When is Black Friday 2026?

Black Friday 2026 falls on 27 November 2026. The date changes every year because Black Friday always takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving in the US.

Black Friday has also become one of the biggest shopping events of the year in Switzerland. From electronics and fashion to mobile plans, many retailers offer attractive deals. And the savings often start early, with promotions running from the days leading up to Black Friday until Cyber Monday.

Black Friday mobile deals: What to look out for

Black Friday is a great opportunity to save on your mobile plan. But a low price doesn't always mean a great deal. What really matters is what you get for your money.

Here's what to check:

  • Promotional price: How much do you save compared to the regular price?
  • Discount duration: Is the reduced price permanent or only valid for a limited time?
  • Additional costs: Are there any activation fees or other charges?
  • Contract terms: Is there a minimum contract period?
  • Data allowance: How much mobile data is included in Switzerland?
  • Roaming: Which countries are covered, and how much data can you use abroad?
  • Extras: Which additional features are included, and which cost extra?

Saving smart isn't just about paying less. It's about getting more for your money.

Where does the name Black Friday come from?

The term Black Friday originated in the US. In the 1960s, police in Philadelphia used it to describe the huge crowds and traffic chaos that followed Thanksgiving.

Later, another explanation became popular: retailers made so many sales on this day that their accounts went from red (losses) to black (profits).

Today, Black Friday is known worldwide for its attractive deals and discounts.

Smart shopping tips for Black Friday

Not every discount is a great deal. With these simple tips, you can shop smarter:

  • Compare prices: A big discount doesn't always mean the best price.
  • Know what you need: Buy what you actually need, not just what's on sale.
  • Set a budget: Keep your spending under control.
  • Check the conditions: Look out for additional costs and return policies.
  • Stay cool: Don't let countdown timers pressure you into buying.

Because the best deal is the one that actually works for you.
