When is Black Friday 2023 and how long will the sales last?
As always, Black Friday 2023 lands the day after the US holiday Thanksgiving, which is why this year it falls on today (Friday 24 November). The sales event spans the four-day long weekend, culminating in its finale on Monday 27 November (also known as Cyber Monday).
