When is Black Friday?

In 2024, Black Friday falls on Friday, November 29 and continues through the weekend, culminating on Cyber Monday, December 2. However, as mentioned, many retailers have already launched Black Friday deals.

What is Black Friday?

Black Friday is an annual shopping event that kicks off the holiday season with big discounts across all types of products — from homeware and beauty to fashion and tech. Originally tied to the day after Thanksgiving in the US, Black Friday was first launched by Amazon in the UK in 2010 — and there's no sign of it slowing down, with the majority of retailers taking part.

It's considered to be one of the busiest shopping events of the year, often setting the tone for holiday sales, including the Boxing Day and January sales.
