Trying to keep track of Dickā€™s Sporting Goodsā€™ sale schedule is a reliable way to go nuts. The store throws so many flash sales, department- or brand-wide deals and clearance events that itā€™s difficult to know when youā€™re getting real value or even what you should or shouldnā€™t buy.

Fortunately, crazy is our M.O. around here, so Iā€™ve been digging through a few years of Dickā€™s sales in order to map out the best time to buy everything.

From now on, Iā€™m looking for 50% savings when Iā€™m shopping for apparel from Nike and adidas. The same goes for The North Face jackets. Iā€™m waiting for 50% off on treadmills, and Iā€™m staying far away from the golf section unless itā€™s March, April, or December.

And Iā€™m adding Dickā€™s Sporting Goods to my favorite stores on the KCL appā€”these deals move fast, and the app lets me know as soon as the best ones hit.

Ā 

Hereā€™s a quick and dirty cheat sheet for every Dickā€™s Sporting Goods Sale under the sun, but read on and Iā€™ll break it down for you!

1. Buy Nike and adidas during Dickā€™s weekly flash sales for 50% off.

The Nike clothing section at Dicks Sporting Goods

If Dickā€™s ever goes more than one week without a flash sale, itā€™s only by a day or two. And if you check those sales, itā€™s almost a certainty that youā€™ll find Nike apparel and shoes at a discounted price.

The standard Dickā€™s flash sale includes 20 to 50% off. A few of the flash sales weā€™ve seen in the past include:

Buy 1 Nike Menā€™s Grey/Blue Air Max Wildcard Tennis Shoes (reg. $89.99) $44.97, sale price through Feb. 6
Free shipping on orders of $49+ or free store pickup
Final Price: $44.97

Buy 1 adidas Glow Pink Womenā€™s Run It Running Shorts (reg. $30.00) $9.97, sale price through 2/6
Free shipping on orders $49+ or free store pickup
Final Price: $9.97

2. Wait for Dickā€™s flash sales to buy your kidsā€™ sports equipment for 30 ā€“ 50% off.

In addition to the four core types of items you can expect to find in any Dickā€™s flash sale, they always include either fitness gear, equipment from a team sport, or both.

The savings are the same: up to 30 ā€“ 50% off each product. Here are some examples of what Iā€™ve seen:

Buy 1 Rawlings VELO ACP BBCOR Bat 2020 (reg. $349.99) $199.99, sale price
Free shipping on items $49+ or free curbside pickup
Final Price: $199.99

Buy 1 adidas Menā€™s X Ghosted.3 Laceless FG Soccer Cleats (reg. $99.99) $49.98 sale price
Free curbside pickup
Final Price: $49.98

3. Save $95 on full Top Flite club sets in March and April.

Dickā€™s best sale for Golf everything is their annual Golf-A-Thon, which takes place thru March and April. In years past, weā€™ve seen Dickā€™s offer just over 30% off a full set of Top Flite clubs:

Buy 1 Top Flite XL 13-Piece Complete Club Set (reg. $299) $204.98 sale price
Free shipping on orders of $49+ or free curbside pickup
Final Price: $204.98
Compare to Wilson Womenā€™s SGI Complete Set from Amazon $349.99

4. And find Walter Hagen golf apparel BOGO free during weekly flash sales.

If youā€™re looking for golf clothes, you might not need to shop anywhere else. Dickā€™s sells Walter Hagen, Lady Hagen, and womenā€™s Slazenger items BOGO free or BOGO 50% off on a weekly basis during their Flash Sales, and the pricing beats Amazon and Walmart.

Buy 1 Walter Hagen Perfect 11 Turtle Print Golf Polo (reg. $70) $49, sale price

5. Wait for January to buy high-end outerwear at Dickā€™s for 50 ā€“ 60% off.

Dickā€™s runs a clearance event around New Yearā€™s, which promises up to 75% off, but honestly, Iā€™ve never seen it get that high. Dickā€™s also runs another flash sale on outerwear later in the month.

Buy 1 Columbia Menā€™s Tipton Peak Insulated Jacket (reg. $160) $99.98, sale price
Free shipping on orders of $49+ or free curbside pickup

6. Hit up Dickā€™s May boat sale for 40% off Pelican Kayaks.

This sale usually hits during the third week of May and through Memorial Day. The sales include inner tubes and kayaks, but sometimes stand-up paddleboards, as well. Last year we found this Pelican Kayak for 42% off.

Pelican 10ā€² Trailblazer 100 NXT Kayak (reg. $279.99) $159.98, sale price
Free shipping on orders of $49+ or free curbside pickup
Final Price: $159.98
Compare to Academy Sports + Outdoors and save $90

7. Buy adult mountain bikes like the GT Aggressor Pro for 50% off in April.

Iā€™m definitely the kind of person who would realize mountain biking is a bad idea only after Iā€™ve started barreling down a hill I have no business riding down. And the only thing that would make that situation worse is if I had paid $600-plus just to seriously hurt myself.

Iā€™d rather seriously injure myself at a serious discount:

Buy 1 GT Menā€™s Aggressor Pro Mountain Bike (reg. $669.99) $334.99, sale price
Free shipping on orders $49+ or free curbside pickup
Final Price: $334.99
Compare to Trek beginner mountain bikes for $469.99

The catch? Dickā€™s only allows bike returns within 24 hours of assemblyā€”which theyā€™ll do for free, by the way.

8.Outdoor and camping gear go for 20 ā€“ 40% off in June.

Memorial Day marks a move toward the outdoors at Dickā€™s. As in, thatā€™s when they start putting a ton of camping gear on sale. Dickā€™s also sells outdoor games $19.99 and above (think: bocce ball, bags) BOGO 50% off.

Buy 1 Hydro Flask 20L Insulated Cooler Tote (reg. $64.95) $48.71, sale price

9. Hit Black Friday basketball hoop sales and save 70%.

Dickā€™s usually recycles the same deals we see earlier in the year for its Black Friday sales. But there are exceptions, such as the deals weā€™ve found on basketball hoops for more than $600 off:

Buy 1 Goaliath 50-Inch Warrior In-Ground Basketball Hoop (reg. $999.95) $299.98, sale price through 11/29
Free shipping through 11/29
Final Price: $299.98

10. Donā€™t sleep on after-Christmas clearance sales!

Look, itā€™s at least worth a stroll around the store if you have to return something, anyway. On top of those outerwear deals I mentioned above, weā€™ve also found 50% off womenā€™s adidas hoodies and menā€™s Field & Stream flannel shirts.

Buy 1 adidas Womenā€™s Melange Hoodie (reg. $80.00) $40.00, sale price
Free shipping on orders of $49+ or free store pickup
Final Price: $40.00
