When is Black Friday 2026?
Black Friday 2026 falls on Friday 27 November 2026, the day after Thanksgiving; in 2027 it falls on Friday 26 November 2027. It anchors the five-day Cyber Week — Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday — though in practice deals now span all of November.

When is Cyber Monday 2026?
Cyber Monday 2026 falls on Monday 30 November 2026 (29 November 2027). It remains the single biggest online shopping day of the year in the US, worth over $13 billion in sales.
When is Amazon Prime Day 2027?
Amazon Prime Day 2027 has not been announced; based on recent years, expect a four-day event in June or July 2027. Prime Day 2026 ran 23–26 June — notably earlier than the traditional July slot. Walmart, Target and other major retailers run counter-sales (Walmart Deals, Target Circle Week) the same week, making it a whole-market event, and Amazon's fall sequel — Prime Big Deal Days — typically lands in early-to-mid October.
Holiday-Monday sales: the year-round rhythm
The US calendar runs on long-weekend sales: Presidents' Day (16 February 2026 / 15 February 2027), Memorial Day (25 May 2026 / 31 May 2027), Independence Day (4 July), and Labor Day (7 September 2026 / 6 September 2027). Mattresses, appliances and furniture dominate these events — categories where "wait for the holiday sale" is ingrained consumer behavior.
State tax-free weekends
Over 15 states run sales-tax holidays — mostly late July to August, aligned with back-to-school — where clothing, school supplies and sometimes computers are tax-exempt for a weekend. Dates are set by each state legislature annually (TBA each year), and each one produces a measurable, state-specific ecommerce spike.
Emerging sales days in the US 🌱
Travel Tuesday (1 December 2026 / 30 November 2027) is the fastest-growing new date — it now outperforms Black Friday for travel bookings. The Asian double-days are arriving more slowly: 10.10 (Saturday 10 October 2026) and 12.12 (Saturday 12 December 2026) appear among DTC fashion and beauty brands, while Singles' Day 11.11 remains overshadowed by Veterans Day promotions sharing the same date.
