Walmart Black Friday 2026: Expected Sale Dates & Deal Predictions

Updated on Wednesday, September 2, 2026: Walmart has not announced its Black Friday 2026 sale yet, but based on last year’s schedule, we already have a good idea of what to expect.

Black Friday falls on Friday, November 27, 2026. Walmart will likely start its deals well before then, with an early event in mid-November followed by a larger sale during Thanksgiving week.

Expected Walmart Black Friday 2026 Dates

Our current predictions are:

Event Expected 2026 Dates
Black Friday Event #1 November 13-15
Walmart+ Early Access November 12
Main Black Friday Event November 24-29
Walmart+ Early Access November 23
In-store Black Friday sale November 27-29
Cyber Monday November 30

These dates are not official.

In 2025, Walmart ran its first Black Friday event from November 14-16, followed by a larger event from November 25-30. Walmart+ members received five hours of early online access at walmart.com before each sale.

If Walmart follows the same pattern this year, the dates above are our best estimate.

What Deals Can We Expect?

Walmart usually puts the biggest focus on TVs, electronics, gaming, toys, kitchen appliances, vacuums, clothing and holiday gifts.

Here are some actual Walmart Black Friday prices from 2025, along with what we think similar deals could cost in 2026.

Item 2025 Price Predicted 2026 Price
85-inch TCL 4K Roku TV $498 $448-$498
98-inch TCL QLED TV $998 $898-$998
PlayStation controller $54 $49-$54
Meta Quest 3S 128GB $249 $199-$249
Dyson Supersonic Nural $259.99 $249-$279
Blackstone 28-inch griddle $157 $147-$157
Ninja Luxe Cafe $599.99 $499-$599
LEGO Speed Champions 2-pack $25 $20-$25
Barbie Malibu Travel Playset $12 $10-$12
Wrangler men’s jeans $13 $12-$15

These 2026 prices are our predictions, not announced Walmart prices.

Walmart Black Friday 2026 TV Deals

TVs should once again be one of Walmart’s biggest Black Friday categories.

Last year, Walmart offered an 85-inch TCL 4K Roku TV for $498 and a 98-inch TCL QLED TV for $998.

For 2026, we’re expecting prices somewhere around:

  • 50-inch to 55-inch 4K TVs: $138-$198
  • 65-inch 4K TVs: $198-$248
  • 75-inch 4K TVs: $298-$398
  • 85-inch 4K TVs: $448-$498
  • 98-inch TVs: $898-$998

TCL, Hisense, onn., Samsung and LG are all likely to be featured.

Electronics, Gaming and Apple Deals

Walmart should also have plenty of deals on gaming systems, controllers, laptops, tablets, headphones and Apple products.

In 2025, select PlayStation controllers dropped to $54 and the Meta Quest 3S 128GB fell to $249.

For 2026, we could see PlayStation controllers around $49-$54 and some VR headsets around $199-$249.

We also expect discounts on:

  • PlayStation and Xbox consoles
  • Nintendo products
  • AirPods
  • Apple Watch models
  • iPads
  • Gaming laptops and monitors
  • Beats and other headphones
  • Chromebooks and Windows laptops

Older Apple products will probably see the biggest price cuts.

Home, Kitchen and Dyson Deals

Walmart usually runs strong Black Friday deals on kitchen appliances, vacuums and home products.

Last year’s sale included:

  • Blackstone 28-inch griddle for $157
  • Ninja Luxe Cafe for $599.99
  • Keurig Iced Essentials for $44.97
  • Dyson V12 Detect Slim for $399.99
  • Dyson Supersonic Nural for $259.99
  • Carote 15-piece cookware set for $53.99

For 2026, we expect similar pricing, especially on older models.

Look for deals from Ninja, Dyson, Shark, Blackstone, Keurig, Beautiful by Drew Barrymore and Mainstays.

Toy, Clothing and Gift Deals

Walmart should once again have a large number of gifts under $20.

Last year, some of the featured prices included:

  • Barbie Malibu Travel Playset for $12
  • LEGO Speed Champions 2-pack for $25
  • 20-inch kids bike for $60
  • Wrangler men’s jeans for $13
  • Levi’s Signature Denim for $15
  • Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask for $16.49

We expect similar deals on LEGO, Barbie, Hot Wheels, Pokémon, Nerf, clothing, beauty products and holiday gifts in 2026.

Walmart+ Black Friday 2026 Early Access

Walmart+ will likely be useful again for shoppers trying to get the most popular deals.

In 2025, paid Walmart+ members received five hours of early online access before the Black Friday events and Cyber Monday.

We expect Walmart to bring back early access in 2026.

You do not need Walmart+ to shop the sale, but members may get a head start on limited-stock TVs, gaming products, toys and other popular items.

Will Walmart+ Be $49 for Black Friday 2026?

The regular Walmart+ price is currently $98 per year or $12.95 per month.

Walmart has offered the annual membership for $49 around Black Friday in past years, including during the 2025 holiday season.

Our prediction for 2026:

Regular annual price: $98

Possible Black Friday price: $49

Possible discount: 50%

Nothing has been announced yet, but we think there’s a good chance the $49 Walmart+ deal returns.

Eligible students and qualifying government-assistance recipients can already get Walmart+ for $49 per year or $6.47 per month through Walmart+ Student and Walmart+ Assist.

Will Walmart Be Open on Thanksgiving?

We expect Walmart stores to be closed on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26, 2026.

Walmart stores were closed on Thanksgiving in 2025 and have followed the same policy for several years.

Online shopping should still be available, and the main Black Friday sale may already be underway online before stores open on Friday.

When Will the Walmart Black Friday 2026 Ad Come Out?

We expect Walmart to announce its Black Friday plans in late October, followed by the first featured deals or ad in early to mid-November.

Walmart now releases its Black Friday deals in stages rather than publishing one large ad weeks in advance.

If last year’s timing repeats, the first 2026 ad could arrive around November 12, with the main Black Friday ad following around November 23.

We’ll update this page as soon as Walmart releases the official 2026 dates and deals.
