The 2026 dates come from Target’s Oct. 21 release and its Help page. The 2025 values come from Target’s Oct. 30, 2025 fact sheet and its Nov. 20, 2025 release. Weekdays for 2026 are our computation. Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, Nov. 26, Black Friday on Friday, Nov. 27, and Cyber Monday on Monday, Nov. 30. You can mark each date on the November 2026 printable calendar and the December 2026 printable calendar.

What does Target’s 2026 release say about the Early Black Friday sale?

The release says “Early Black Friday deals run Nov. 5-7, followed by new limited-time offers every weekend throughout the holiday season.” It also says that “Beginning Nov. 1, guests can shop a new Deal of the Day every day through Dec. 24,” plus “a first-ever one-day preview of upcoming offers.” The release does not say which day that preview falls on, and it gives no times for the Nov. 5-7 sale.

How does Target’s 2026 Holiday Price Match work?

Target Help states: “Starting November 1, 2026, if you purchase an item in store or online and the price goes lower at Target on or before December 24, 2026, you can request a price match.” The page adds that Target Plus purchases made online get a price adjustment if the price drops on or before Dec. 24, 2026.

The practical dates are short. Keep your receipt, watch for a price drop, and make the request by Thursday, Dec. 24. This policy covers Target’s own price drops. For how Best Buy, Walmart and Target treat competitors’ prices, see our Black Friday 2026 price match policy story.

The same Help page says that for purchases from Nov. 1 through Dec. 24, 2026, there is an extended return window for electronics and entertainment. We left out the return deadline because we did not confirm a date on the page.
