when does best buy black friday end

Best Buy’s main Black Friday sale usually runs through the Saturday after Black Friday, with 2025’s official Black Friday event ending at 11:59 p.m. CT on Saturday, November 29, 2025. Cyber-focused deals then roll into a separate Cyber Sunday/Cyber Monday event that continues through December 1, 2025.

Quick Scoop: Core Answer

  • For 2025, Best Buy’s “official” Black Friday sale window is November 20–29, ending at 11:59 p.m. CT on Saturday, November 29.
  • After that, the promotion effectively shifts to Cyber Sunday and Cyber Monday deals on November 30–December 1, which are marketed as a different sale event even though many discounts feel like a continuation.
  • In practice, the whole period from late November through Cyber Monday is one long discount stretch, but “Black Friday” labeling itself stops once that Saturday event window closes.

How Best Buy Schedules Black Friday

  • Best Buy has moved to an extended Black Friday model where the sale starts well before the actual Friday, with 2025’s Black Friday sale beginning November 20.
  • The company’s holiday FAQs and press materials state that Black Friday pricing is tied to that specific promo window and ends when the event expires at the end of the listed dates (in 2025, 11:59 p.m. CT on November 29). Prices can sometimes start earlier or end later on specific items, but the “Black Friday Event” banner does not.

Store Hours vs. Sale End

  • On Black Friday itself (the day after Thanksgiving), Best Buy stores typically open early (around 6 a.m.) and close around 10 p.m., but store hours are separate from when the online sale ends.
  • Even after stores close for the night, online Black Friday pricing remains active until the official event end time (for 2025, that’s 11:59 p.m. CT on Saturday, November 29), as long as inventory lasts.

What This Means If You’re Shopping

  • If you see a deal tagged specifically as “Black Friday” at Best Buy, assume it expires no later than the end of the official event window (in 2025, late night on November 29), and often sooner if it’s a doorbuster.
  • Cyber Sunday/Cyber Monday deals starting November 30 can bring new offers or recycled discounts, but they are technically part of a separate sale, so some Black Friday–only prices will not return once that event ends.
