When is Black Friday 2020?
Black Friday itself is always the Friday after Thanksgiving, making it November 27 this year. Traditionally, retailers would kick off their big sales early on the Friday morning with the discounts, and the hype, running all the way through the weekend.
However, the Black Friday sales are going to look a little different this year with huge amounts of in-store traffic not exactly desirable. A bunch of the biggest retailers in the U.S. are also giving their staff Thanksgiving day off for the first time in recent years suggesting a more low-key take on Black Friday this year, at least in stores.
Due to the current health crisis, we expect to see way more attention shown to online-only deals and since we’re breaking out of the usual ‘doorbuster’ mindset, we’re going to see many retailers kicking off their Black Friday sales much earlier, too.
When do Black Friday deals begin?
Right now! A bunch of retailers have announced their Black Friday sales and kicked off a ton of early Black Friday deals with more to follow later in November. Get to shopping now!
