With multiple sale phases, store-wide discounts, Kohl’s Cash, and plenty of category-spanning deals, there’s a lot coming at Kohl’s Black Friday 2025 sale. If you’re planning to shop it this year, here’s a breakdown of what to expect — including likely sale dates, types of deals, discount levels, and examples of what was offered last year.
Black Friday 2025 Ad Drop Date
Kohl’s typically releases its Black Friday ad early compared to some other major retailers. Based on their previous patterns, the 2025 ad is expected to arrive around Wednesday, November 5, 2025. It’s usually around 40+ pages long, and gives a good preview of everything that will be on sale. It also breaks out which deals belong to which phase of the event, so shoppers can plan accordingly.
The Expected Sale Schedule
Kohl’s tends to spread out their Black Friday promotions into three main rounds over the course of November. Each round has its own pricing focus and timing, and understanding this can help you decide when to shop.
Round 1: Early Access Black Friday (November 7–9, 2025)
This is usually a short 3-day event that kicks off the month’s savings. Based on the past few years, the early access sale should run Friday, November 7 through Sunday, November 9, 2025, online at kohls.com and in stores.
The early access round offers a sneak peek at some of the major deals that will appear later in the main event. Not everything is on sale yet, but what is available tends to be a preview of upcoming doorbusters.
If you’re looking to earn Kohl’s Cash, November 7, 2025 is likely your best shot during this round. Kohl’s usually gives $15 in Kohl’s Cash for every $50 spent, but only on select days. In 2024 you only earned it on the first day of the early access round.
Round 2: Main Black Friday Deals (November 23–28, 2025)
This round is expected to start Sunday, November 23, 2025, and continue up to Black Friday. This period includes a wider range of deals across categories, from home goods and electronics to toys and fashion.
These prices are designed to be competitive with what you’ll find at Target, Amazon, and Walmart. Some items will be restocked during this period if they sold out during Round 1, while new ones will be introduced.
Again, Kohl’s Cash will likely be active during this time, especially as the Thanksgiving weekend approaches. In recent years, the redemption window for Kohl’s Cash earned during this period started the day after Black Friday and ran for about 12 days.
Round 3: Doorbuster Deals (November 27–28, 2025)
These are Kohl’s most aggressive Black Friday deals and usually draw the most attention. These “doorbusters” are expected to go live online at kohls.com on Thanksgiving Day (November 27, 2025) and in physical stores the next morning on Black Friday, November 28, 2025.
The doorbusters are typically marked in yellow in the Black Friday ad, making them easy to spot. These offers tend to have limited quantities and can sell out quickly both in-store and online. For that reason, shopping as early as possible on Thanksgiving Day online is usually the best strategy.
It’s also worth noting that Kohl’s has kept stores closed on Thanksgiving Day since 2020, and that policy will likely continue in 2025. Stores are expected to reopen for in-person shopping at 5:00am local time on Black Friday.
Discount Levels and Kohl’s Cash
During the Black Friday event, Kohl’s tends to offer discounts in the range of 30% to 60% off, depending on the item. Electronics, kitchen appliances, home goods, and toys often see the steepest cuts.
In addition to the sale prices, Kohl’s usually brings back their $15 Kohl’s Cash for every $50 spent offer, which is stackable on most Black Friday deals. The store credit isn’t valid immediately but can typically be redeemed starting the Saturday after Black Friday. In 2024, Kohl’s Cash earned during the event was redeemable from November 29 to December 10, and a similar redemption window is expected this year.
Unlike many retailers, Kohl’s allows you to stack various promos: you can use a percent-off promo code, earn Kohl’s Cash, and still get sale prices — something not all competitors allow.
Examples of Sale Items from Last Year (2024)
Looking at what was offered in 2024 can help predict what might return in 2025. Here are some notable examples from last year’s ad:
-
Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet was on sale for $44.99 (regularly $89.99)
-
Shark Rocket Corded Stick Vacuum went for $79.99 (down from $199.99)
-
Fitbit Inspire 3 was marked down to $59.99 (regularly $99.99)
-
KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer was offered for $189.99 after rebate and Kohl’s Cash
-
Cuddl Duds fleece throws were just $8.49 each
-
Men’s Sonoma flannel shirts were priced at $9.99
-
Lego City and Lego Friends sets started at $19.99
-
JBL Flip 6 Bluetooth Speaker was available for $89.99, plus earned Kohl’s Cash
-
Samsonite luggage sets were around 60% off
-
Calphalon 10-piece cookware sets dropped to under $120, plus Kohl’s Cash
These examples give a sense of the range Kohl’s covers during the event — from electronics and toys to apparel and kitchen gear.
Cyber Monday Preview
Once the Black Friday dust settles, Kohl’s tends to return with a fresh wave of deals for Cyber Monday, which falls on December 1, 2025. The Cyber Monday deals are only live for 24 hours and are mostly online-only.
Cyber Monday includes many of the items from Black Friday, but there are usually a few new additions, especially in tech and home categories. Kohl’s Cash typically continues into this sale as well.
Special In-Store Promotions
In 2024, Kohl’s added an extra incentive for those willing to shop in-person on Black Friday morning. The first 200 customers at each store had a chance to win prizes through a sweepstakes. Prizes included extra Kohl’s Cash and items from brands like Lego, Samsonite, Shark, JBL, and Calphalon. There was also a grand prize sweepstakes for a family vacation to Florida.
While Kohl’s hasn’t confirmed whether this will return in 2025, if they follow the same format, early store arrivals could get more than just discounts.
