When Is Black Friday 2026?
Black Friday 2026 falls on Friday 27 November, with Cyber Monday on 30 November. Many UK retailers, including Atlantic Electrics, start TV offers earlier in November. Stock on popular sizes like 55 and 65 inch can sell quickly, so it pays to shortlist your model before the day.
Are Black Friday TV Deals Worth It?
Yes, Black Friday is usually one of the cheapest times of year to buy a TV in the UK. Manufacturers clear last year’s ranges before new models arrive in spring, so 2025 and 2026 sets often see their lowest prices of the year. The trick is to compare the model number, not just the headline discount.
A good deal is one where:
- The model is current or last year’s, not an older range relabelled
- The price is lower than it has been in the past few months
- The spec matches how you watch: sport, films, gaming or everyday TV
- The retailer offers clear delivery, returns and warranty terms
