And if you're a Plus member, you'll get an extra boost, with early access to deals both online (12 hours early) and in-store (one hour early).

Consider this your insider guide to the Black Friday deals you shouldn't miss next year, plus get our best tips for shopping the sale so that you can put together a winning Black Friday schedule at Sam's Club.

Here are the most important dates you need to know for 2026:

• Nov. 6 - 8: Weekend Doorbuster deals (predicted)

• Nov. 15 - 25: Early Black Friday deals (predicted)

• Nov. 26 - 30: Black Friday deals (predicted)

What KCL Experts Think You Should Know

• Here's when to shop: Early Black Friday deals will likely run Nov. 15 - 25, 2026, with the main Black Friday Sale predicted to start Thursday, Nov. 26, and run through Monday, Nov. 30, 2026 (aka Cyber Monday).

• Here's when stores open: Online deals will likely kick off at 12:01 a.m. ET on Nov. 26 (or 12 hours early for Plus members starting noon ET on Nov. 25). Stores will be closed on Thanksgiving, but will open at 9 a.m. on Black Friday (8 a.m. for Plus members).

• Use the KCL app: Download the free KCL app to set Deal Planner alerts so you never miss a price drop or hot deal.

• Look for the Sam's Club Black Friday ad preview in the November Instant Savings Book: We typically see a Black Friday preview in the November Instant Savings book online, with more than a dozen deals coming during the sale.

• Don't expect a physical Black Friday ad: For the past few years, Sam's Club has skipped the traditional mailed ad and just does sneak peeks of the deals online a few days before the sale starts.

• This is the sale for home items, tech, toys, and gifts: Expect savings ranging from 10% - 50% on popular brands across electronics, kitchen essentials, clothing, and toys.

• Gift card deals are reliably good: Sam's Club usually offers a variety of gift cards for less than face value during Black Friday. They're online only and sell out fast, so make them a top priority.

• Download the Scan & Go app: Skip the checkout lines by scanning items with Scan & Go as you shop and paying through the app.

• Expect big discounts on multiple products: We'll see up to 42% off toys, up to 26% off electronics, and significant savings on clothing and home items.

Tips on How to Make Your Deal Shopping a Success

1. Shopping Options: Shop both online and in-store for most deals. Some deals (like photo discounts, furniture, mattresses, and eGift cards) are online exclusives only. Look for "Online Only" labels.

2. Doorbusters and Sellout Risk:

• Weekend Doorbusters Available: About three weeks before Black Friday (early November), Sam's Club weekend doorbusters feature a different selection of gift-worthy items that tend to sell out quickly.

• High Sellout-Risk Items: Gift cards typically sell out within the first day. Hot electronics and toys also go fast.

• Pro Tip: Plus members get early access, but some really hot deals (like discounted gift cards) are excluded from Plus early access anyway.

3. Holiday Policies:

• Returns: You can return almost anything else, anytime, thanks to their generous return policy. However, gift cards can't be returned.

• Sale Limits: Expect all gift card specials to have purchase limits (usually a limit of two per person).

4. Membership Perks:

• Plus Early Access: Shop online 12 hours early (likely starting noon ET on Nov. 25) and get into stores one hour early (8 a.m. vs. 9 a.m.).

• Plus Benefits: Get free shipping on orders of $50 or more.

• Is it worth it? It's probably not necessary unless you're after a super-hot item that's tough to find in stock. A Plus membership costs $110/year vs. $50 for regular Club membership.

• New Membership Deal: The Sam's Club 1-Year Basic membership typically goes on sale during Black Friday for as low as $25 (regularly $50), or 50% off, and a Plus membership is usually on sale for $70 (regularly $110), which is 36% off. These offers are for new sign-ups only.

5. Cyber Monday Sale: Cyber Monday is predicted to start Nov. 30, 2026, at 12:01 a.m. ET with online-only savings. Plus members typically get access three hours early. New deals arrive on Cyber Monday, but Sam's Club tends to offer different deals on different products for Black Friday vs. Cyber Monday — so don't skip Black Friday waiting for Cyber Monday.
