UPDATE: Nov. 25, 2022, 5:15 p.m. EST This post has been updated with new Black Friday deals on Amazon and the latest information about its upcoming Cyber Monday sale. Here's a quick peek at some highlights:

Amazon has been working in overdrive these past few months. Earlier in October, the retail giant's second Prime event (aka the Prime Early Access Sale) brought us record lows — and possibly some of the best deals of the season — on TVs, Pelotons, robot vacuums, MacBooks, and more. It also invited competing sales from Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and Bed, Bath, & Beyond, kicking off the holiday shopping season earlier than ever before.

Will the hype translate to especially good Black Friday deals on Amazon? We'll find out very soon. (Update: it has.)

When is Amazon's Black Friday sale?

True to form, Amazon is completely disregarding the calendar with the timing of its Black Friday sale this year. It'll be on for 48 hours, starting at 3 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day this Thursday, Nov. 24, and running through the end of the day on Friday, Nov. 25. Deals will be available at amazon.com/blackfriday, on the Amazon Shopping app, and through Alexa-enabled smart home devices (ask "Alexa, what are my deals?"), with surprise doorbusters dropping every 30 minutes during select timeframes.

Are Amazon Black Friday deals better than Cyber Monday?

So Black Friday ends on Nov. 25, we have the weekend to rest, and then the Cyber Monday madness begins, right?

Not quite. In line with their the-calendar-by-which-we-all-organize-our-lives-to-have-a-functioning-society-is-but-a-suggestion approach, Amazon's Cyber Monday sale will start on Saturday, Nov. 26, and run through Monday, Nov. 29. Yes, Monday is Saturday, Sunday, and Monday this year — just roll with it, there will be good sales.

But the question is whether there will be better sales when we make the switch. While we can't say definitively yet, we can confirm that some last-minute price drops to entice any holdout shoppers wouldn't be out of line with past years. Here's a sneak peek at the kinds of deals you can expect, per an Amazon press release:

We're keeping you updated on Amazon's best Black Friday deals in the meantime, but you bet we'll be on top of its Cyber Weekend offers, too. Keep reading to see a list of everything worth buying across the site, and be sure to check back often — we're updating it constantly.

Black Friday 2021 featured another offer where you'd get a free $5 Amazon credit just for watching a movie or TV episode, which will hopefully return once this year's sale officially goes live on Thursday.
