Target Black Friday 2026: Daily Deals Start Nov. 1

The Target Black Friday sale is a monthlong marathon of Target deals. Target just confirmed some of their plans and, just like last year, deals kick off on Nov. 1, followed by an early Black Friday event (Nov. 5-7) and run through Thanksgiving weekend. Target Cyber Monday deals start right after.

We're still waiting on specific deals, but if they're anything like previous years, 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 .

Target’s 2026 Black Friday Timeline

• Nov. 5 - 7: 3-day Early Black Friday Sale

• Starting Nov. 14: New limited-time weekend offers

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

Last year, Target offered weeklong deals every Sunday, but this year it looks like they're replacing those with weekend deals starting Nov. 14.

What KCL Experts Think You Should Know

• Here's when to shop: The first wave of Target Black Friday deals starts with daily deals on Nov. 1, 2026, with weekend deals every weekend through Dec. 24. The early Black Friday Sale is confirmed for Nov. 5 - 7. The official Black Friday sale is predicted to start online on Nov. 26 and in stores on Nov. 27. But, thanks to Target's weekly ad cycle, expect some Black Friday week deals to kick off Sunday Nov. 22.

• Here's when stores open: Target stores are closed on Thanksgiving but open at 6 a.m. on Black Friday. Many locations stay open later than normal through the holiday season.

• Don’t miss the in-store giveaways: In 2025, the first 100 people in line at every store received a limited-edition iridescent holiday tote filled with small freebies. Ten shoppers per store found bonus surprises inside worth $99 - $350. And stores had samples of Starbucks Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate at the in-store cafes. Plus, you could play Target’s JoyPop Game to win Alpine Village-themed surprises like Yeti-inspired tags and iridescent wrapping paper.

Tips on How to Make Your Deal Shopping a Success

1. Shopping Options: Deals are available online at Target.com, in the Target app, and in stores. Black Friday deals hit online first.

2. Doorbusters: Target hasn’t offered doorbusters since 2019, though they offered in-store giveaways in 2025 for the first 100 shoppers on Black Friday.

3. Holiday Policies:

   • Price Matching: Target usually offers their Holiday Price Match Guarantee from Nov. 1 - Dec. 24, where they'll match their own prices if they go lower later in the season. Target no longer price matches competitors. We're keeping an eye out for this year's price match guarantee for the holidays.

   • Rain Checks: No rain checks are available on Black Friday deals.

   • Shipping and Delivery: Get free shipping on orders of $35 or more or same-day delivery free for Target Circle 360 members (orders of $35 or more). Local delivery is $9.99 for non-members.

4. Membership Perks: Target Circle 360 members and Target Circle Card holders don’t get early access, but Circle Card holders still save 5% on purchases. Look for a special intro offer through Black Friday, like $50 off a future purchase of $50 or more when you sign up for a Target Circle Card.

5. Cyber Monday Sale: Target’s Cyber Monday Sale is predicted to go live on Sunday, Nov. 29 through Monday, Nov. 30, 2026, featuring two days of online-only deals at Target.com.
