When Does Lowes Black Friday Start? 2026 Dates

Lowe's Black Friday deals began Oct. 29. Here is when 12 Days of Deals, Doorbusters and December Deal Drops arrive, plus the Thanksgiving catch.

Bottom Line

Oct. 29. Lowe's started its Black Friday deals on Oct. 29, four weeks before Black Friday. The deals cover tools, holiday décor, appliances, outdoor power equipment and more. On Nov. 16, 12 Days of Deals begins, with new savings each day leading up to Black Friday. Lowe's says its biggest savings of the season arrive Thanksgiving week. Black Friday Doorbusters become available to everyone on Nov. 27. MyLowe's Rewards and MyLowe's Pro Rewards members get early online access one day before that. The holiday catch: Lowe's stores are closed on Thanksgiving Day, though you can still shop online only deals. Also note that local stores do not honor online pricing.

Follow-up questions

Is there a Lowe's sale after Black Friday?
Yes. Lowe's lists extended Cyber Deals among its holiday savings, but its pages here do not give dates for them. December Deal Drops start Dec. 3 and run through Christmas Eve, with fresh savings on gifts and holiday essentials.
Is Lowe's open on Thanksgiving?
No. Lowe's stores stay closed on Thanksgiving Day so associates can spend time with loved ones. You can still shop online only deals that day. Stores are also closed on Christmas Day.
How do I get early access to Lowe's Doorbusters?
Join MyLowe's Rewards or MyLowe's Pro Rewards. Members can shop Doorbusters online one day before they open to everyone on Nov. 27. The early access Lowe's describes is online, not in store.
Will a Lowe's store match the online Black Friday price?
No. Lowe's Black Friday page says its local stores do not honor online pricing. The same page says promotions may carry product, brand, timing or eligibility restrictions, and separate price match exclusions may apply.

What to do

If you want a Doorbuster, join MyLowe's Rewards before Nov. 27 so you can shop it online a day early. If the online price is the one you want, buy online, since stores will not honor it.
