Walmart Black Friday 2026: Sale Dates, Walmart+ Early Access and the Best Tech Deals Right Now

Walmart's first Black Friday 2026 sale, Early Black Friday Deals, starts Thursday, Nov. 12, and Walmart+ members get the first crack at its "hot Deal drops." Walmart hasn't published its full Black Friday ad yet, but several tech items are already marked down on Walmart.com. Here are the dates you need, plus the tech deals we checked on Walmart.com today, Nov. 3.

This is the first in our daily Black Friday series, with a different retailer each day through Cyber Monday. For every retailer's dates in one place, see our Black Friday 2026 overview.

Tech deals on Walmart.com right now

These are the prices Walmart.com showed on Nov. 3, 2026, at about 11:15 a.m. MT. All are sold and shipped by Walmart.com, not marketplace sellers. The "was" price is Walmart's own listed comparison price. Prices change often, especially this month, so check the listing before you buy.

• Apple AirPods 4: $89 (was $129.99).
• Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation: $119.97 (was $179).
• Beats Studio Pro wireless headphones (Matte White): $149 (was $299).
• Samsung 55-inch M70HB Mini LED 4K TV (2026): $298 (was $349.99).
• TCL 65-inch QM8L Mini LED Google TV (2026): $1,198 (was $1,398).
• Lenovo V14 G5 14-inch laptop (Intel Core i7-13620H, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Windows 11 Home): $629 (was $999.99).
• Canon EOS Rebel T7 with 18-55mm lens: $499 (was $579).

Our take: the AirPods 4 at $89 is the standout for gift shopping. If you want noise cancellation, the ANC model at $119.97 is the better buy for most people. The Lenovo V14 G5 uses a 13th-gen Intel chip, so it's a solid everyday laptop at that price rather than the latest model.

Walmart price match, briefly

Walmart stores will match the price of an identical item on Walmart.com (the store manager has the final say). Walmart.com doesn't match competitors' prices and doesn't adjust prices after you buy. So if a deal gets better during the Nov. 12 or Nov. 23 events, a price adjustment isn't guaranteed.

How to shop Walmart's Black Friday

• Set a reminder for the night before. Online deals start at 12:01 a.m. ET, so in Mountain time that's 10:01 p.m. on Nov. 11 and Nov. 22.
• Check who's selling. Walmart.com mixes its own listings with marketplace sellers. The deals above are all sold and shipped by Walmart.com.
• Don't pay for Walmart+ just for one deal. Early access only covers select hot Deal drops, and what's left opens to everyone 24 hours later.
