Target Black Friday 2026: Predicted Dates, Deals, and Sale Schedule

The Target Black Friday sale is a monthlong marathon of Target deals that will kick off on Nov. 1 and run through Thanksgiving weekend, with Target Cyber Monday deals right after. You'll see weeklong Black Friday offers, daily savings for Circle members, and the Early Black Friday Sale with up to 50% off toys, plus extra savings with the Target toy coupon .

While we look ahead to 2026, the 2025 Deal of the Day and weekly deals are still ongoing through Dec. 24, so there’s plenty of time to shop the current offers before they expire.

Here’s what we predict for Target’s 2026 Black Friday timeline:

• Nov. 1 - Dec. 24: Deal of the Day

• Nov. 1 - Dec. 24: Weeklong deals every Sunday

• Nov. 5 - 7: 3-day Early Black Friday Sale with up to 50% off toys, home, and apparel

• Nov. 22 - 28: Early Black Friday deals on tech, electronics, Apple products, and more

• Nov. 26 (online)/Nov. 27 (in stores): Official Target Black Friday event starts
