Updated on Wednesday, September 2, 2026: Sam’s Club has not announced its Black Friday 2026 sale yet, but last year’s schedule gives us a pretty good idea of what to expect.
Black Friday falls on Friday, November 27, 2026. We expect Sam’s Club to start its first Black Friday doorbusters in early November, followed by a longer countdown sale and the main event over Thanksgiving weekend.
TVs, electronics, gaming, toys, kitchen appliances, furniture, jewelry and holiday gifts should once again be among the biggest categories.
Expected Sam’s Club Black Friday 2026 Dates
Here’s our current prediction:
| Event | Expected 2026 Dates |
|---|---|
| Black Friday Doorbusters | November 6-8 |
| Countdown to Black Friday | November 15-25 |
| Main Black Friday Sale | November 26-29 |
| Black Friday | November 27 |
| Cyber Monday | November 30 |
These dates have not been confirmed by Sam’s Club.
In 2025, Sam’s Club ran its first Black Friday Doorbusters November 7-9, followed by its Countdown to Black Friday sale November 16-26. The main event ran November 27-30, followed by a one-day Cyber Monday sale on December 1, exclusively at samsclub.com.
If Sam’s Club follows the same calendar pattern in 2026, the dates above are our best estimate.
What Deals Can We Expect?
Sam’s Club usually mixes straight price cuts with bundles, extended warranties and Sam’s Cash offers.
Here are some actual Black Friday 2025 prices along with what we think comparable products could cost in 2026.
| Item | 2025 Black Friday Price | Predicted 2026 Price |
|---|---|---|
| VIZIO 40-inch 4K TV | $128 | $118-$138 |
| VIZIO 50-inch 4K TV | $198 | $178-$198 |
| LG 86-inch QNED 4K TV | $896.99 | $796-$897 |
| GE Profile Opal Nugget Ice Maker | $299.98 | $279-$299 |
| Ninja Crispi 5-in-1 Air Fryer | $127.98 | $119-$129 |
| Member’s Mark Paradise Cove Dollhouse | $119.98 | $99-$119 |
| 14-foot trampoline | $139.98 | $129-$149 |
| HOVERAir X1 Drone Bundle | $249 | $229-$249 |
These 2026 prices are our predictions and have not been announced by Sam’s Club.
The actual 2025 sale included the VIZIO 50-inch TV for $198, 40-inch model for $128, LG 86-inch QNED TV for $896.99, GE Profile Opal ice maker for $299.98 and Ninja Crispi for $127.98.
Sam’s Club Black Friday 2026 TV and Electronics Deals
TVs should once again be one of the best categories to watch.
Last year, Sam’s Club offered a 50-inch VIZIO Quantum 4K TV for $198 and a 40-inch model for $128. The sale also included an 86-inch LG QNED TV for $896.99. Some TV deals included a three-year manufacturer warranty as an extra member benefit.
For 2026, we think realistic target prices could be:
- 40-inch to 43-inch TVs: $120-$150
- 50-inch TVs: $175-$200
- 65-inch TVs: $300-$450
- 75-inch TVs: $450-$600
- 85-inch to 86-inch TVs: $700-$900
Samsung, LG, VIZIO, TCL and Hisense should all be worth watching.
Sam’s Club bundles can also be important. A TV that costs the same as one at Walmart or Best Buy may include a longer warranty or another bonus.
Apple, Gaming and Tech Deals
Expect another large selection of laptops, tablets, headphones and gaming products.
During the first 2025 Doorbusters event, select Apple iPad Air M3 models started at $559 and came with $120 in Sam’s Cash. The main Black Friday preview also included $100 off the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc console.
Other featured tech included Bose, Sonos, Shokz, JBL and VIZIO products.
For 2026, we expect deals on:
- Apple iPads and MacBooks
- PlayStation 5 consoles and accessories
- Nintendo products
- Bose and Sony headphones
- Laptops and monitors
- Soundbars and speakers
- Drones and smart home devices
Pay attention to Sam’s Cash when comparing prices. A laptop or tablet may appear to cost more than it does at another retailer but come with $50, $100 or more in Sam’s Cash.
Home, Kitchen and Toy Deals
Kitchen appliances and toys should also have plenty of discounts.
In 2025, the GE Profile Opal Nugget Ice Maker dropped from $399.98 to $299.98, while the Ninja Crispi 5-in-1 cooking system fell to $127.98.
