Black Friday 2026 store hours: what time each store opens, and who’s closed on Thanksgiving
What time do stores open on Black Friday 2026?
As of October 26, 2026, 2 of the 64 retailers here have posted 2026 Black Friday store hours. Last year, on Friday, November 28, 2025, 33 of the 51 with a published opening time opened between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m., and 54 of the 64 were closed on Thanksgiving Day. 15 of the 31 with a published closing time closed at 10 p.m. or later.

Where a store hasn’t announced its 2026 plans, we say so and show what it did last year, marked 2025, with the source.
Black Friday opening times, store by store
Last year 54 of these 64 retailers were closed on Thanksgiving Day. A “Not announced yet” cell means we found no 2026 statement from the retailer when we last checked; the 2025 line under it is what happened last year, not a forecast.

When online Black Friday sales started (2025)
These are online sale starts, apart from the store hours above. Each retailer sets its own time.
- 2025Walmart: Nov 14 (Walmart+ members from Nov 13 at 7 p.m. ET); online-only deals Nov 25–27 (Walmart)
- 2025Target: Nov 23, when its Black Friday event began (ran through Nov 29) (Target)
- 2025Costco: Thanksgiving Day, Nov 27, online-only deals; Black Friday deals from Nov 28 (BlackFriday.com)
- 2025Amazon: Nov 20 at 12:01 a.m. PST (About Amazon)
- 2025Kohl's: Nov 27, on Kohls.com (doorbusters through Nov 29) (Kohl's)
- 2025The Home Depot: Nov 27, online only; stores reopened Nov 28 (9to5Toys)
- 2025Lowe's: Thanksgiving Day, Nov 27, online; in stores Nov 28 (BlackFriday.com)
- 2025Best Buy: Nov 20 (Best Buy via Nasdaq)
How we check
- Every fact links to where we read it: the retailer’s own announcement where we could get it, otherwise a national news list (TODAY, CBS News) or BlackFriday.com’s store-hours list.
- A 2026 cell changes only when the retailer itself says something about 2026. Two answers already hold for 2026 because the retailers made them standing policy: Target on Thanksgiving, REI on Black Friday.
- Hours are local store time and can vary by location. Where two sources gave different hours, both are shown.
- No retailer paid to be on this page, and none of the links on it are affiliate links.
What changed
- : Checked all 64 retailers again. Walmart said on Oct. 26 that its Black Friday Deals event starts in stores at 6 a.m. local time on Nov. 27. Kohl's said on Oct. 21 that its stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day 2026. Target said on Oct. 21 that its Early Black Friday deals run Nov. 5–7. The Home Depot's and Lowe's 2026 answers are unchanged. No other retailer here has announced its 2026 Thanksgiving or Black Friday store hours yet.
- : Checked all 64 retailers again. Walmart said on Oct. 7 that its stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day 2026. The Home Depot's and Lowe's 2026 answers are unchanged. No other retailer here has announced its 2026 Thanksgiving or Black Friday store hours yet.
- : Checked all 64 retailers again. Lowe's said on Oct. 8 that its stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day 2026 and that its Black Friday deals start Oct. 29. The Home Depot's 2026 hours are unchanged. No other retailer here has announced 2026 Thanksgiving hours or Black Friday sale dates yet.
- : Checked all 64 retailers again. The Home Depot has posted its 2026 holiday hours: stores are closed on Thanksgiving and open at 6 a.m. on Black Friday. No other retailer here has announced 2026 Thanksgiving hours or Black Friday sale dates yet.
- : Checked all 64 retailers again: none has announced 2026 Thanksgiving hours or Black Friday sale dates yet. Added Trader Joe's 8 a.m. opening last Black Friday, and Amazon's Thanksgiving line now gives its sale dates.
- : Every BlackFriday.com citation now points at a Wayback Machine capture of the 2025 page (the store-hours list from Nov 26, 2025 and the sale-start-times article from Nov 14, 2025), so each 2025 label is backed by a page that says 2025. The captures agree with every listed hour; Belk, GameStop and Victoria's Secret keep their BlackFriday.com times, and now link the 2025 source that listed a different one.
- : Online start times now sit in their own section below the store table, with more retailers (Walmart, Target, Best Buy, The Home Depot added). Opening times that cited BlackFriday.com's live list, which now shows 2026, moved to a 2025 TODAY, FOX 5 Atlanta or Yahoo page that gives the same hour where one does.
- : Added last year's Black Friday closing times where TODAY, FOX 5 Atlanta or the retailer gave one, and online start times for Amazon, Kohl's, Lowe's and Costco. Searched again for 2026 announcements: none yet.
- : Checked all 64 retailers again: no 2026 Thanksgiving hours or Black Friday sale dates announced yet, so nothing on the page changed. Best Buy's 2026 holiday preview (Sept 14) gives no Black Friday dates or store hours.
- : Searched again for 2026 announcements: none yet. Added last year's Black Friday opening times for Costco, The Home Depot and Bass Pro Shops, and a note that Nordstrom Rack hours varied by store (TODAY, FOX 5 Atlanta, Yahoo). Added three stores: Ashley HomeStore, Cabela's and DSW.
- : First edition: 61 retailers. We found no 2026 Thanksgiving hours or Black Friday sale dates announced by any retailer in this list yet, so every 2026 cell says so and shows last year's facts, labelled 2025. Two standing policies (Target on Thanksgiving, REI on Black Friday) already cover 2026.
