Traditionally held on the day following the Thanksgiving Day holiday in America, it falls on the last Friday in November and is one of the biggest retail sales days.

Over the past few years, it has also become hugely popular in the UK, with many companies spanning their sales over a couple of weeks.

Here’s everything you need to know about the big day and what to expect…

When is Black Friday 2021?

Black Friday falls on November 26 this year.

But huge companies like Amazon have already started their sales a whopping three weeks early.

In fact, the giant retailer has dropped a huge range of deals including discounts of up to 45 per cent off across every category.

This includes big discounts on TVs, gaming, laptops, home appliances, beauty products and kids’ toys.

We would also look out for cut prices on Amazon’s streaming services, including Prime and Amazon Music.

If you’re after a new TV show to binge, Amazon is offering up to 50 per cent off selected movies and TV shows through Prime Video between 12-18 November.

New Audible users can also get three months of membership for just 99p until 30 November.

There are also plenty of other pre-Black Friday deals to look out for from the likes of Currys, ASOS, Apple and Boots.
