We're predicting the official Target Black Friday sale will begin on Nov. 24, 2024, with sale prices on smart TVs, laptops, video game consoles, vacuums, and so much more.
Even though the Target Black Friday Sale may not start until the week of Thanksgiving, Target typically runs early Black Friday deals throughout the whole month of November. In 2023, they dropped three separate events with early deals, starting on Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023. Some of the best early deals were on the Dyson V8 vacuum, KitchenAid Mixers, Instant Pot Bundles, and artificial Christmas trees (for 50% off).
But as always, the main event brought in the hottest deals for up to 70% off. Not to mention all the free Target gift card offers available on select purchases — up to $75 per item! Based on all of this historical data, you'll likely see the first early Target Black Friday deals drop on Oct. 27, 2024 and then get a sneak peek at the official Black Friday deals on Nov. 21, 2024.
Don’t forget — last year Target’s holiday price adjustment policy guaranteed you the lowest Black Friday prices all the way through Christmas Eve. If this returns and you buy items early, but they get lower price drops before Dec. 24, you can still get the best deal. Also, don’t forget to keep your eye on Target’s Deal of the Day for up to 70% off hot items for one day only.
Here’s everything you need to know about Target Black Friday deals, including when they typically drop and the best deals we saw in 2023.

In 2023, Target’s first set of early deals started on Sunday, Oct. 29. This was the first of three pre-Black Friday events they ran throughout November, leading right up to their official sale on Nov. 19.

Official Target Black Friday deals start the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
You won’t have trouble finding hot deals at Target before Black Friday, but the best deals don’t start until the main event. This year, the main event is predicted to begin on Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024.
In 2023, Target Black Friday deals started on Sunday, Nov. 19, and ended on Saturday, Nov. 25. This is a trend they stick to year after year. Target typically starts Black Friday deals the Sunday before Thanksgiving and runs them through the following Saturday.
You can expect a preview of Target’s main Black Friday ad to drop just 2 – 3 days before the sale starts — that means you should watch for the preview on Thursday, Nov. 21, 2024.
Most Target Black Friday deals are valid all week, but some run for three days only.
In 2023, all the deals in the first 57 pages of Target’s ad were valid the whole week, from Sunday, Nov. 19 through Saturday, Nov. 25. But in the very back of the ad, we saw deals that ran for three days only, from Thursday, Nov. 23 through Saturday, Nov. 25. Expect the same thing this year.
These were the three-day-only deals:
Matching Sleepwear for the Family — 40% off
Boots for the Family — 40% off select items
Carter’s Just One You Baby Clothing — 40% off
Hearth & Hand with Magnolia Holiday Toys — $30 off select items
The best Target Black Friday deals are on tech, vacuums, and kitchen items.
Year after year, Target’s Black Friday deals stand out in three categories: tech, vacuums, and kitchen items. Target’s deals on video game bundles are also big. On top of sale prices, Target often offers up to $75 in free gift cards on items like the Xbox Series X Diablo IV Bundle for Black Friday.
