Target's most recent Deal of the Day promotion wrapped up on Dec. 24, but we fully expect another round of daily deals to return in March 2026. When a Deal of the Day event is underway, Target unveils a new deal each day. These deals only last for — you guessed it — 24 hours, and some do sell out even before the deal period ends, so be prepared to act fast if it's something you've been eyeing.
Of course, you’ll need to have a free Target Circle membership to access any of the Target Deal of the Day offers, which are available in stores and online (read our Target Circle guide to learn more). And if you have a Circle Card , you'll save an extra 5% on top of the advertised sale price.

Target's Deal of the Day event is offered multiple times a year for Target Circle members, with 24-hour exclusive sales.
Target has been running their Deal of the Day event ever since 2015. You'll see the Deal of the Day promotion pop up in March, July, and October (coinciding with each Target Circle Week sale) and during the holiday season for nearly two months leading up to Christmas Eve. You can join Target Circle for free and get access to the Target Deal of the Day offers. And you'll save an extra 5% if you pay with a Circle Card . Deals are available both online and in-store.
You don't need a paid membership to get the Target Deal of the Day — the free Circle membership is fine.
In order to access the daily deals, you need to have either a free Target Circle membership or a paid Target 360 membership.
KCL predicts the next Target Deal of the Day will start on March 22, 2026.
Target hasn't announced the dates for their next Deal of the Day promotion, but based on what they've done in recent years, we expect it to start on Sunday, March 22, 2026.
How do we make our prediction?
Target usually runs their Target Deal of the Day promotion around the same time as Target Circle Week. They usually hold additional rounds of Deal of the Day in the weeks leading up to Christmas Eve.
Here are the past dates of the Target Deal of the Day event, so you can get a feel for the pattern:

Oct. 5 - 11, 2025

How to Shop Target's Deal of the Day
1. Expect a new daily deal to drop every day at 2 a.m. CT.
Just like Target has done in the past, we expect a new Target Deal of the Day to go live every morning at 2 a.m. CT. Some daily deals will sell out fast, depending on the item and savings potential.
2. You can save 30% - 70% with Target's Deal of the Day, although the average savings is 40% - 50%.
In the past, the average savings for Target’s Deal of the Day has been 40% - 50% off. However, we’ve seen discounts range anywhere from 30% - 70% off, depending on the item.
Don’t get totally thrown off if you’re not seeing deals for 70% off every day, though. Sometimes, a smaller discount is just as good if the item rarely goes on sale or if it’s a bestselling item (like Apple products).
KCL TIP: One of Target's daily deals is usually a BOGO 50% off Starbucks beverage offer that's available in stores only (and for just one day).
3. Get a price match if Target has a better deal within 14 days of your purchase.
The Target price matching policy is pretty useful during big sales. For example, if you buy something at Target and the price drops within two weeks, you can visit Target Guest Services and show them the lower price. They’ll pay you back the difference.
Price matching is super helpful when it comes to Target’s Deal of the Day. Why? It takes the edge off some of the urgency. If there’s a hot item on sale for one day only, you can buy it without feeling totally locked in at that price. If you find a lower price a few days later, you can get a Target price match.
Keep in mind, however, that Target no longer price matches Amazon or Walmart.
4. Use your Target Circle Card for an extra 5% off the Deal of the Day.
Target’s Circle Card gives you 5% off almost everything at Target — even Black Friday sale prices, clearance items, and, most importantly, deals of the day.
You can sign up online for a Target Circle Card credit or debit card, but I definitely recommend the debit card version (you can read more about the versions in our guide to the Target Circle Card). It connects to your checking account and works like a regular debit card but only works at Target. Plus, you’ll get free 2-day shipping on all your orders.
