Black Friday is quickly approaching, and as usual, it’s set to be one of the biggest shopping events of the year.
Black Friday always offers tons of deals on all kinds of products, allowing customers to get deep discounts on tech, home goods, clothing, toys, and more. It’s a great way to check items off your holiday shopping list without having to pay full price for everything.
Curious about Black Friday 2023, when it is, and what kinds of deals you can expect? Here’s everything you need to know.

Where can I start looking for Amazon deals and gift ideas?
You can scope out new deal drops—including early deals—at Amazon’s Holiday Shop.
New deals will drop as often as every five minutes during select periods throughout the Black Friday and Cyber Monday events, so you should check our Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping pages often to find new savings.
Customers can also get personalized deal notifications from Alexa up to 24 hours in advance on eligible items within their Wish List, Carts, or Saved for Later lists, and can keep an eye on personalized deals throughout the season by saying, “Alexa, what are my deals?” They can also ask Alexa to remind them of deals once they are live, or ask Alexa to make a purchase when a deal is available by saying, “Alexa, buy it for me.”
Amazon will also be sharing new deals during the first-ever Black Friday NFL game on Prime Video on November 24. You can tune in to catch deals from brands like TCL and Dyson as they pop up during the broadcast. Pre-game coverage starts at 1:30 p.m. EST before the New York Jets take on the Miami Dolphins.
You don’t have to be a Prime member to watch the Black Friday game, but you will need to sign up for an Amazon account to watch for free on any device from anywhere.
