Black Friday in New Zealand typically falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States, with the official date for 2025 being Friday, November 28. In NZ, many retailers start their sales a week or so earlier, and the big deals often run through the weekend into Cyber Monday. Key points for 2025:

• Official date: Friday, November 28, 2025 (NZ time).

• Early deals: NZ retailers commonly launch Black Friday promotions from about mid to late November, sometimes as early as November 21–23, with the strongest discounts often appearing on the official Friday and continuing through Cyber Monday (December 1, 2025).

• Cyber Monday wrap-up: Many promotions extend into Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025, and some retailers continue into the week. Note that Cyber Monday 2025 in NZ is December 1–2 depending on retailer.

What to watch for:

• Start times vary by retailer; expect online sales to kick off in the days leading up to November 28, with some doorbusters available only for limited hours.
• Sale tiers: anticipate tiered discounts (sitewide, category-specific, or product-specific) and bundles, often with extra online-only offers.
• Price tracking: if you’re researching specific items, track prices a week or two in advance and compare against anticipated Black Friday prices to gauge real savings.
