If you’re thinking of picking up any big-ticket items soon—whether for yourself or as a gift for someone on your list—it’s worth waiting to see what retailers have in store for the holiday sales season, which will kick off in earnest in mid-November. Walmart is the first major retailer to announce its Black Friday and Cyber Monday plan for 2026, and they actually involve three major shopping events between now and the December holidays.
What Is Walmart Doing for Black Friday and Cyber Monday in 2026?
As it did in 2025, Walmart will hold three sales between Nov. 12 and Dec. 2, as outlined in a recent press release. The sales will be both online and in-store, and will target a mix of Walmart+ members and general shoppers.
When Are Walmart’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday Sales in 2026?
The events will take place on three different dates:
Walmart’s Black Friday Deals Event 1: Nov. 12–15
- Available online and in stores starting at 6 a.m. local time
- Walmart+ members get six hours of early access beginning online at 12:01 a.m. ET on November 12

What Will Be on Sale During Walmart’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday Sales?
Walmart says that you can expect discounts on electronics, toys, fashion, beauty, home goods, gifts, and everyday essentials. Although the company doesn’t provide much in the way of specifics in its press release, last year’s sales included discounts on TCL TVs, Dyson vacuums, Dreo appliances, and toys from LEGO.
What Are Some Early Black Friday Deals Worth Checking Out Right Now?
Walmart already has plenty of good deals out early. You don’t need to wait for the official sale to start to find some products going for their lowest prices ever. Notable early deals include the Apple AirPods 4 at $89.00 (regularly $129.99, saving $40.99) at Walmart. With three sales events spanning nearly three weeks, shoppers have multiple opportunities to find discounts before the holiday season wraps up.
