how long are amazon black friday deals

Amazon’s Black Friday deals typically run for about a week or more, starting around the Thursday before Black Friday and continuing through Cyber Monday (and sometimes into a longer “Black Friday Week” window).

How Long The Deals Last

  • Recent years show Amazon running Black Friday promotions for roughly 8–12 days, not just the single Friday.
  • Official messaging for 2025 describes “Black Friday Week and Cyber Monday deals” starting November 20 at 12:01 a.m. PST and running through Black Friday into Cyber Monday.

Typical Timeline Pattern

  • Deals usually kick off several days before Thanksgiving, often that Thursday before, and continue nonstop through Black Friday.
  • After Black Friday, the event smoothly transitions into Cyber Monday offers, which extend the same overall sale window by a few more days.

What This Means For Shoppers

  • Many headline Black Friday prices are available well before the actual day, but some Lightning Deals and daily drops are very short-lived (hours to a single day).
  • Treat the whole period from the early start date through Cyber Monday as the main deal window, and do not wait until the last day if a price looks strong, because limited-time offers can sell out quickly.
