Updated on Sunday, September 6, 2026: Levi’s has not announced its Black Friday 2026 sale yet, but this is one retailer where the past few years give us a pretty good idea of what is coming.
Our prediction is 40% off most full-price items, with Red Tab members likely getting early access about a week before Black Friday. Jeans, jackets, shirts, sweaters and accessories should all be included, although limited collections, collaborations and some new arrivals will probably be excluded.
Levi’s Black Friday 2026 at a Glance
| Sale Detail | Our 2026 Prediction |
|---|---|
| Black Friday | Friday, November 27, 2026 |
| Red Tab early access | November 19 to November 22 |
| Main sale starts | Around Monday, November 23 |
| Sale ends | Likely December 1 |
| Expected discount | 40% off most full-price items |
| Online sale | Yes |
| Levi’s retail stores | Select stores should participate |
| Factory Outlet stores | Expect a separate promotion |
| Cyber Monday | Likely an extension of the same sale |
These dates are predictions and will be updated once Levi’s releases the official details.
When Will Levi’s Black Friday 2026 Sale Start?
Our best prediction for Red Tab early access is Thursday, November 19, 2026.
There is a good reason for choosing that date. Levi’s Red Tab early access ended on the Sunday before Thanksgiving in both 2023 and 2024, and in 2025 it ran from Thursday, November 20 through Sunday, November 23. All three events featured 40% off sitewide at levi.com for eligible Red Tab members.
Following the same pattern, November 19 through November 22 makes the most sense for 2026. We then expect the regular Black Friday sale to open to everyone around Monday, November 23.
Last year’s main sale ultimately ran at 40% off through Tuesday, December 2, one day after Cyber Monday.
How Much Will Levi’s Take Off for Black Friday?
40% off is the number we’re watching.
Levi’s used 40% off for its 2022 Black Friday sale, its Red Tab early access events in 2023 and 2024, and again for Black Friday 2025. That consistency makes a repeat much easier to predict than at many other retailers.
We would be surprised if the main offer dropped below 40%.
The bigger question is not really the percentage. It’s which styles are included.
Levi’s Black Friday 2026 Price Predictions
If 40% off returns, here are some realistic prices to watch for:
| Item | Current/Typical Price | Expected Price at 40% Off |
|---|---|---|
| 505 Regular Men’s Jeans | $74.95 | $44.97 |
| 511 Slim Men’s Jeans | $74.95 | $44.97 |
| 724 High Rise Straight Women’s Jeans | $74.95 | $44.97 |
| Premium jeans around $98 | $98.00 | $58.80 |
| Ribcage Wide Leg Women’s Jeans | $110.00 | $66.00 |
| $30 T-shirt | $30.00 | $18.00 |
| $59.50 sweatshirt or hoodie | $59.50 | $35.70 |
| $139.95 jacket | $139.95 | $83.97 |
For reference, Levi’s currently lists its 724 High Rise Straight jeans at $74.95 and several Ribcage Wide Leg styles at $110. The Levi’s Black Friday section also currently lists 505 and 511 men’s jeans at $74.95.
These are not confirmed 2026 Black Friday prices. They simply show what we would expect if current regular prices stay about the same and Levi’s repeats its usual 40% discount.
What Are the Best Things to Buy?
Jeans are the obvious place to start, but we would be a little more specific than that.
If you already know the exact fit, waist, length and wash you want, Black Friday can be one of the better times to buy. A $74.95 pair dropping to about $44.97 is a strong price, especially if your size is still available.
Jackets are also worth watching because the dollar savings add up quickly. Taking 40% off a $140 jacket saves about $56.
Basic tees and sweatshirts should also be included, but the actual dollar savings are smaller. Those are the items where it makes more sense to compare the regular sale section before buying.
Is 40% Off Actually a Good Levi’s Deal?
Yes, for the right item.
Here’s the way we’d look at it:
| Discount | Our Take |
|---|---|
| 20% to 30% off | Decent, but usually not worth rushing for before Black Friday |
| 40% off | Very good for full-price jeans, jackets and popular styles |
| 50% off or more | Excellent, especially on a style you already wanted |
| 60%+ off | Usually clearance territory, with fewer sizes and washes left |
The important distinction is between getting the lowest possible price and getting the lowest price on the exact jeans you want.
Waiting for clearance might save another $10 or $20, but there is no guarantee your waist, inseam and preferred wash will still be available.
That’s why we think Levi’s Black Friday sale makes the most sense for core styles rather than random clearance finds.
Don’t Assume Sale Items Will Get Another 40% Off
This is one thing we’d pay attention to in 2026.
Last year’s main Black Friday promotion excluded already marked sale merchandise and items ending in $.97. It also excluded several collaborations, Levi’s Vintage Clothing, Blue Tab and certain individual styles.
In other words, “40% off sitewide” does not necessarily mean an extra 40% off everything you see in Levi’s sale section.
Check the price in your cart before assuming discounts will stack.
Join Red Tab Before the Sale
If you’re actually planning to shop Levi’s on Black Friday, there’s little reason to wait to sign up for Red Tab.
Membership is free, and Levi’s has repeatedly used the program to give members early Black Friday access. Last year, members were able to start shopping on November 20 with 40% off and free standard shipping.
Getting in early matters more at Levi’s than it does at some retailers because jeans come in so many waist, length and wash combinations. A popular style can technically remain “in stock” while the exact combination you need disappears.
Should You Wait for Cyber Monday?
Probably not. If Levi’s launches 40% off and the item you want is included, we would buy it rather than waiting for Cyber Monday.
In 2025, the 40% Black Friday promotion simply continued through Cyber Monday and into December 2. There wasn’t a dramatically better Cyber Monday discount worth waiting for.
Waiting only makes sense if you’re flexible on the style, wash and size and are willing to gamble on a later clearance markdown.
When Will the Levi’s Black Friday 2026 Ad Come Out?
We expect the first real details around November 19, when Red Tab early access is likely to begin.
Levi’s doesn’t usually release the kind of huge Black Friday circular you’ll see from Walmart or Best Buy. The “ad” is more likely to be a promotion announcing the percentage off, sale dates and exclusions.
Once Levi’s announces its 2026 sale, we’ll update this page with the confirmed discount, dates, exclusions and any standout deals.

Questions & Comments
What do you plan on getting at Levi’s this Thanksgiving weekend? Will you also be shopping for jeans somewhere else, like at AG, 7 For All Mankind, Joe’s, Lucky Brand, or True Religion? Let us know in the comments below.
Levi’s 501’s are the what I usually go with… My jeans seem to last forever so just one or two pairs for me on Black Friday. Maybe I’ll get a few t-shirts if something I like ends up being on clearance.
