What is Black Friday?
Originally Black Friday was an informal name used to describe the day after Thanksgiving in the United States. Stores would close early on Thanksgiving Day due to poor sales and would then open at midnight offering deep discounts on popular items such as gaming, appliances, clothing, toys, and electronics. Black Friday soon became one of the busiest shopping days of the year because it kicked off the holiday season and would then continue throughout the weekend. The tradition has now become one of the biggest shopping days of the year around the world and in Australia.
When is Black Friday 2025?
Black Friday falls on the last Friday in November and in 2025 Black Friday is on Friday, November 28th. Although this is officially the date of Black Friday, many Black Friday sales will start days earlier. Stay tuned for our 2025 Black Friday deals by signing up toeNews or download the Target app.

Although officially the Black Friday sale is on Friday, November 28th in 2025 many retailers begin rolling out their offers earlier in the week. Most retailers will offer their biggest discounts on Black Friday and will continue with deals all the way through the weekend and on to Cyber Monday.
What is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is the Monday after the Black Friday sale.
