Black Friday
Black Friday 2026 is coming, and Windows Central is already tracking the best deals on Windows PCs, gaming laptops, Xbox hardware, PC components, accessories, and more.
Black Friday officially falls on November 27, 2026, but you don't need to wait until then to start shopping. Retailers increasingly stretch their sales across November, and we'll be watching those early discounts just as closely as the deals that arrive over Black Friday weekend.
Our team covers and tests this hardware year-round, so we're looking beyond the percentage-off sticker. We'll compare prices, check products against their usual selling prices, and highlight the deals we'd actually recommend buying ourselves.
Not every worthwhile Black Friday deal has to be an all-time low, either. Some of our favorite PCs, gaming gear, and accessories rarely receive major discounts, which can make a genuinely good sale worth jumping on.
We'll keep this page updated throughout the Black Friday season as new deals arrive, prices change, and the best offers sell out.

When does Cyber Monday start?
Cyber Monday follows Black Friday and lands on November 30, 2026, this year. While the event traditionally centers on online shopping, Cyber Monday has increasingly become a continuation of the broader Black Friday sales period, with many discounts carrying over through the weekend.
Some Black Friday deals will stick around, while others could drop further or be replaced by new Cyber Monday offers. We'll track the best deals as retailers update their sales, checking prices and highlighting the discounts on PCs, Xbox hardware, gaming gear, accessories, and other tech that we think are genuinely worth buying.
