About Black Friday
The day after Thanksgiving, when stores open early with the year's biggest sales and the Christmas shopping season begins. Many employers give the day off, which makes Thanksgiving a four-day weekend.

How this count works, and questions
How this count works
Black Friday is 1 calendar day after Thanksgiving Day.
Black Friday. The count uses the actual calendar date. A substitute day off can differ; workplaces may follow additional local rules.
A worked example
From November 4, 2026 in New York, November 27, 2026 is 23 days away. The span contains 17 weekdays and 6 weekend days.
Questions about this countdown
Does the count include today?
No. The count leaves out today and includes Black Friday itself. The day before, it shows 1 day. On Black Friday, it shows 0 days.
Which time zone does the count use?
Your device's time zone, named on the Today line at the top of the page. Choose another time zone in the form to count to midnight there instead.
Why might another countdown show a different number?
Some countdowns also count today, or count full 24-hour periods. This page counts calendar dates. The clock under the answer shows the exact time left until midnight at the start of Black Friday.
Is Black Friday a public holiday in the US?
No. Black Friday is an observance. It is not one of the legal public holidays listed in federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103), so it is not a federal day off. States, schools and employers set their own schedules.
