When is Black Friday in the UK?
Black Friday falls on November 29 this year, the day directly after the US Thanksgiving holiday.
Black Friday is a shopping tradition that first started in the US back in the 1960s, before migrating over to the UK around a decade ago.
Each year Black Friday only grows bigger, and it is now considered a global sales event with thousands of participating brands and retailers.
If you've got a favourite brand in mind, there's a good chance you can find all of this year's best UK sales over on our Black Friday topic page.
The November sale is a clear rival to the popular UK Boxing Day sales period following Christmas and Amazon’s annual Prime Day.
Where to find the best Black Friday deals
We're expecting to see huge discounts across multiple sectors during Black Friday - from tech and beauty to homeware, toys, and more.
Based on previous sales, you can expect to find the best Black Friday deals from major online sellers such as Amazon, Argos, , John Lewis, Currys, and eBay.
Here are several other retailers and brands worth checking out during November:

You can also take a look at our Tonies Black Friday deals guide if you're on the hunt for even more toys.
When should I start looking for Black Friday deals?
Traditionally Black Friday sales begin at midnight on November 29, however, many retailers now launch their sales weeks in advance.
The best offers are generally only available during the week of Black Friday, so keep your eyes peeled throughout the month.
We'll recommend all the best bargains in our Black Friday guides, so do have a read for inspiration, and remember to bookmark all of your favourite pages.
You can also sign up for retailer newsletters and follow key stores on social media to get important announcements and sale previews.
Most Black Friday sales will come to an end on Cyber Monday, which falls on December 2, 2024.
Cyber Monday is traditionally an online-only sale for retailers to slash prices ahead of the festive season.
Originally just a marketing ploy, the event has now become a final opportunity to pick up savings on coveted items.
How to find the best black friday deals
Black Friday is a great time to purchase a wide range of items across all categories.
But to really understand whether you are getting a good deal, we advise shoppers to check price comparison sites to find the lowest price a product has been recently marked down to.
If you see a deal during Black Friday that's cheaper than the guide price listed on the comparison website, you can be fairly confident you're getting a good saving.
Here are some of our top shopping tips for getting the best deals in this year's biggest sales events:
- Do your homework - Don't just rush into a purchase on Black Friday itself. Plan what you want to buy and take a look at how items are currently priced so that you know where the big savings are.
- Shop around - The joy of Black Friday is that all of the retailers are competing to offer you the best deal. Make sure you take advantage of that. Compare and contrast different items or packages, and find the one that suits you.
- Start early - Keep your eyes peeled for bargains in the run-up to Black Friday; the early bird catches the deal. And if you're waiting for the day itself, set your alarm and start shopping first thing so that you beat the competition.
- Don't forget the last-minute deals - Alternatively, if you can hold your nerve, you'll find massive savings at the end of Cyber Monday, as retailers offer their final deals. You might find they've saved the best for last.
- Take advice - That's what we're here for! If in doubt, follow our guidance for the greatest deals and how best to shop on Black Friday and Cyber Monday and beyond!
When do the best early deals start?
As mentioned above, some of the UK's best Black Friday sales start weeks ahead of the official date.
In reality, Black Friday 2024 will likely span the entire month of November, so don't put off your deal-hunting until the big day itself.
This is a hugely competitive time for retailers, so each year they kick off their sales earlier and earlier in a bid to outdo each other.
Whether you plan to head to your favourite shops or sit on your sofa and browse online, it's best to stay up to date with all the latest deals from key retailers by following this guide.
What Black Friday deals to expect?
Black Friday has become synonymous with tech savings, and shoppers can expect deals from popular brands such as Apple, Samsung, Fitbit, and more.
If you're after an Echo Dot, Ring Doorbell, or any of Amazon's cheap-and-cheerful smart devices, they'll almost definitely be absurdly cheap.
Big-brand appliances that rarely go on sale will get their moment in the limelight too.
You can also expect incredible savings on other categories such as baby, beauty, and fashion.
And don't go thinking it's just high-spend items that are included in the sale.
During Black Friday, a quick peruse on Amazon will throw up all sorts of discounts on everyday products such as dishwasher tablets and boxes of Quality Street.
There’s always a saving to suit your shopping needs!
