When Is AliExpress Black Friday 2026?
AliExpress Black Friday begins on November 19.
There will be no separate warm-up period: the sale will begin as soon as 11.11 ends. Cyber Monday will follow, extending the sale.
| Event | Start Date | End Date |
|---|---|---|
| Black Friday | November 19 | November 29 |
| Cyber Monday | November 30 | December 3 |
Together, both events will run for nearly 15 days.
When to Start Preparing
It’s worth choosing your items before November 19. With no separate warm-up period, having a shopping list ready will help you start comparing deals as soon as the sale begins.
- Save the items you want to your Wish List or shopping cart, making sure to select the exact models and configurations.
- Keep track of their prices during 11.11. This will help you compare the two sales and see whether the items have become cheaper.
- Watch for new Black Friday coupons and promo codes. The sale will have its own offers, and coupons from 11.11 will no longer be valid.

If you need gifts by a specific date, allow extra time for delivery.
The History of Black Friday and Cyber Monday
Black Friday originated in the United States and falls on the day after Thanksgiving. The term is often traced back to Philadelphia police, who used it to describe the day when crowds of shoppers and visitors caused traffic congestion and created extra work for local officers. Over time, the name became associated with sales marking the start of the Christmas shopping season.
Cyber Monday came much later. In 2005, Shop.org, a division of the National Retail Federation, introduced the term for the Monday after Thanksgiving, when online shopping was growing in popularity. The event focused on online retail in general, rather than just electronics.
Over time, both shopping traditions spread beyond the United States. Today, retailers and online marketplaces often combine them into extended sales events that span more than just Friday and Monday.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which has better deals, Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
There’s no guarantee that the item you want will be cheaper on Cyber Monday. If you find a Black Friday deal that works for you, you don’t necessarily need to wait for Cyber Monday.
Can Black Friday and Cyber Monday orders take longer to arrive?
Yes. High order volumes can cause delays for sellers and shipping carriers. Not every order will be affected, but it’s worth allowing extra time for delivery if you’re shopping for the holidays.
Does “up to 80% off” apply to everything in my cart?
No. It’s the maximum advertised discount on selected deals. It doesn’t automatically apply to your entire order.
Are all products included in the sale?
No. Some products may remain at their regular prices or may not qualify for coupons. This applies to both Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Do I need to place my order as soon as the sale starts?
It’s worth acting quickly if you’ve already chosen an item and want to take advantage of a deal with limited stock or a limited number of coupons. Shopping right when the sale starts doesn’t guarantee the lowest price.
