Best Buy has been treating the entire month of November like one drawn-out holiday deal dump, but now that its official Black Friday sale is live, there are hundreds of markdowns on name-brand tech across all departments. Its main attractions include record-low prices on big-ticket items like QLED 4K TVs and Windows laptops, plus revolving rounds of doorbusters that feature bonus rewards for paid My Best Buy members.
Best Buy’s Black Friday deals are available online and in stores, so if you want to visit a nearby location to check out a gadget before you buy it, the option is there. (Camping out on Thanksgiving night won’t be necessary.) Here’s everything you need to know about Best Buy’s Black Friday sale before you shop, including its opening hours, doorbuster lineup, holiday return policy, price-match guarantee, and the best deals to shop now.
When is Best Buy’s Black Friday sale?
Best Buy’s Black Friday sale began on Thursday, Nov. 20 and continues through Saturday, Nov. 29. All of its feature deals are available in stores, online, and on the Best Buy mobile app, according to a company press release.

Is Best Buy open on Thanksgiving?
Best Buy stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day 2025, as they have been since 2020.
What time does Best Buy open on Black Friday?
Best Buy stores will open at 6 a.m. local time on Black Friday. Camping out is only mandatory if a deal you’re eyeing is sold out online but still available in stores, IMO.
Does Best Buy do doorbusters?
Yes, Best Buy is supplementing its Black Friday deals with some limited-time doorbusters, which it’s billing as “some of the best deals on the hottest tech of the season.” These offers drop in batches every Friday through Christmas, and paid My Best Buy members earn $5 in bonus rewards for every $50 they spend on them (up to $25). That includes the Plus and Total membership tiers.
I’ve listed all of Best Buy’s current doorbusters below. All of them are decent deals except for the EA video games and the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, which are mostly cheaper to buy from Walmart or Amazon. Best Buy will release more doorbusters on Friday, Nov. 28, aka Black Friday proper.

Does Best Buy price match?
Best Buy doesn’t price-match competitors’ deals during Black Friday, but it will price-match itself. If something you’ve bought there from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31 gets cheaper during that period, you can request to have your purchase adjusted to the better price through Jan. 15, 2026. The only items that aren’t covered by this price-match guarantee are holiday decorations and products that come with a third-party contract (like smartphones).
Mashable Deals
What is Best Buy’s return policy?
Under its extended holiday return policy, Best Buy will accept returns for most items purchased from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31 through Jan. 15, 2026. That deadline stretches to Jan. 31 for paid My Best Buy members.
Similar exclusions apply here. Holiday decorations have a 15-day return window, for one. “Activatable” devices (meaning those that come with data plans) can only be returned within 14 days, and they have a $45 restocking fee if opened. Scooters, drones, digital cameras, action cameras, lenses, projectors, fitness recovery devices, cold tubs, saunas, and special-order products have a 15% restocking fee if they’re unboxed.
When is Best Buy’s Cyber Monday sale?
Best Buy will kick off its Cyber Monday savings event on Sunday, Nov. 30, and it will run for 48 hours through Dec. 1 (aka actual Cyber Monday). The company’s press release notes that “there will be limited-time deals available throughout the event,” so expect a slightly different assortmen than its Black Friday sale.
