Singles Day 2026 (11.11): Best Deals, Dates and Codes

Updated November 2026

Singles Day 2026 is on Wednesday 11 November 2026, and the biggest 11.11 event for Western shoppers, AliExpress's 11.11 Global Shopping Festival, is already running from 1 to 18 November. This guide rounds up the singles day deals 2026 shoppers in the US, UK and EU can actually use. It covers the dates each sale runs and where to check current codes before you pay.

In short, AliExpress is the main 11.11 sale outside China. Amazon runs a dedicated 11.11 sale only in some markets, such as the UAE. In the US and most of Europe, the big retailers treat 11 November as the start of the early Black Friday deals season instead.

When Is Singles Day 2026, and How Long Do the Sales Last?

Singles Day is always 11 November, which is why it is also called 11.11 or Double 11. In 2026 it falls on a Wednesday. The day itself is only the peak, though. Most sellers now run their 11.11 sale for one to three weeks.

• AliExpress: the official 11.11 Global Shopping Festival runs from 1 to 18 November 2026. German deal sites also reported a short pre-sale from 29 to 31 October, and said some limited coupons were only available from 1 to 3 November.
• Amazon.ae: the 2026 11.11 Sale in the UAE runs from 5 to 12 November.
• US retailers: few run a sale branded as Singles Day. Best Buy's early Black Friday deals started on 6 November, Walmart's Early Black Friday event runs from 12 to 15 November, and Ulta's early sale runs until 21 November.

When coupon blogs list different dates, trust the store's own event page.

AliExpress 11.11 Sale 2026: How the Discounts Work

For most shoppers in the US, UK and EU, the AliExpress Singles Day sale is the main 11.11 sale 2026 event and the main reason to shop on the day. The discount usually comes from three layers that can apply to the same order:

1. The sale price set by each seller for the event.
2. Platform coupons from AliExpress itself. These usually work on spend thresholds, so the bigger the basket, the bigger the coupon. In 2026, German deal site mydealz reported tiers from €3 off €18 up to €80 off €469 for EU shoppers. Amounts and thresholds differ by country and currency.
3. Store and product coupons that individual sellers add on top.

AliExpress says US shoppers also get delivery protections, free shipping and free returns on Choice items during the festival, plus access to Brand+ deals from named brands. Our AliExpress Black Friday and 11.11 guide explains the app, coin games and coupon collection in more detail.

A few things to watch. Discount depth varies a lot by seller, so a claim of 90% off a phone or branded item is a warning sign, not a bargain. Check the seller's rating and feedback count, look at the shipping cost and delivery estimate, and compare the price with what the item cost a few weeks ago. Some sellers raise prices before the sale so the "discount" looks bigger.

Amazon and Singles Day: What to Expect

Amazon does not run a Singles Day sale on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk. In some markets it does: Amazon.ae, for example, is running its 2026 11.11 Sale from 5 to 12 November.

In the US, Amazon's own Black Friday page says early deals are already available in the Holiday Shop. Amazon had not announced its 2026 Black Friday Week dates by 9 November. For context, in 2025 Black Friday Week started on Thursday 20 November. Deal sites expect the 2026 event to start around Thursday 19 November, but that is a prediction, not a confirmed date. Black Friday itself is Friday 27 November and Cyber Monday is Monday 30 November.

If you shop on Amazon around 11.11, check the product page for clippable coupons and look at our Amazon coupons page before you check out. For the full Black Friday picture, see our Amazon Black Friday 2026 guide.

DHgate on 11.11

DHgate has marked Double Eleven in past years. In 2021, for example, it ran a Double Eleven shopping festival from 10 to 13 November. On 9 November 2026 we could not find an official announcement of a 2026 11.11 event, so we are not listing any 11.11-specific discount for DHgate.

What you can use now are DHgate's regular November coupons. They usually depend on order value and sometimes on the app. Check the current list on our DHgate voucher codes page. DHgate is a marketplace of independent sellers, many shipping from China, so check seller ratings, the delivery estimate and the return terms. If you are buying Christmas gifts, order early.

