Verizon Wireless Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

September 10, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Verizon Wireless is expected to launch its Black Friday 2025 sale with a familiar structure that mirrors previous years. The promotion is likely to begin in mid-November, stretch through Thanksgiving weekend, and carry over into Cyber Week. You can anticipate major discounts on flagship smartphones, bundles with accessories, and incentives tied to trade-ins or new lines. The details below outline when the sale is expected to start, what categories are usually included, how deep the discounts typically run, and examples from 2024 that provide a clear picture of what may return this season.

Black Friday 2025 Sale Timeline

Expected Kickoff Date: Thursday, November 13, 2025 (that’s 2 weeks before Thanksgiving), exclusively at verizonwireless.com.
Black Friday: Additional offers may be added on Black Friday Friday itself, November 28, 2025.
Extended Offers: Historically, many deals remain available through early December (the week of Cyber Monday).

This long window reflects Verizon’s recent trend of launching promotions early and carrying them forward into the holiday period, allowing customers to secure deals without waiting for a single day.

What Verizon Usually Features

Flagship Smartphones
The centerpiece of Verizon’s Black Friday sale is its lineup of premium devices, often available for free or at steep discounts when paired with a new unlimited plan. Apple iPhones, Samsung Galaxy models, and Google Pixel devices are the most common offers.
Accessory Bundles
Free tablets, smartwatches, or earbuds are frequently included when activating additional lines. These bundles are popular because they stack extra value onto a phone purchase, though they may come with monthly line charges.
Trade-In Credit
Verizon regularly offers up to $1,000 in credit for eligible trade-ins. Even older or damaged devices have qualified in the past, making this one of the more flexible discount options.
Gift Cards and Bill Credits
E-gift cards worth $300 or more have been offered as a bonus, stacking with phone deals or trade-ins.
Home Internet Promotions
Deals have expanded beyond phones, with home internet packages sometimes bundled with perks such as free gaming consoles or year-long streaming subscriptions.
