Amazon’s Black Friday sale typically runs for about 8–12 days, starting several days before Black Friday and continuing through Cyber Monday, but the exact length changes from year to year. For 2025, for example, Amazon’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals span 12 days from around November 20 through December 1, and similar multi‑day or week‑long formats are expected going forward.

Quick Scoop

Amazon has turned Black Friday into more of a Black Friday week (or longer) rather than a single day. In recent years, its main Black Friday period usually:

  • Starts about a week before Black Friday (often around Nov. 19–20).
  • Runs straight through the weekend and ends on or just after Cyber Monday.
  • Includes different types of offers: all‑sale‑long deals, 24‑hour daily deals, and short “Lightning Deals” that may last only a few hours or until sold out.

Because Amazon can change dates each year, checking the current year’s official Black Friday announcement page or press release will give the precise start and end dates for that season’s event.
