In the latest announcement, Walmart Black Friday 2025 has been officially laid out — shoppers across the U.S. can now plan for a three-stage savings event featuring blockbuster deals, early access for members, and deep discounts on top brands.
What’s Happening
Walmart’s highly anticipated holiday shopping initiative kicks off on November 14, running through multiple phases and culminating in Cyber Monday. Key details include:
- Event 1: November 14–16 — available online and in stores.
- Event 2: November 25–30 — online only Nov 25–27, online & in stores Nov 28–30.
- Cyber Monday Day: December 1 — online only.
- Early access for members of Walmart+ begins each night before major events at 7 p.m. ET.
Why This Year’s Black Friday Matters
Walmart describes this year’s rollout as its “largest deals events of the year” — promoting thousands of gifts under $20 and up to 60% off major brands. The retailer is leaning heavily into convenience: curbside pickup, 30-minute express delivery and two-day shipping are all highlighted.
Sneak Peek at Featured Deals
Here are some early highlights for Event 1 (Nov 14–16):
- 98″ TCL QLED 4K Google TV — marked down from ~$1,798 to $998.
- Dyson V12 Detect Slim Cordless Vacuum — ~$729 now ~$399.99.
- Levi’s Signature Denim — ~$24.98 now ~$15.00.
- Other deals: Barbie Malibu Travel Playset (~$12), Curling & Hair styling tools, home décor under $20.
What Shoppers Should Know
- Membership pays off: Walmart+ members receive early access (five hours ahead) to each event starting at 7 p.m. ET the night before.
- Online and in-store mix: Event 1 opens both online and in stores, while Event 2 splits online only then in-store. This allows greater flexibility for shoppers.
- Stock moves fast: With high-profile tech and home-goods discounts, items are likely to sell out quickly. Starting early is advisable.
- Plan shipping and pickup: Choosing express delivery, in-store pickup or curbside can save time and avoid holiday-shipping congestion.
