When Is Black Friday 2020?

Black Friday begins on Friday November 29th this year. It's later in the month compared to 2018 when the shopping event kicked off on November 23rd. Some stores begin their Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving Day, so there will be opportunities to get a head start for those interested. There are also plenty of "pre-Black Friday sales" and "lead-up" events to make note of. Amazon, for example, usually start their pre-sale event on November 1st. Walmart actually beat them this year by starting their early Black Friday deals on October 24th.
