When exactly is Black Friday?

Black Friday is the day after US Thanksgiving — the fourth Friday of November. The live counter above shows exactly how many days, hours, minutes and seconds remain until the next one, worked out in your own time zone.

Black Friday, the day after US Thanksgiving, is the biggest shopping event of the year — massive discounts in stores and online, marking the unofficial start of the Christmas shopping season.

The name comes from retail accounting: it was said to be the day stores went ‘into the black’ (profitability) for the year. The event has spread far beyond the US and now runs worldwide, often stretching into Cyber Monday and a full ‘Black Week’.
