Cyber Monday Countdown — How Many Days Until Cyber Monday?

Count down to Cyber Monday, the Monday after Thanksgiving. The exact date adjusts automatically each year.

Cyber Monday falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving and is the online retail equivalent of Black Friday. Coined in 2005 to encourage people to shop online, it has grown into one of the biggest e-commerce sales events of the year, with discounts on electronics, clothing, home goods, and more.

Cyber Monday extends the Black Friday weekend shopping frenzy and often features exclusive online-only deals from major retailers and marketplaces.

About the Cyber Monday Countdown

This countdown tracks the days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining until Cyber Monday, the Monday after Thanksgiving, automatically calculating the correct date each year and resetting once the day passes.

Cyber Monday emerged as the online counterpart to Black Friday, focused specifically on e-commerce deals rather than in-store shopping, and has grown into one of the biggest online shopping days of the year.

Online shoppers and e-commerce businesses use this countdown to track exactly how much time remains before the deals go live.

The Online Shopping Holiday

The term "Cyber Monday" was coined in 2005 by the National Retail Federation's marketing arm, coinciding with the observation that online shopping spiked notably on the Monday after Thanksgiving, when workers returned to faster office internet connections. What started as a marketing term has since become a genuine retail phenomenon, with major deals now often extending well beyond just the one Monday.

Like Black Friday, Cyber Monday's date shifts each year based on Thanksgiving's fourth-Thursday placement, so this countdown recalculates the correct date automatically.

How to Use the Cyber Monday Countdown

  • Online deal planning: Track how much time remains before the sales start.
  • E-commerce marketing: Time promotional campaigns to build up to the day.
  • Wishlist prep: Finalize your online shopping list before the big day arrives.
  • Inventory planning: Prepare stock and shipping capacity for online retailers.
  • Budget planning: Set aside spending plans ahead of the deals.
