Black Friday Countdown — How Many Days Until Black Friday?
Black Friday Countdown is here.
Black Friday falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States and is widely regarded as the start of the Christmas shopping season. Retailers offer deep discounts both in-store and online, making it one of the biggest shopping days of the year.
The name "Black Friday" originated from the idea that it was the day retailers moved from operating at a loss ("in the red") to making a profit ("in the black"). Today it kicks off a four-day shopping weekend that extends through Cyber Monday.
This countdown tracks the days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining until Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, automatically calculating the correct date each year and resetting once the day passes.
Black Friday has become the unofficial kickoff to the US holiday shopping season, with retailers offering some of the year's steepest discounts to draw in early holiday shoppers.
Deal hunters and holiday shoppers use this countdown to know exactly how much time remains before the sales begin.
The term "Black Friday" originated in Philadelphia in the 1950s and 60s, initially referring to the heavy traffic and congestion caused by shoppers and tourists flooding the city the day after Thanksgiving. Retailers later reframed the term positively, tying it to the idea of stores moving "into the black" (profitable) thanks to a surge in holiday sales.
Because it always falls the day after Thanksgiving — the fourth Friday of November — the exact date shifts each year, which is why this countdown recalculates automatically.
