What I've seen is that you don't have to wait until tomorrow to score a bargain as thousands of Black Friday deals are available right now. You can check out all the top sales I've found below, including the headline offers from each event and my recommendations for the best places to shop for certain products based on my experience covering Black Friday for eight years.
For retailers in the US, you've got the big three of Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart leading the way with some of this year's largest sales. All have some huge deals, including TVs from as little as $59.99, record-low prices on Apple tech and first-ever discounts on new products such as the latest Kindle Paperwhite.
Meanwhile, in the UK, I saw Black Friday effectively kicked off at the start of November with sales at the likes of Currys and Argos. They've expanded with more deals on TVs, laptops, vacuums, headphones and smart home tech each week. Today, you'll see other major retailers have joined them, including Amazon, John Lewis, AO and Very.
I'll continue updating this page with more of this year's Black Friday sales. Do check in regularly for the latest news, expert buying advice from the wider TechRadar team on the Black Friday deals they'd buy, and the top offers from even more places to grab a bargain.

I've been following Best Buy's Black Friday sale since it started earlier this month and the retailer's doorbuster deals are the highlights. Don't miss record-low prices on Dyson vacuums, MacBooks and TVs.

The Walmart Black Friday sale runs from now until December 2. I think 50% off a Walmart Plus membership is an excellent scoop, while the other best deals are on Apple Watch, AirPods, toys and games consoles.

I've found shopping direct from Samsung is the best if you have an existing phone, tablet or smartwatch to trade in. Doing that can save you up to $1,100 on the S24 Ultra, Tab 10 Ultra, Galaxy Watch 7, and more.

The Dell Black Friday sale has some of the best laptop deals I've seen this year with Inspiron and XPS devices from $229.99. There are also big savings of up to $800 on Alienware gaming desktops and laptops.

I recommend B&H Photo as the place to go for deals on cameras and drones this Black Friday as there are big reductions of up to $600 on Canon, Sony and DJI. It's also good for Apple tech, with up to $250 off iPads and MacBooks.

Shopping for major appliances or tools this Black Friday? Home Depot has up to 40% off, as well as massive savings of up to $1,000 on ovens, refrigerators, microwaves and more right now. Some doorbuster deals are in-store only.

Hulu's ad-supported tier is normally priced at $10 a month, but in this year's Black Friday sales, you can pick it up for a steal at $0.99 a month. If you can put up with the commercials then that's a saving of over $100 for a year's subscription.

The best Max Black Friday deal is back for Black Friday. It's the same offer as last year which drops the price of its Standard with ads plan to $2.99 a month for the first six months. Better still, this 70% saving is available to both new and returning customers.
Start Date: Live Now
Massive savings of up to 75% are available on cameras, laptops, drones and more tech at Adorama. It's the place I'd go for the best offers on popular products from DJI, Sony, Canon, Apple, and more. Plus, stock levels and delivery times should be better than Amazon.

Argos was one of the first retailers to start its Black Friday sale in the UK and I've been following it as new deals have been added each week. The latest offers available now include up to 50% off TVs, toys, Lego, appliances, gaming and gifts – with more deals to come tomorrow.

AO is another option for lots of tech bargains this Black Friday, but is mainly the place I'd go for the biggest savings on major kitchen appliances. I've also seen up to 40% off laptops, air fryers and vacuums.

You can save an extra 20% on refurbished phones, vacuums, cameras, laptops and more in eBay's Black Friday sale. I was impressed by some certified refurb items from eBay when trying them for myself earlier this year so this is a great way to save money.

The Samsung UK sale is a good option if you are looking to upgrade your current tech to a shiny new Galaxy phone or tablet thanks to potentially huge trade-in rebates of up to £570. There are also bonus freebies up for grabs including soundbars and earbuds.

LIVE: Latest Updates
Let's catch up with what's happening at Best Buy for a minute. The retailer has dropped new doorbuster deals every Friday throughout November and it's about to do the same tomorrow.
While you can still pick up some big deals on Dyson, Samsung, Apple today, these are the offers worth looking out for tomorrow when the next batch of Black Friday deals drop at Best Buy.
Best Buy Black Friday Doorbusters coming Nov 29:
- Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition
- Apple MacBook Pro M4
- Lenovo IdeaPad 1
- Roku 65-inch 4K Smart TV
- Meta Quest 3
- Samsung Galaxy S24 FE
- Canon EOS R100
- Samsung 65-inch Neo QLED 4K TV
Fancy trying out a new streaming service or returning to an old favorite to catch up on the latest shows you've missed. Well, would you look at that, there are huge new and returning subscriber offers for the likes of Hulu, Max, Disney Plus and Paramount Plus this Black Friday.
For me, I'd be looking at Max as I'm yet to watch The Penguin, House of the Dragon or Dune Prophecy. That service has slashed the price of its Standard with ads plan to a measly $2.99 a month for six months. More than enough time for me to get through those three shows and lots more!
One deal that's proven popular with shoppers in the Black Friday sales and in the TechRadar office is this record-low price for the Nothing Ear (a) at Amazon. I'll admit, I'd never considered this brand until our audio editor sang their praises in our five-star review of the Nothing Ear (a). Top-end sound quality, excellent noise cancellation, great battery life and a comfy fit? All for much less than a pair of AirPods? That's a bargain.
Nothing Ear (a): was £99 now £69 at Amazon
It's almost unheard of to get a Dyson vacuum for under $250 but trust the Black Friday sales to shatter all expectations and throw up what I think is one of this year's best-ever deals.
The Dyson Digital Slim has been slashed by $220 at Best Buy, making the brand-new entry-level vacuum a huge steal over Black Friday. Given it's just released, we haven't had an opportunity to test it ourselves, but the specs put it on a similar level to the Dyson V8, which is a solid all-around vacuum for most pet-free homes.
Expect decent performance for your everyday cleaning with the Digital Slim, then, plus the premium design and features that come with a Dyson.
Dyson Digital Slim: was $499.99 now $229.99 at Best Buy
So, what are the headlines you need to know right now?
Well, as I've said, it's been Black Friday for about a month already in the UK, as retailers such as Currys and Argos both kicked off their sales at the start of November. The pace hasn't slowed ever since with deals dropping left, right and centre, each and every week.
In terms of standout deals, so far this year's sales have been great for TVs, headphones and vacuums in particular. I'll pick out some specific offers over the next couple of hours that are 100% recommended buys if you're in the market for any of these for yourself or a loved one. Stay tuned, folks, it's gonna be a long one!
A very early happy Thanksgiving to those of you joining me in the US right now and good morning to everyone in the UK who's already up searching for this year's best Black Friday deals.
As someone who's covered Black Friday for nearly ten years now I've seen that this is the longest sales so far with many events kicking off at the start of November and running all through the month. That means many offers are already live today so you can score some excellent bargains on a whole host of top-rated tech.
I've picked out some of the best Black Friday sales for you to browse through right here, as well as the headline deals from each retailer you don't want to miss.
I'll continue adding more over the next 48 hours and into the weekend as the event ramps up. I'll also share individual deals recommended by TechRadar's team of expert reviewers on products such as laptops, TVs, headphones, vacuums, and more that they've tested and think are worth buying this Black Friday.
