how long does walmart black friday last

Walmart’s Black Friday isn’t just one day anymore – it usually runs as a series of “Black Friday Deals” events spread over multiple days through November and then rolls right into Cyber Monday online deals.

Quick Scoop

  • Walmart now does multi‑day Black Friday events, not old‑school one‑night doorbusters.
  • In recent years, the big in‑store Black Friday weekend has typically run from Black Friday morning through Sunday, with online deals live the same days.
  • The overall Black Friday “season” at Walmart often starts in mid‑November and continues through Cyber Monday , making it roughly a 2–3 week stretch of heavy discounts.

How long it usually lasts

  • Walmart has shifted to waves of Black Friday events that start around mid‑November , with at least two major Black Friday “Deals” waves before and during Thanksgiving week.
  • The main, classic Black Friday window (when most people think “Black Friday”) typically lasts 3 days : Friday–Sunday, with Cyber Monday as a separate, online‑only follow‑up.

Online vs in‑store timing

  • Online Black Friday deals frequently start at midnight Eastern on the event’s start date, and Walmart+ members often get several hours of early access.
  • In‑store Black Friday deals usually run during normal store hours; many stores open around 6 a.m. on Black Friday and keep Black Friday prices active through the weekend while supplies last.

What this means for you

  • If you just want “Black Friday prices,” expect them to last all Black Friday weekend and, for many items, to continue or return for Cyber Monday online.
  • If you are chasing the best or most limited deals, plan for the earlier November events and Walmart+ early‑access windows, because some of the hottest items may sell out before the actual Black Friday date.
