Today, Best Buy is clueing shoppers in on its ambitious holiday plans for Black Friday and beyond. Spread across the whole month of November, shoppers will be able to cash in on weeks’ worth of early deals and enticing doorbusters. Or you could beat the rush and start shopping for the price cuts we’ve already spotted.
When does Best Buy’s early Black Friday sale start?
The first batch of early Black Friday deals from Best Buy will be going live on Friday, Nov. 8. There will be several different promotions leading up to Thanksgiving week and into Cyber Monday.
What can we expect from these early Black Friday deals?
Best Buy is going to be taking a staggered approach to its early deals for Black Friday 2024. The first wave of discounts will be going live as a series of weekly doorbuster deals and other early offers, starting the second week of November. We’re expecting these to be curated offers with deep discounts attached for anyone who wants to get their shopping done early.
These deals won’t be limited to members, but those who have either of the paid Best Buy memberships will be able to get early access to the doorbusters. We’re expecting that some of these limited-time deals will sell out quickly, so if you’re serious about scoring some of the best prices of the season, it’s worth signing up for one of the retailer’s loyalty accounts.
Then, a full week before Thanksgiving on Nov. 21, Best Buy will launch a more full-fledged savings event. This will carry though Black Friday proper and switch over to Cyber Monday come Sunday, Dec. 1.

Why these early?deals are already worth shopping
It may still be October, but that doesn’t mean you can’t already shop the best prices of the year on tons of different gadgets. Everything about is either matching the hottest offers of the season or marking an entirely new all-time low price. There’s a chance some of these deals will drop a tad lower once Black Friday is officially here, but if you don’t want to risk something selling out just to lock in an extra 5% discount, it’s worth beating the rush and shopping early.
Will Best Buy have the best Black Friday deals?
I’ve been covering Black Friday for nearly a decade now. Competition has only heated up over the past few years, and that means Best Buy will be doing what it can to undercut prices from other retailers like Amazon, Target and Walmart. Last year, Best Buy was able to offer even better prices for its paid membership holders, thanks to bonus coupons that could be applied on top of cash discounts.
Best Buy will also be bringing back its popular Holiday Price Match Guarantee, so if other retailers offer a better deal, Best Buy will honor that discount. We still recommend shopping around to get the best deals this holiday season, but, at the very least, Best Buy will be keeping up with other retailers, if not besting the competition with all-time low prices.
