Verizon's Holiday sale is already live, folks
Looking for Verizon Black Friday deals? Good news, folks - the carrier has already launched an excellent extended early Holiday sales event that covers everything from the latest iPhones to home internet packages.
While I expect that the carrier will be launching more offerings over the course of November, as Deals Editor I've already gone through and picked-out the best early options. Just below you can see my favorites this week as well as detailed overviews of the various criteria and eligibility needed for the promotions.
As a brief overview, this week's best Verizon deals ahead of Black Friday include a range of free devices across both iPhones and Android flagships. In the case of the former, you'll be able to bundle in a free iPad and Apple Watch as well as get your hands on a free iPhone - either via a trade-in or new line on an unlimited plan. For Android users, you'll be able to not only get a beefy Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE tablet, but also either a Galaxy Watch 7 or Pixel Watch 2 to complete your bundle.
Stay tuned and bookmark this page for more Verizon Black Friday deals as we head through the month. Last year, the carrier launched a second wave of Black Friday deals a week ahead of the official date so there's a chance we'll see another batch of promotions shortly.

In that time, I've helped thousands of people get the best upgrade for their needs - mostly based on our extensive list of reviews and buying guides here at TechRadar. If you're looking to upgrade this Black Friday, I'll be here to clue you in with everything you need to know here.
Today's best Verizon deals ahead of Black Friday
Apple iPhone 16 Pro: free with a new unlimited line, plus free iPad and Apple Watch at Verizon
My favorite iPhone deal in the build-up to Black Friday is Verizon's current promo on the iPhone 16 Pro. The carrier has just bumped up its promotion on this awesome device to offer not just a free phone, but also a free iPad and Apple Watch. Note, you will need a new line on an Ultimate unlimited plan here and these accessories also need their own cellular lines ($15/mo total extra) if you're going to claim them. Still, this is an amazing promotion overall if you're looking to upgrade and want a high-end device to go alongside a high-end postpaid unlimited plan. Note that this deal is also available on the standard iPhone 16 if you want a smaller device.
Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max: $33.33 $5/mo with an unlimited plan, plus free iPad and Apple Watch at Verizon
If you're looking for a Pro-level device, right now the best Verizon deal is on the stunning iPhone 16 Pro Max. For the first time ever you can currently get this device for just $5/mo alongside a new line on an Ultimate unlimited plan without the need for a trade. This equates to a total saving of over $1,000 and you can also bundle in a free Apple Watch and iPad if you're willing to pay the $15/mo extra a month for their cellular lines. While the plan is still pretty pricey here the savings are potentially massive.
Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max: free with a new unlimited line plus free iPad and Apple Watch at Verizon
Want to go big? Here's low-key one of the best iPhone deals on the entire Verizon site right now. The stunning (and still good) iPhone 15 Pro Max is currently available for free alongside either an Ultimate OR Plus unlimited plan. The 'Or' is the critical part of this deal here because the Plus plan is a lot cheaper than the high-tier Ultimate plan - meaning you can bag this extremely high-end device for a relatively reasonable monthly price. Note that you can also throw in that free iPad and Apple Watch here as long as you're willing to pay for those additional cellular lines.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus: free with a new unlimited line, plus free Galaxy Watch and tablet at Verizon
This is the first time Verizon has offered the excellent Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus for free without a trade-in. That alone makes this a deal worth shouting about but you can also throw in a free Galaxy Watch 7 and a Galaxy Tab S9 FE as accessories right now. As with the freebies on the iPhones, note that you will need to pay for an additional cellular line for these accessories, which runs at $5/mo for the watch and $10/mo for the tablet.
Google Pixel 9 Pro: free with a trade-in, plus free Pixel Watch 2 and tablet at Verizon
Not into your Samsung devices? Here's a really superb early Verizon Black Friday deal on the stunning Google Pixel 9 Pro. Right now, this one is free with an eligible trade-in and you can also get yourself a free Pixel Watch 2 and the Galaxy Tab S9 FE. Much like the above deal on the Galaxy S24 Plus, this one requires additional accessory cellular lines if you claim your freebies but it's overall an outstanding deal considering how new and popular this device is.
Verizon home internet: Netflix and Max for 12-months
And, it's not just phones that are covered in this week's early Black Friday deals at Verizon. You can also get some superb freebies with the carrier's home internet packages, which by the way, are much cheaper if you're an existing mobile user. Right now, new customers will get a full year of Netflix and HBO Max on the house - two streaming service bundles that equate to over $200 in value. If you'd prefer, there's also an Xbox gaming bundle up for grabs with a gift card and accessories.
Verizon Black Friday deals: FAQ
When will Verizon Black Friday deals be available?
Black Friday 2024 falls on November 29th but Verizon usually releases its Black Friday deals a little ahead of the event. Last year's sale included a 'flash preview sale' around a week ahead of the actual calendar date so we expect the carrier to do something similar this year. Generally speaking, however, it's good practice to be on the lookout for Black Friday deals from early November onwards because plenty of retailers offer up good deals well ahead of Black Friday proper.
What Verizon Black Friday deals should I expect?
Verizon should have a decent mix of phone deals, internet deals, and various bundle deals on Black Friday itself. Verizon's Black Friday deals tend to set the tone for the next twelve months of promotions at the carrier so the chances of seeing something pretty new is relatively high.
Last year's Black Friday deals at Verizon, for example, included a free iPad and Apple Watch with all eligible iPhone purchases - a deal that's since become pretty common at the carrier. We expect similar Black Friday deals this year, with free devices being thrown in with the latest Android and iPhones alongside big trade-in rebates and various other discounts that require an unlimited data plan.
Does Verizon have Black Friday deals for existing customers?
Yes - Verizon's Black Friday deals are nearly always open to both new and existing customers. Back in the day, it was common for carriers to reserve their best deals for new customers switching over from other carriers but that's less of the case now.
That said, it's highly likely that the best Verizon Black Friday deals will require you to either sign-up for, or open a new line on, one of the carrier's pricey unlimited plans. For example, most of the best deals this year have been locked to a new line on the higher-end Ultimate Unlimited plan, which runs for 36-months and costs $90 per month for a single line. With that said, there are also deals on slightly older or cheaper phones that don't require this super high-end plan to be eligible.
Are Verizon Black Friday deals available in store?
Yep, Verizon Black Friday deals are usually available in store as well as online and they're usually exactly the same deals.
It's worth noting that there are sometimes online exclusives at Verizon, which are clearly marked on the carrier's website. This is generally the way with all Verizon deals, not just those over Black Friday so it's worth checking the various product pages online before you commit to purchasing either way.
If you're interested in visiting in-store, Verizon stores generally open at 8am on Black Friday. You should, however, enter your zip code here and check your local stores' timetable, just in case it's different.
