Get a head start on holiday shopping—Walmart’s Early Black Friday event begins November 12! Here are the launch times, Walmart+ early-access details, and dates to keep on your calendar.
When does the sale start?
Walmart’s Early Black Friday event runs Thursday, November 12 through Sunday, November 15, 2026. Online offers launch at 12:01 a.m. Eastern on November 12; in-store offers begin at 6 a.m. local time that morning.
How Walmart+ early access works
Walmart+ members get the first 24 hours on select online-only hot deal drops, while supplies last. Any remaining items in those drops open to everyone at 12:01 a.m. Eastern on November 13. This early-access restriction applies to select deals, rather than every offer in the event.
