Kohl’s Black Friday deals bring savings of over 80% every year, thanks to all the extra discounts (coupons, bonus Kohl's Cash, and rebates). Kohl's ran their 2025 Black Friday sale Nov. 23 - 29, and we expect to see it back the Sunday before Thanksgiving next year.

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

  • Nov. 22 - 28 (predicated): This is when the official Kohl's Black Friday Sale will likely happen. Some doorbusters will be on Thanksgiving and Black Friday only. The 15%-off promo code and the bonus Kohl's Cash will also likely return ($15 for every $50 spent). Plus, expect a special giveaway for in-store shoppers. In 2025, the first 200 in-store shoppers got Kohl's Cash at the door ($5 - $100) at 5 a.m.

What KCL Experts Think You Should Know

  • Here's when to shop: The Kohl's Black Friday sale always starts the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Deals drop online at 12:01 a.m. CT online and in stores during regular hours on that Sunday. Stores are closed Thanksgiving but open super early on Black Friday at 5 a.m.

    • Early Black Friday event (Nov. 6 - 8, predicted): Koh's usually does an early access event in early November. In 2025, it included a promo code for 15% off and bonus Kohl's Cash ($15 for every $50 spent) on the first day of the event.

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

  • Get bonus Kohl's Cash: During the Black Friday sale, Kohl's always offers $15 in Kohl's Cash for every $50 spent (up from the usual $10 in Kohl's Cash for every $50 spent). You'll want to take that Kohl's Cash into account, because it often helps Kohl's deals beat other stores’ Black Friday sales. For example, in 2025, the Ninja Slushi Frozen Drink maker was $269.99, down from $349.99. That's the same price Amazon was offering. But you got $75 back in Kohl's Cash, though, meaning your actual price was $194.99, assuming you spent that Kohl’s Cash. Before that, the lowest we saw this product go was $299.99 during October Prime Day.

  • Don't forget to use your bonus Kohl's Cash: If you earn bonus Kohl's Cash during the Black Friday sale, remember that it can be redeemed only during a certain window (usually Cyber Monday through mid-December). So if you didn't find something on sale during Black Friday, you can use your Kohl's Cash to buy it later, but you do have to remember to use it.

  • Look for the promo codes: In the Kohl's Black Friday ad, there are always special codes that get you additional discounts. In 2024 you could use promo code GET15 to get 15% off most items in the sale. Rewards members could use code REWARDS10 to get 10% off home items.

  • You can get instant Kohl's Cash at the door on Black Friday: In 2025, the first 200 shoppers at Kohl's stores on Black Friday got instant Kohl's Cash ( to use within seven days). The Kohl's Cash was between $5 and $100 and was given out at the door starting 5 a.m. (while supplies lasted). And 10 shoppers nationwide got $10,000.

  • Certain deals run Thanksgiving through Black Friday only: Kohl's always reserves certain doorbuster deals for Thanksgiving (online only) and Black Friday (online and in stores). This year, they're adding Saturday into the mix, so these doorbusters will run for three days. In 2025, the doorbusters included the following:

    • 50% off games and puzzles (you can't use coupons on these)

    • Pajama pants starting at $19.99

    • Toastmaster kitchen appliances starting at $9.99 (reg. $24.99)

Tips on How to Make Your Deal Shopping a Success

1. Shopping Options: Kohl's Black Friday deals are all available online and in stores. Stores are closed on Thanksgiving, though, so you'll need to shop online. And to enter the sweepstakes, you'll need to shop in-store on Black Friday.

2. Doorbusters: Kohl's calls the deals that run Thursday and Friday only "doorbusters," although they're available both online and in stores. These deals drop online on 12:01 a.m. CT on Thanskgiving Day and when stores open on Black Friday at 5 a.m.

3. Holiday Policies:

  • Price Matching: You can't price match at Kohl's during the Black Friday sale. The Kohl's price match policy states “purchases made during Thanksgiving week, purchases made during the week of Cyber Monday will not be adjusted during Thanksgiving week and during the week of Cyber Monday.”

  • Shipping: During the Black Friday sale, you'll get free shipping on orders of $25 or more. You usually need to spend $49 to get free shipping.

4. Cyber Monday: Kohl's Cyber Monday starts the Sunday after Thanksgiving. The Kohl's Cyber Monday sale isn't generally better than Black Friday, but slightly different. In 2025, Kohl's offered an extra 20% off with a coupon code, plus $15 in Kohl's Cash for every $50 spent. So if you're after a specific product, look at Kohl's Black Friday. Then come back for Cyber Monday if you have any general gifting to do.
