Cyber Monday Countdown

Cyber Monday falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving — four days after the fourth Thursday of November. It was coined by the National Retail Federation in 2005 to describe the spike in online sales when shoppers returned to work after the Thanksgiving weekend and shopped using faster office internet connections. Today it is the single largest online shopping day of the year in the United States, surpassing Black Friday for online sales. The date falls between November 26 and December 2.

Cyber Monday deals are largely exclusive to online retailers and often exceed Black Friday discounts on technology, software, and subscription services. For bargain hunters, knowing the exact days remaining helps plan which items to hold off purchasing and which Black Friday deals are worth grabbing early versus waiting for Cyber Monday prices.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

When is Cyber Monday this year?

Cyber Monday falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving — the fourth Monday after the fourth Thursday of November. It falls between November 26 and December 2. This countdown calculates the correct date automatically.

Is Cyber Monday better than Black Friday for deals?

For online shopping, Cyber Monday often offers deeper discounts on electronics, software, and subscription services (streaming, cloud storage, VPN). Black Friday tends to have stronger deals on physical products, appliances, and in-store bundles. Many major retailers now offer the same deals across both days, effectively creating a 'Cyber Week.'

What are the best Cyber Monday categories?

Historically: laptops and tablets (20–40% off), software and apps (50–70% off), streaming and subscription services (30–50% off for annual plans), smart home devices, headphones, and gaming gear. Clothing discounts on Cyber Monday are typically smaller than Black Friday.

Do Cyber Monday deals sell out?

Yes — especially for popular electronics with limited stock and software bundles with quantity caps. Many retailers release deals in waves throughout the day. Setting up accounts, saving payment methods, and building wishlists before Cyber Monday reduces checkout time when deals go live.

Does Cyber Monday extend into Cyber Week?

Many retailers now extend Cyber Monday deals through Wednesday or even the full week. Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy typically maintain elevated discounts through the first week of December. The strongest prices are usually on Cyber Monday itself for the most in-demand items.
