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 starts their Black Friday sale the Sunday before Thanksgiving every year (with a Pre-Black Friday sale in early-November).

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

Nov. 6-8: Kohl's Early Access Black Friday Savings. This is their pre-Black Friday sale, and it happens every year. You can get up to 50% off, $15 in Kohl's Cash for every $50 spent on Nov. 6, $10 in Kohl's Cash for every $50 spent on Nov. 7-8, and 20% off with coupon.
Nov. 22 - 28 (confirmed): This is when the official Kohl's Black Friday Sale will happen. Some doorbusters will be on Thanksgiving and Black Friday only. Kohl's is also bringing back $15 in Kohl's Cash for every $50 spent and 20% off with coupon. Plus, in-store shoppers get special giveaways.

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): Kohl's usually does an early access event in early November. In 2026, it includes a promo code for 20% off and bonus Kohl's Cash ($15 for every $50 spent) on the first day of the event.

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. Before that, the lowest we saw this product go was $299.99 during October Prime Day.
You can get instant Kohl's Cash at the door on Black Friday: In 2026, the first 200 shoppers at Kohl's stores on Black Friday get instant Kohl's Cash ( to use the same day). The Kohl's Cash is between $5 and $100 and will be given out at the door starting 5 a.m., while supplies lasted.
In-store shoppers get giveaways: New for 2026: Sephora gift cards! On Saturday Nov. 28, the first 200 shoppers get $5 to $100 to use at Sephora at Kohl's (same-day). Plus, from Nov. 27-30, in-store and online shippers can enter the Kohl's Black Friday sweepstakes for a chance at Kohl's gift cards, product bundles, and a $10,000 cash prize.
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 2026, the coupon will get you 20% of, up from 15% off last year.
Certain deals run Thanksgiving through Black Friday only: Kohl's always reserves certain doorbuster deals for Thanksgiving (online only) and Black Friday weekend (online and in stores) from Nov. 27-28. 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 it is 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.
