When is Black Friday 2025? What is Cyber Monday?
This year, Black Friday is on Friday, 29th of November 2024. That said, retailers don't just stop the savings when it hits midnight on Saturday morning.
Additional deals will bubble up over the Black Friday weekend, culminating in Cyber Monday, another Black Friday-style day of deals that, while previously focused on online deals, will be valid in brick-and-mortar stores, too.