Temu, Shein and Other 11.11 Sellers

Singles Day started in China, so Chinese-owned platforms take part more than Western chains. ShopBack's Singles Day guide lists Temu and Shein as 11.11 participants in the US, along with travel platforms such as Trip.com, Klook and Agoda. Offers on these sites change daily and differ by country, so we have not put them in the table. Our Temu Black Friday guide and Shein Black Friday guide cover how their sales usually work, plus sizing and return checks.

Singles Day or Black Friday: Buy Now or Wait?

Singles Day sale 2026 prices can be good, but they are not always lower than Black Friday prices two weeks later. A simple rule:

• Buy on 11.11 if you are ordering from AliExpress, DHgate, Temu or Shein, because their biggest coupons of the autumn are often tied to this sale. Items shipping from China also need extra delivery time before Christmas.
• Wait for Black Friday for most US, UK and EU retailers and big brands, such as electronics, appliances and beauty. Their main events run from about 19 to 30 November.
• Buy early if a store offers a price guarantee or price adjustment. Then you can buy now and claim the difference if the price drops. Our Black Friday price match and returns guide lists store rules.

Singles Day 2026 Shopping Checklist

1. Make a list before 11 November and set a budget, so a countdown timer doesn't make the decision for you.
2. Check the price history of each item from the last few weeks, so you know the real starting price.
3. Collect coupons early. On AliExpress, platform coupons are often limited and can run out during the event.
4. Add items to your cart before the peak, because popular items can sell out quickly.
5. Check codes on CouponFlick. Look at the store page (for example DHgate or Amazon) and test the code in your cart.
6. Compare totals including shipping, import VAT or duty, and any currency conversion fee from your card.
7. Read the return terms before you pay, especially for marketplace sellers and items shipped from outside your country.
8. Pay with buyer protection, such as a credit card or PayPal, and keep your order confirmations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best singles day deals 2026?

For shoppers in the US, UK and EU, the biggest Singles Day deals in 2026 are on AliExpress, whose 11.11 Global Shopping Festival runs from 1 to 18 November with layered platform, store and product coupons. Amazon runs an 11.11 sale in the UAE from 5 to 12 November. In the US, the best deals around 11.11 are the early Black Friday sales at stores such as Best Buy, Ulta and Walmart.

When does Singles Day 2026 start and end?

Singles Day itself is Wednesday 11 November 2026. Many sales run longer: AliExpress from 1 to 18 November, and Amazon.ae from 5 to 12 November. Each store sets its own dates, so check the store's event page.

Are the deals and codes verified?

We list offers that the store's own site, or at least two reputable sources, showed on 9 November 2026. We do not guarantee that a code will work for your order. Coupons can be limited, end early or exclude some items, so check the code on our store page and confirm the final price in your cart before you pay.

Can coupon codes be stacked with sale prices?

Often, yes. On AliExpress, a platform coupon and a store coupon can usually be used on top of the 11.11 sale price in the same order. Many other stores allow only one code per order, or exclude items that are already reduced. The checkout page will show whether a code applied. Our guide to stacking coupons explains the usual rules.

Does Amazon have a Singles Day sale?

Not in the US or UK. Amazon runs an 11.11 sale in some markets, including the UAE (5 to 12 November 2026). In the US, Amazon has early holiday deals now, with its Black Friday Week expected later in November.

Is Singles Day bigger than Black Friday?

In China, Singles Day has long been the biggest online shopping event of the year. Alibaba stopped publishing a single 11.11 sales total after 2021, so direct comparisons are harder now. In the US and Europe, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are still much bigger for most retailers.

Conclusion

Singles Day 2026 is on Wednesday 11 November, but the deals run well beyond one day. AliExpress's 11.11 festival lasts until 18 November, Amazon.ae's 11.11 Sale ends on 12 November, and US stores are already in early Black Friday mode. Buy marketplace items around 11.11, and wait for Black Friday week for most big-brand items. Before you pay, check the latest codes on our DHgate and Amazon pages and our Black Friday deals hub.
