About Cyber Monday
Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving weekend, dedicated to online shopping deals. Coined in 2005, it has grown into one of the largest online shopping days of the year globally, with over $11 billion spent online in a single day in recent years.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is Cyber Monday each year?
Cyber Monday is always the Monday after Thanksgiving — the Monday following Black Friday — falling between November 26 and December 2. It is the third day of the Thanksgiving holiday shopping weekend (after Black Friday and Small Business Saturday).
Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday deals?
It depends on the category. Cyber Monday has traditionally offered better deals on electronics and tech items, while Black Friday in-store deals sometimes win on TVs and appliances. Today many retailers run the same deals across the entire Thanksgiving weekend, so the distinction has blurred. Comparing prices across both days (and the weeks before) using price tracking tools gives the clearest picture.
Is Cyber Monday only for US shoppers?
Cyber Monday originated in the US but has spread globally. Canada, the UK, Australia, Germany, and many other countries now observe Cyber Monday with online sales. In some markets it has merged with or been overshadowed by local equivalents like Singles Day (November 11) in China, which now generates far larger sales volumes than any US shopping holiday.
What is the best time to shop on Cyber Monday?
Historically, the best deals tend to appear in the evening hours — particularly 10 PM to midnight Eastern — as retailers make final offers to capture last-minute shoppers. However, the most popular items sell out throughout the day. For high-demand products, monitoring from early morning and being ready to purchase quickly is advisable. Setting up accounts and saving payment information in advance prevents checkout friction when deals go live.
