Best Buy’s early Black Friday doorbusters end tonight, Sunday, November 8, at 11:59 p.m. Central Time — the last chance to grab the weekend-only prices before the retailer’s main Black Friday sale begins on November 19.
The doorbusters launched on Friday, November 6, and run for three days only, with limited quantities and no rainchecks. The headline deal is a Samsung 65-inch OLED 4K TV at $899.99, down from $2,099.99 — a saving of $1,200. A gaming PC, the iBUYPOWER Slate with a Ryzen 5 processor and RTX 5060 graphics card, is $899.99 after $500 off.
Other verified doorbuster prices include a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra with 256GB at $949.99, down from $1,399.99; an Apple Watch Ultra 3 at $549, down from $799; and an M5 MacBook Air from $1,099, down from $1,299. New deals drop every Friday after this weekend, according to Best Buy’s holiday calendar.
What comes next
Best Buy’s main Black Friday sale runs for ten days from Thursday, November 19, through Saturday, November 28, followed by a Cyber Week sale from December 1 to 6. The retailer’s holiday price-match guarantee runs into January, so shoppers who buy now are covered if the price falls further — although Best Buy does not match competitors’ prices from November 19 to 30, or items labelled as Black Friday pricing.
The early sale is part of a staggered season. Target’s early Black Friday deals ran from November 5 to 7 and have now ended, although its Deal of the Day runs daily through December 24. Walmart’s early Black Friday deals start on November 12, with its main Black Friday sale from November 23 to 29. Amazon has not yet announced its Black Friday week dates, although early deals are live now in its Holiday Shop.
What to check before buying
The pattern this year is familiar: the deepest discounts land in the Black Friday weekend wave, not the early sales. Shoppers should check the model number — a TV that looks identical can be a different model with a different panel — and confirm the warranty, the return window and whether delivery and wall-mounting are included.
With Black Friday itself on November 27 and Cyber Monday on November 30, the best advice is to shortlist now and buy in the wave that covers the item you want. The doorbuster prices end at midnight tonight Central Time, and once they are gone, the next wave of deals does not arrive until November 19. Best Buy says new deals will drop every Friday in between — so shoppers who miss tonight still have chances, but not at these prices.
