Sale calendar

When the sales are, taken from the federal calendar and from retailers' own announcements. No dates guessed from last year.

Last updated October 1, 2026

Every fall, shopping guides fill up with “expected” sale dates, often last year's date moved forward by a year. Some turn out to be right. Some don't, and you only find out when the retailer announces the real date.

This calendar lists two kinds of date. The first kind is fixed by law or by the federal holiday calendar: Thanksgiving, for example, is the fourth Thursday in November, so Black Friday and Cyber Monday can be worked out years ahead. The second kind is a retailer's own event, which goes in only after the retailer has announced it, with a link to that announcement. Until then the entry reads “not yet announced”.

The calendar tells you when, not what to buy. It doesn't list discount codes or copy sale listings from other sites. Where a retailer gives a start time, we give it in the time zone the retailer used.

What each entry tells you

• The date and the day of the week.
• Why the date is fixed: the law, the federal holiday calendar or the retailer's own announcement.
• The source, linked, with the date we read it.
