About Black Friday 2026
Black Friday is the day immediately following Thanksgiving and is widely regarded as the start of the holiday shopping season in the United States and globally. Renowned for massive retail discounts, doorbuster promotions, and online flash sales, it generates tens of billions of dollars in consumer spending.
The term 'Black Friday' originally described congested pedestrian and vehicle traffic in 1950s Philadelphia the day after Thanksgiving, but retailers later adopted it to represent the financial turning point where accounting balance sheets move out of the red (operating loss) and into the black (profitability).
In 2026, Black Friday takes place on Friday, November 27. Shoppers track this countdown closely to organize gift budgets, research deal ads, and secure high-demand tech and fashion items.
