When is Black Friday 2016? What you need to know about all the key dates for Black Friday 2016 in the UK and US.
Black Friday 2016 is nearly here, but when exactly in November does the biggest shopping day of the year take place? And what about its younger, geekier sibling, Cyber Monday?
Black Friday always takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving in the US, so this year, Black Friday proper is on Friday November 25.
However, as you're probably aware, the Black Friday deals will be flooding in all month, with things really hotting up during 'Black Friday week', which kicks-off on Monday November 21.
While most retailers will be offering mega deals right up until Christmas, the craziest offers are likely to have dropped by the end of Cyber Monday, which is set for Monday November 28.
We're expecting all of the UK's biggest retailers to be offering significant discounts, but a few to keep an eye on in particular are Amazon, John Lewis, Argos, Currys, and supermarkets like Asda, Tesco, and Sainsbury's.
All sorts of gadgets will be price slashed, but a couple of things worthy paying extra attention to this year include 4K UHD TVs and game consoles.
That's all of the essential information you need to know ahead of Black Friday, but don't forget to check out our best Black Friday deals round-up for all the best bargains in the build up to the big day – and even more background information.
If you're looking to ditch the High Street in favour of online shopping this year (a wise move, if ever there was one), you'll also want to bookmark our guide to the best Amazon Black Friday UK deals while you're at it.