The toy lineup included:
- Member’s Mark Paradise Cove Dollhouse for $119.98
- 14-foot trampoline for $139.98
- Zuru X-Shot blaster set for $54.98
- Jetson electric dirt bike for $299
- LEGO Game Boy for $49.98
- Hot Wheels Mega Hauler bundle for $39.98
For 2026, expect similar deals on Member’s Mark products, Ninja appliances, toys, ride-ons, furniture, mattresses and holiday gifts.
Plus Members Should Get Early Access Again
This is one of the biggest Sam’s Club Black Friday perks.
Sam’s Club currently gives Plus members up to 12 hours of early online access to select Doorbusters, Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.
In 2025, Plus members received early access to the November Doorbusters and the main Black Friday event. Cyber Monday early access began at noon ET on November 30, 12 hours before the December 1 sale.
We expect that perk to return in 2026.
Early access could matter for limited-stock TVs, gaming systems, toys and other doorbusters.
How Much Does a Sam’s Club Membership Cost?
The regular 2026 membership prices are:
- Club Membership: $60 per year
- Plus Membership: $120 per year
Plus includes all Club benefits along with 2% Sam’s Cash on qualifying in-club purchases, free shipping on eligible $50+ orders, free delivery on qualifying $50+ orders, earlier in-club shopping and early access to select online sales.
There’s Already a Sam’s Club Membership Deal for 2026
If you’re not currently a member, you may not have to wait until Black Friday.
As of September 2026, Sam’s Club is offering qualifying new members:
| Membership | Regular Price | Current New-Member Price |
|---|---|---|
| Club | $60 | $25 |
| Plus | $120 | $55 |
The current promotion is scheduled to end September 30, 2026, and eligibility requirements apply.
That’s worth considering if you already know you’ll shop the Black Friday sale.
Sam’s Club did offer a $25 Club membership around Black Friday 2025, so another holiday membership promotion is certainly possible.
However, there’s no guarantee that the Black Friday 2026 offer will beat the $25 Club or $55 Plus prices available now.
Is Sam’s Club Plus Worth It for Black Friday?
For someone planning one or two small purchases, probably not just for Black Friday.
For a larger shopping list, Plus becomes more interesting.
Along with early access, Plus members currently receive:
- 2% Sam’s Cash on qualifying in-club purchases
- Free shipping on eligible $50+ orders
- Free delivery from club on qualifying $50+ orders
- Early shopping at clubs
- Up to 12 hours of early online access to select major sales
Sam’s Club currently opens for Plus members at 8:00 a.m., while regular Club members can enter beginning at 9:00 a.m. under normal store hours.
If a popular Black Friday item is available in limited quantities, that extra hour could help.
Will Sam’s Club Be Open on Thanksgiving 2026?
No. Sam’s Club lists Thanksgiving as one of its annual club closure days.
That means Sam’s Club stores should be closed on Thursday, November 26, 2026.
The Black Friday sale can still begin online on Thanksgiving, just as it did in 2025.
If normal hours are used on Black Friday, Plus members would be able to enter beginning at 8:00 a.m., followed by all members at 9:00 a.m. Local hours can vary.
Sam’s Club Cyber Monday 2026
Cyber Monday falls on November 30, 2026.
In 2025, Sam’s Club held a separate one-day Cyber Monday event on December 1. Plus members received 12 hours of early online access beginning at noon ET the day before.
For 2026, we expect Cyber Monday to be a one-day event on November 30, with Plus early access potentially starting on November 29.
The sale should be online-focused, with deals on electronics, home products, clothing, toys, jewelry and furniture.
When Will the Sam’s Club Black Friday 2026 Ad Come Out?
Sam’s Club revealed its 2025 holiday sale schedule in October, with the November Instant Savings Book showing the Black Friday dates and a preview of the main event.
For 2026, we expect the first Black Friday preview sometime in the second half of October.
The larger list of main-event deals will probably arrive in early November.
We’ll update this page once Sam’s Club confirms the dates and releases its 2026 Black Friday ad.
Our Sam’s Club Black Friday 2026 Prediction
We expect Sam’s Club to start Black Friday Doorbusters around November 6-8, followed by its Countdown to Black Friday sale November 15-25 and the main sale November 26-29.
TVs, Apple products, gaming, kitchen appliances, toys, furniture and holiday gifts should have some of the best deals.
Based on last year, a 50-inch 4K TV around $180 to $200, an 85-inch-class TV below $900, a premium nugget ice maker around $300 and larger toy discounts of $50 to $100 are all realistic possibilities.
Plus members should also get up to 12 hours of early online access again.
For now, all 2026 dates and prices above are predictions. We’ll update them once Sam’s Club officially announces its Black Friday sale.
