Every November, the day after Thanksgiving turns Best Buy into a scramble of doorbuster TVs and marked-down laptops, and the shoppers who plan ahead tend to walk away with the best prices. Black Friday 2026 lands on November 27, but the deals will start showing up weeks earlier, and this year the timing matters more than usual because electronics are quietly getting more expensive, not less.
Black Friday 2026 falls on Friday, November 27, the day after Thanksgiving.
Best Buy has not yet announced the exact start date for its 2026 sale, but its recent pattern is consistent enough to predict with confidence.
Based on the last three years, expect early doorbuster deals to begin around Halloween, with a fresh batch dropping every Friday through the season.
The official Black Friday Sale, the big one, has kicked off on the Thursday roughly a week to ten days before Black Friday itself, which points to around Thursday, November 19, 2026.
