If your wishlist is almost at maximum capacity, it’s almost time to start ticking it off – without breaking the bank. On the 27th of November, Black Friday sales are set to roll out across a range of Australia’s favourite retailers, offering savvy shoppers the chance to take home essential upgrades (and, perhaps, a few little treats) at massively discounted prices.

If you ask us, this major sale period is arriving at the perfect time. Australia’s cost of living crisis is making any full-priced find increasingly difficult to justify. But with some brands, like Sheet Society, having already launched their Black Friday sales, now’s the time to shop.

However, successful shopping requires a fair bit of pre-planning. Knowing which items are set to sell out, which discounts are worth taking note of, and the best products in the categories you’re shopping is key. And to save you time (and tabs), we’ve curated a comprehensive guide to snagging the best deals of Black Friday 2026.

While we aren’t psychic, we’ve been reporting on Black Friday sales for years now, and we’ve put together a full list of the hottest buys we’re expecting to see drop in price this November.

Black Friday tech sale predictions

Whether you’re a smart-home enthusiast, remote worker, or simply enjoy high-quality viewing and listening, the difference that a tech upgrade can make to your day-to-day is undeniable. Luckily, we’re expecting to see an array of exciting deals pop up in November, spanning computers, televisions, audio equipment, and even wellness trackers.

However, as tech is one of the most popular categories to shop during Black Friday, there’s often fierce competition to snag the best products before they sell out. This year, we recommend keeping an eye on Samsung’s ever-popular Frame TV range, Apple Laptops, and sought-after headphones (like the brand-new Beats 360 Headphones and Sony’s WH-100XM5 Headphones, which are already on sale for $649.95 at Myer).

When does Black Friday 2026 start and end?

This year, Black Friday falls on Friday, November 27, with sales running through to Cyber Monday on November 30th. To stay up to date with the best discounts, bookmark this tab; we’ll be updating this article frequently.

What is Black Friday?

Black Friday is an annual shopping event known for its hugely discounted sales and doorbuster deals offered by retailers. The shopping event started in America, and in recent years, sales have finally reached Australian shores. Nowadays, 45% of Australians hold out for sales like this one before making big-ticket purchases, so you can expect a little competition for the most popular items.

What is Cyber Monday?

While Black Friday includes brick-and-mortar stores as well as online retailers, Cyber Monday, the first Monday after the American Thanksgiving holiday, usually just includes digital sales (and sometimes even further discounts on products). This year, Cyber Monday is on November 30th, 2026.

Is there Black Friday in Australia?

Black Friday is one of the biggest sales events in Australia, despite being relatively new compared to other big sales such as Boxing Day or End of Financial Year.

It first became popular among retailers and shoppers in the early to mid-2010s. But it has quickly become a key period for retailers and shoppers based on its timing before Christmas and the range of deals available. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has even detailed how Black Friday has changed our spending patterns!

How good are Black Friday sales in Australia?

Black Friday sales in Australia offer unbeatable deals! Last year, we saw a huge range of brands and retailers slash prices across thousands of items ahead of the four-day sales period. Amongst them were crowd-favourites like Koala, Emma Sleep, James Lane, Temple & Webster, KitchenAid, and many more.

Is Click Frenzy or Black Friday better?

While both sales events offer great deals, Black Friday typically provides more discounts, often with a wider range of products. Its proximity to Christmas makes it advantageous for holiday shopping, offering ample opportunities to save on gifts and essentials.
