How Many Days Until Black Friday 2028?

Black Friday 2028 is Friday, 24 November 2028

There are 828 days between 19 August 2026 and Black Friday 2028, which falls on Friday, 24 November 2028. That is 118 weeks and 2 days, or 566 working days once Saturdays, Sundays and the US federal holidays in between are taken out — the figure that matters if you are counting delivery lead time or a work schedule rather than sleeps. The date is 2028-11-24 in ISO form and 11/24/2028 in the US format, it falls in ISO week 47 of 2028, and it is day 329 of 366.

How the date of Black Friday is decided

The day after Thanksgiving, so the fourth Friday in November — between 23 and 29 November. It is not a federal holiday, though many employers close.

That makes it a computed date: there is no fixed day and no simple weekday rule, so it has to be worked out from a formula or a calendar of its own each year. In 2028 it works out as Friday 24 November.

Black Friday is an observance rather than a federal holiday. Offices, banks and schools stay open unless an individual employer chooses otherwise, and it counts as an ordinary business day in every calculator here. Only the eleven federal holidays are treated as non-working days — the list and the reasoning are on the holiday sources page.

Both the date and the weekday move, because the rule is not tied to either.

Every convention used above — whether the start date counts, how month ends are clamped, which holidays close an office — is written out on the methodology page, including how we count the 566 working days above.
