Even though Black Friday doesn’t officially begin until November 29, many brands, and stores – like Target, have already launched unmissable deals, with discounts on Apple AirPods, coveted air fryers and beauty heroes. A retailer yet to launch its Black Friday deals, but offering members early access is Walmart.
Walmart’s Black Friday sale officially goes live online on November 25 at 5pm ET, followed by an early morning in-store launch at 6am local time on November 29. The retail giant has promised up to 30 per cent off Apple products and decor (handy timing for that new Christmas tree), and up to 40 per cent off home.
If you just can’t wait until 25 November to shop, you can score a real bargain with one of Walmart’s flash deals – including current discounts on a portable basketball hoop, a Samsung QLED TV and a children’s ride-on truck.

What time does Walmart open on Black Friday?
After closure on Thanksgiving, (most) Walmart stores will open at 6am local time on Black Friday, with many offering extended holiday hours to give you extra time to shop. Use Walmart’s online find-a-store feature to learn of your local store’s opening hours over the Black Friday weekend. If you’d prefer to shop outside of store opening hours, you can shop online or on the Walmart app.
How to get the best out of Walmart’s Black Friday deals
If previous years are anything to go on, Walmart stores get busy early. If you’ve got something particular on your list, or want to avoid the queues, you should consider signing up to Walmart+ (which you can currently get a free trial or discount off annual membership for) – as paid members get exclusive access from November 25 at 12pm ET to shop the most-wanted deals before the event opens to all customers at 5pm ET.
The sale will run until December 1, with additional discounts featuring on December 2 for Cyber Monday, giving you plenty of time to secure great deals. We predict that Apple products, children’s toys and beauty favorites will sell quickly, so don’t hang around.
