When Is Black Friday 2025?
This year, Black Friday will fall on November 28. As ever, it follows the day after US Thanksgiving, which takes place on the fourth Thursday of the month. That said, Black Friday deals have already begun to launch, with all the biggest retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, and Best Buy, as well as the most popular streaming services getting involved earlier and earlier every year. We expect to see deals starting as early as next week.
What stores have Black Friday sales?
Almost all major retailers, both digital and brick-and-mortar, will have huge deals and discounts for both Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Of course the major players like Amazon, Apple, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart will offer arguably their lowest prices and best deals of the year, but don't forget about third party storefronts on Amazon. We're also expecting some of the best streaming services to offer huge discounts as well, so be sure to check back as new deals drop.

Why are they called "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday?"
In 1869, investors Jay Gould and Jim Fisk drove the price of gold up, causing the market to crash. The term "Black Friday" was coined to describe that dark day on September 24th, and was then subsequently used to describe other bad situations. Flash forward to 1950's Philadelphia where police were calling the influx of shoppers who poured into the city the day after Thanksgiving, which they dubbed "Black Friday," connecting the term to the shopping event. Due to the negative connottion associated with the the term, the event would go through a failed name change, the short lived "Big Friday."
The holiday continued to grow throughout the rest of the century and into the early 2000s when the National Retail Federation introduced "Cyber Monday" due to the sharp increase in online traffic and revenue on the Monday that followed Black Friday. Since the shift from mainly in-person sales to digital sales, the "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday" terms are now used to describe huge discounts and deals throughout the month of November, while officially still remaining on the Friday after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday and the following Monday.
