Quand est Black Friday en 2026?
Black Friday falls the day after Thanksgiving in the US. The term originated in Philadelphia in the 1960s, describing heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic. It later became associated with retailers moving from 'red' (loss) to 'black' (profit). It has grown into the biggest shopping day of the year.
Retailers offer massive sales and discounts, often starting at midnight or earlier. Door-buster deals create long lines. Online shopping on Cyber Monday extends the shopping weekend. Many retailers now start sales on Thanksgiving Day itself.
Black Friday has expanded globally. The UK, Canada, Australia, and many European countries now participate. In China, Singles' Day (November 11) is an even larger shopping event. Amazon's Prime Day has become another major shopping event.
Black Friday 2026 falls on 28/11/2026. Visit our countdown page to see exactly how many days are left!
