Black Friday
What is Black Friday and when is it this year?
Black Friday is always the last Friday of the month of November and immediately follows Thanksgiving. It signals a weekend of deals from multiple retailers.
However, retailers never wait until the official date to launch their deals. For many retailers, deals start rolling out as early as October and continue on past the Black Friday day. You'll definitely want to pay attention to these deals as they are typically some of the hottest deals of the year.
How we are going to help you this year
The Android Central team is committed to check deals that come through and we will ensure that we are showcasing the best deals that are worth your money. We have multiple hubs and deals that go live daily prior to Black Friday, so don't wait for the weekend to start shopping.
While some deals are already happening, we can't guarantee that those prices will fall even more during the actual Black Friday weekend. However, if this ends up happening, we will always try to keep you informed.
Keep checking this page, and check out our home page for all the best deals that are available.
Don't forget, we'll also be sending daily newsletters so you never miss anything, so make sure you sign up.
When is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday Is always the Monday that follows right after Black Friday. This year it falls on Monday, December 1, 2025.
Cyber Monday primarily focuses on digital online retailers rather than physical stores. Many of these discounts expire as Monday ends, but sometimes, these deals will extend further into the week.
The deals are often similar in price listed during the Black Friday discount, but some products might even see further discounts. We'll keep you posted on all the Cyber Monday deals as they come in.
