friday deals every Friday since 6 November, and Walmart's first Black Friday event starts on 12 November. Brands such as EcoFlow, Anker SOLIX, Bluetti and Cloudways are also running Black Friday sales now, more than two weeks before Black Friday on Friday 27 November.
This page lists the early Black Friday sales we could confirm on the stores' own sites or in their announcements, with the dates each one ends. We update it as new sales go live. For the full event, see our Black Friday deals hub.

Target's early Black Friday event ran from 5 to 7 November, so it isn't in the table. Target says it will keep running limited-time offers on most Thursdays to Saturdays through the holidays. Its Holiday Price Match Guarantee covers 1 November to 24 December, so an early Target purchase is protected if Target cuts the price later. Our Target Black Friday guide has the details.
The Big US Retailers: What Is Live Now
Amazon
Amazon has confirmed Black Friday is on 27 November 2026 and Cyber Monday on 30 November. It hasn't announced when its main Black Friday sale starts. For now, Amazon tells shoppers to browse early deals in its Holiday Shop and on its Deals page. Many of the biggest Amazon discounts go to Prime members, so if you plan to buy a lot, check whether a free Prime trial is open to you before the main sale. Our Amazon Black Friday guide covers past start dates and what to expect, and our Amazon coupons page lists current codes and clippable coupons.
Best Buy
Best Buy published its full 2026 holiday calendar in late October. It is the clearest plan from any major US retailer this year:
- DoorBOOsters: 30 October to 1 November (finished).
- Early Black Friday Deals and Doorbusters: from 6 November, with new deals added every Friday.
- Black Friday Doorbusters and Deals: 19 to 28 November.
- Cyber Monday Sale Event: 29 and 30 November.
- Last-Minute Save Event: 18 to 24 December.
Best Buy is also adding rewards for My Best Buy Plus and Total members this season. Check current codes on our Best Buy promo codes page and see the Best Buy Black Friday guide for doorbuster tips.
Walmart
Walmart is running three events in 2026, 14 days in total, up from 10 in 2025:
- Early Black Friday deals: 12 to 15 November.
- Black Friday deals: 23 to 29 November.
- Cyber Monday deals: 30 November to 2 December.
Walmart+ members get early access to selected deals in both Black Friday events. Walmart hasn't published the exact timing for each tier, so check Walmart.com on the morning each event starts. Walmart stores are usually closed on Thanksgiving. Our Walmart Black Friday guide and Thanksgiving store hours guide have more.
Early Black Friday Deals by Category
Here are the pre-Black Friday deals live now, grouped by what you're shopping for, with links to our detailed store guides.
Power stations and home batteries
Portable power brands start Black Friday earlier than most. EcoFlow US is running its Black Friday 2026 sale from 2 to 18 November, with up to 52% off. In Australia, Anker SOLIX started its Black Friday sale on 10 November with up to 51% off, running to 12 December, and Bluetti has a BFCM Sneak Peek with up to 33% off from 5 to 18 November. Bluetti calls this a sneak peek, so its main BFCM prices may differ. Compare models in our EcoFlow Black Friday guide, Bluetti Black Friday guide and power station buying guide.
Electronics and smart home
For TVs, laptops and headphones, Amazon and Best Buy are where to start. Best Buy's Friday drops and its main sale from 19 November will bring most of its doorbusters. If you want a robot vacuum, our Narwal Black Friday guide covers Narwal's early access dates and robot deals. For a wider view, see our Black Friday electronics deals roundup.
Scooters and e-bikes
Hiboy has early access deals on electric scooters and e-bikes. Our Hiboy Black Friday guide explains how its early access works and what to check before you buy, including battery size, range and warranty.
Mattresses, furniture and home
Emma Sleep Australia is running a Black Friday mattress sale with up to 60% off until 16 November. Emma hasn't said what follows it, so check our store page after that date. Factory Buys has a Black Friday sale on furniture, mattresses and fitness gear running through November (1 to 30 November). Read our Emma Black Friday guide for trial and return terms, and our Factory Buys Black Friday guide for delivery times.
