Status key: Announced means the retailer or a news outlet quoting the retailer published the dates. Reported means a deal site gave the dates and we could not confirm them on the retailer's page. Not announced yet means we found no 2026 Black Friday dates. Last checked 23 Oct 2026.
As of 23 Oct 2026, neither Walmart nor Amazon has published 2026 Black Friday sale dates. Walmart has said its stores are closed on Thanksgiving, and Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days on 6 to 7 October were a separate event. We will move each store into the calendar above as soon as it announces and we can confirm the dates. Kohl's and Macy's had also not announced dates when deal sites checked on 22 October.

Early sales often include home and furniture items, but stock can sell out and delivery times vary. If you want a gift to arrive before the holidays, check the retailer's delivery estimate at checkout. Our own curated home gifts include shipping to the lower 48 states and DC, and they usually arrive 1 to 3 weeks after payment, so order early if you want them before the holidays. See the Black Friday home gift picks, the shipping page and the buying guides before you decide.

We read each retailer's own announcement or sale page where we could, and otherwise a news outlet or deal site quoting it, and recorded the dates and the source next to each store. We did not guess any date. If a store has not published dates, it says not announced yet.
