Walmart has officially rolled out its Black Friday 2025 sale schedule, confirming a multi-phase approach that blends in-store promotions with a strong online focus. The retail giant’s announcement marks the formal start of the holiday shopping season, promising record-breaking discounts and extended access windows for members. Walmart+ members are once again getting the edge: they’ll receive five hours of early access to every Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale event. “We know our members want to secure the best deals first—especially on limited-stock electronics and toys,” Walmart stated in its press release. The first sale event runs 14–16 November, with Walmart+ members gaining online access starting 13 November at 7 PM ET. A second event follows from 25–27 November online and 28–30 November in-store, with early member access on 24 November at 7 PM ET. The grand finale, a Cyber Monday sale, goes live 1 December, with Walmart+ early access from 30 November. Major Deals Revealed Ahead of Official Ad Drop While Walmart’s full 2025 Black Friday advertisement is still under wraps, the company has shared a sneak peek of headline discounts expected to drive footfall and online traffic. Highlighted offers include: 98” TCL QLED 4K TV for $998 (down from $1,798)Dyson V12 Detect Slim Cordless Vacuum Cleaner for $399.99 (was $729)Barbie Malibu Travel Playset at $12 (was $21.88)Cricut Explore 3 Bundle for $197.99 (was $410)Goodyear Reliant All-Season Tires, $30 off per tireLevi’s Signature Denim for $15 (was $24.98) How Walmart Stacks Up Against Competitors Retail analysts note that Walmart’s staged Black Friday rollout mirrors tactics used by Amazon, Costco, Sam’s Club, and Best Buy, all of whom have shifted towards multi-week digital-first campaigns. Costco has released a 32-page deal booklet, while Amazon and Best Buy are running weekly doorbusters with early member privileges similar to Walmart’s strategy. Industry experts predict that early Black Friday events will account for nearly half of total holiday e-commerce revenue this year. By coupling its Walmart+ membership advantage with competitive pricing, Walmart is positioning itself to dominate the 2025 shopping rush—particularly among value-driven and tech-focused consumers.
