When is Black Friday 2026, and what are the store hours? This page gathers, in our own words, the dates that stores post on their own pages, read on October 26, 2026. Stores often add details in November, and their pages are the ones that apply.
The key dates
| Date | What happens |
|---|---|
| Sunday, November 1, 2026 | Target's holiday price match starts |
| Thursday, November 26, 2026 | Thanksgiving; Costco warehouses closed |
| Friday, November 27, 2026 | Black Friday, the date Best Buy gives for its 2026 sale |
| Monday, November 30, 2026 | End of Costco's holiday savings period |
| Thursday, December 24, 2026 | Last day Target's holiday price match covers |
Store hours on Black Friday
As of October 26, none of the store pages we read list opening times for Black Friday 2026. Costco says its warehouse locator shows each warehouse's Black Friday hours, so check your local warehouse page closer to the day. The one firm hours fact so far comes from Costco's holiday savings page: its warehouses will be closed on Thursday, November 26, 2026, for Thanksgiving.
Best Buy
Best Buy's Black Friday page tells shoppers to mark November 27 for its Black Friday 2026 sale. One rule matters for bargain hunters: Best Buy's price match guarantee does not cover competitor prices from the Thursday before Thanksgiving through the Monday after, or items marked as Black Friday pricing. If you plan to ask for a match, do it before or after that stretch. More in when Best Buy has sales.
Costco
Costco's holiday savings page shows deals valid from October 30 through November 30, 2026, with dates that vary by item. Some offers run only from November 27 to November 30, while others run in windows that end November 15, so the start of Black Friday deals online can come well before the Friday itself. Costco's Black Friday page lists electronics, appliances, clothing, shoes, jewelry and toys among its deal categories. See the Costco sales calendar.
Target
Target's holiday price match covers purchases made from November 1, 2026. If the price at Target goes lower on or before December 24, 2026, you can ask for the difference with your receipt. That means an early purchase is protected if the same item drops on Black Friday at Target itself.
Amazon
For past Black Friday Week dates and Amazon's other events, see the Amazon sales calendar.
How to plan
- Mark Thanksgiving week. Black Friday is November 27 and the deal windows we read end on November 30.
- Buy early at Target. Its holiday price match protects purchases from November 1.
- Check hours the day before. Use each store's locator for local times.
- Read deal dates. Costco lists a valid date range on each offer.
