Everything to know about Amazon Black Friday 2025: Official dates, best deals, highlights
As the Black Friday season heats up, Amazon is leading the charge with a series of impressive deals that are sure to attract bargain hunters. This year, the mega-retailer kicked off its Black Friday sale early on November 20, running through November 28, with additional discounts rolling into Cyber Monday on December 1. This extended shopping event allows consumers more time to navigate the myriad of offers and find the best prices on everything from electronics to household goods, making it a welcome relief in a time of rising costs. Unlike traditional retailers like Walmart and Target, Amazon’s online-only model means shoppers can skip the long lines and enjoy the convenience of browsing from the comfort of their homes, even post-Thanksgiving feast.
The deals on offer this Black Friday are nothing short of spectacular, with significant discounts across various categories. Notable highlights include the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones available for $248—offering a savings of $151.99 along with an additional $30 Amazon credit when using the code SONYX30. For readers, the Amazon Kindle is priced at $79.99, saving customers $30. Tech enthusiasts can also take advantage of the Anker Solix C1000 power station for $349, slashing $450 off its regular price. Additionally, home entertainment options such as the Amazon 65-inch QLED Mini-LED 4K Fire TV are marked down to $894.99, a savings of $195. With discounts reaching up to 55% on select home products and 50% off on Amazon devices, this year’s sale is shaping up to be one of the best yet, offering shoppers a chance to snag coveted items at record-low prices.
While Amazon does not release a traditional Black Friday ad like its competitors, it does provide a press release outlining key categories of deals, including electronics from JBL and Canon, kitchen appliances from Ninja, and toys from popular brands like Melissa & Doug and Nerf. To help consumers make informed decisions, it’s advisable to utilize price tracking tools like Camelcamelcamel to verify the authenticity of discounts, as sometimes prices can be inflated to create the illusion of a better deal. Overall, Amazon’s Black Friday event is a treasure trove for savvy shoppers looking to maximize their savings this holiday season, and the array of deals available ensures that there’s something for everyone.

Black Friday is one of, if not
the
biggest shopping event of the year. What used to be a single day on the Friday after Thanksgiving has turned into a full-blown season that starts far before the holiday itself and extends through December. But we’re not complaining. Having more time to sort out your finances and shop for less is a blessing in a time when everything is outrageously expensive.
Unlike its major competitors
Walmart
,
Best Buy
, and
Target
,
Amazon
doesn’t have a physical storefront where you can wait in line to score doorbuster deals. And yet, it typically ends up having the best prices of every retailer regardless of it being online only. And honestly, nothing beats shopping from your couch with a turkey hangover on Black Friday.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Amazon Black Friday 2025 sale, including the best deals already live.

Best Buy’s early Black Friday deals are live. As a shopping reporter, here’s what I would buy now.
On first glance, a deal might look great, but it’s worth a few extra seconds of research. To confirm you’re actually getting a good deal, head to
Camelcamelcamel
to check on a product’s price history. Just copy the Amazon URL into the price tracker and you’ll get full stats. On occasion, Amazon can make a deal look better than it actually is by inflating the list price. On the flip side, we’ve also seen Amazon post the list price as something lower than the recommended MSRP which can spell an awesome deal for Amazon shoppers.