Fashion and outdoor
Fashion brands often open early access to email subscribers or members first. Our Yeaday Black Friday guide explains its VIP early access dates. In Australia, Helly Hansen has announced Black Friday for 27 to 30 November on about 80% of its site, so its outdoor gear isn't discounted yet.
Travel and holidays
Contiki has Black Friday early access on now, with selected tours tagged "Black Friday Sale". Its Australian site says customers who book by 11 November go in a draw to win their trip for free. Tour prices depend on departure date, so compare a few dates. See our Contiki Black Friday guide. If you're planning a road trip in Australia or New Zealand, our Star RV Black Friday guide explains its motorhome hire offer.
Web hosting and software
Cloudways has launched its Black Friday offer early: 80% off for 2 months across hosting plans and add-ons, capped at $200 off per month. The discount only lasts 2 months, so check the full monthly price you'll pay afterwards. Our Cloudways Black Friday guide explains renewal pricing.
Adult (18+ only)
These stores sell sex toys and lingerie and are for adults aged 18 and over. Lovehoney UK has Black Friday early access with up to 70% off selected items, and Australian retailer ClubX has a Black Friday sale with up to 54% off. Check our Lovehoney and ClubX pages for current codes.

How to Get the Best Price on Early Black Friday Deals
- Check the price history. An "up to 50% off" banner doesn't mean every item is half price. Compare the sale price with what the item cost in October, using the store's own listing or a price tracker.
- Use price protection. Target's Holiday Price Match Guarantee covers 1 November to 24 December. Other stores have their own rules, so read them before you rely on them. Our price match and returns guide compares them.
- Join the free lists. Email lists, apps and free memberships often get early access first. Paid memberships such as Prime or Walmart+ are only worth it if you'll use them after the sale too.
- Check for a code on top. Some stores accept a coupon code on sale items, many don't. Check the latest codes on our store pages before you pay.
- Watch the end dates. Early sales such as EcoFlow's and Bluetti's end on 18 November, before Black Friday week. If you like the price, you don't have to wait.
- Read the return policy. Some holiday purchases get longer return windows, but final-sale items and opened electronics may not. Know the rules before you buy a big-ticket item.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are early Black Friday deals as good as the deals on Black Friday?
Often, yes. Many 2026 early Black Friday deals use the same headline discounts as the main event. Best Buy and Walmart will add new doorbusters during Black Friday week, so a few items may get cheaper. If a store offers price protection, such as Target's Holiday Price Match Guarantee, buying early carries less risk.
When do early Black Friday sales start and end?
It depends on the store. Best Buy's early deals started on 6 November and run until its main sale on 19 November. Walmart's early event runs from 12 to 15 November. EcoFlow US runs from 2 to 18 November, and Anker SOLIX AU from 10 November to 12 December. Black Friday itself is Friday 27 November 2026, and Cyber Monday is 30 November.
Are the deals and codes on this page verified?
We list sales that the stores show on their own websites or have announced. Offers change fast and often depend on stock, so we don't guarantee every price. Check the latest code on our store page, and confirm the price at checkout before you pay.
Can I stack coupon codes with early Black Friday sale prices?
Sometimes. Some stores let you add a code to sale items, while others exclude sale items or allow only one discount per order. The terms are usually in the small print under the offer or at checkout. If a code is rejected, the sale price is usually the best you'll get.
Does Walmart have early Black Friday deals in 2026?
Yes. Walmart's Early Black Friday deals event runs from 12 to 15 November 2026, with early access for Walmart+ members. A second Black Friday event follows from 23 to 29 November.
Should I wait for Black Friday or buy now?
If an item is at a price you're happy with and the store has fair returns or price protection, buying now is reasonable. Popular items can sell out, and some early sales end before Black Friday week. If the discount is small, or the item regularly goes on sale, waiting until 19 to 30 November may get you more choice.
Conclusion
Early Black Friday deals are already live at Amazon and Best Buy, Walmart's first event starts on 12 November, and many brands, from EcoFlow to Cloudways, have their Black Friday prices up now. Note the end dates, use price protection where it's offered, and check our store pages for codes before you buy. We'll keep this list updated as more early Black Friday sales go live.
