Early Black Friday Deals 2026

While the Friday after Thanksgiving has traditionally been the busiest shopping day of the year, Black Friday deals have gradually spread well beyond the day. First came Cyber Monday, then Cyber Week. Now, early Black Friday deals kick off before November has even started. The tricky part for early birds is knowing what’s a genuine deal and what’s likely to go even lower when Black Friday arrives. The Reviews team at WIRED tracks prices on our favorite gadgets year-round, and we only highlight deals on devices we have tested that we’d be comfortable recommending to friends and family. Some of these picks may be cheaper for Black Friday, but these are the discounts that have caught our eye so far. The best trackers for anyone with an iPhone; you can use them to keep tabs on your keys, luggage, bike, or whatever else you worry might go missing. Each AirTag location is marked clearly in the Find My app. The battery should last you a year, and we have a guide on how to replace your AirTag battery. Just please don’t use them to track people. This is the lowest price we have seen on the single tag, but it drops this low pretty frequently. For Apple fans with an iPhone or MacBook, the Apple AirPods Max 2 are the best over-ear headphones. They offer great sound quality, effective noise cancellation, and good transparency modes. They are usually a little too pricey for our tastes compared to Sony and Bose options, but at $100 off, they look more tempting. Before you pull the trigger, they will likely drop by at least another $30 for Black Friday. If you want to pair wireless earbuds with your iPhone and enjoy a seamless, feature-rich experience, you should snag the AirPods Pro 3. They are comfy, boast top-notch active noise cancellation, and can even translate some languages in real-time. That said, they are at this price often enough that I hesitate to call it a great deal, and they will likely drop by another $20 for Black Friday. With a great camera, solid performance, and super slick software features, the Pixel 10 Pro is an excellent Android phone. It also has proper Qi2 support for fast wireless charging, but more importantly, the magnets inside make it easy to attach to docks and chargers. Its bigger sibling, the Pro XL, has been my daily driver for most of the last year, and it has served me well. It has frequently dropped to this price before, but I still think it’s a good deal. Best Buy has the best prices at the time of writing, at $699 for the Pro and $849 for the Pro XL, but they may dip lower for Black Friday. This is one of our favorite 3-in-1 chargers for keeping your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch charged up from a single outlet. The unique feature is its height adjustability, enabling it to pull double duty as a tripod for shooting video or FaceTime calls with family or friends. It has been on sale (close to half price) for a while now, but has never been lower than $60 at Best Buy. Snap it up while you still can. Gadgets are too boring. I want more anthropomorphized devices in my life. Ugreen simply added a wee robot face to this wireless charger that changes its expression based on the charging status. I immediately like it more than all my old faceless chargers. The charging pad supports Qi2/MagSafe and tilts up to 70 degrees to reveal a second pad to charge AirPods or other wireless earbuds. It even has a USB-C port for a third gadget. At 40 percent off, this is the lowest price I’ve seen. My pick for the best budget Wi-Fi router dips down to this price fairly often, but it’s a great deal for a Wi-Fi 7 router with four antennas, a 2.5-Gbps WAN, a 2.5-Gbps LAN, and three gigabit LAN ports. It’s only dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), so there’s no 6 GHz option, and performance is limited, but for a small home with modest demands, this is a tough price to beat. I always associate Black Friday with footage of excited shoppers struggling to carry huge TVs out of big box stores. The reality is most Black Friday TV deals are on terrible models you should never buy. But this deal on LG’s 55-inch C6 OLED TV caught my eye. At $400 off the regular price, it is the cheapest it's ever been. The sale price on the 65-inch also makes it a better option than the entry-level LG B6 we just reviewed. Just make sure you pair it with a streaming device and disable the tracking. This security camera records video at up to 2K at 30 frames per second, offers a 150-degree field of view, and connects directly to your Wi-Fi network. The Tapo app can detect motion (person, pet, vehicle) and enables you to set activity zones and privacy zones. The two-way audio is okay, and there’s a built-in alarm function. You can also slip a microSD card in for local recording. It lacks HDR, but it still earns a spot in our best outdoor security cameras guide. It has bounced between $90 and $65 for the last year, but it’s now down to $60. It may not be one of the best video doorbells you can buy, but at this sale price, Blink’s latest wired doorbell is the cheapest option worth considering. It delivers reasonably good 2K footage and passable two-way audio, though it’s definitely less responsive than some other options on the market. If you want person detection and cloud storage, you’ll also need to spring for the subscription (from $3 a month). The battery version is also on sale at $39 ($41 off). Permanent outdoor lights are a great way to avoid having to get up the ladder every holiday season. They offer simple white lighting, different colors, and also holiday-themed lighting effects. Eufy’s lights aren’t the brightest, but they hold up well against the competition and support Matter, so you can tie them into any smart home ecosystem. All lengths are on sale, but the 200-foot string has the best discount and is at its lowest price ever. If you like to run an organized household, the best digital wall calendars are sure to appeal. You can use them to sync your digital calendars, create lists of chores, and plan your family meals. The Everblog HomeCal is our pick for folks who can’t stomach another subscription. It also works like a digital photo frame if you upload your snaps, and you can log into apps like Netflix and Spotify on it. This is the lowest we’ve seen it drop so far. One of the best Dyson vacuums, the V15 Detect Absolute has two heads: a Digital Motorbar for carpets and rugs, and a Fluffy Optic for hard floors. This deal bundles it with the car cleaning kit and knocks $290 off the MSRP. Not only is that a third off, it’s cheaper than the regular V15 Detect on sale, but you get three additional accessories: a mini soft dusting brush, a stubborn-dirt brush, and a quick-release extension hose. This Dyson Week deal is available until October 31. Our favorite hair dryer, the Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer, is also on sale at $330 ($70 off). A good laptop docking station lets you convert your laptop into a desktop for a comfier experience when you’re working from home, and this compact beauty from Belkin is one of our top picks. GaN technology (gallium nitride semiconductors, a faster, more compact alternative to silicon) lets Belkin pack more ports than you can shake a USB-C cable at, including 96-watt power delivery, three 4K display ports, a gigabit Ethernet port, and more. This deal equals the lowest price we’ve seen. Learning about the wildlife in your garden can be a lot of fun, and the best smart bird feeders are an ideal way to see which feathered friends are in the area. The thoughtfully designed Kiwibit Bird Feeder 2 has a removable 1.5-liter dual-hopper seed reservoir, is easy to clean, and boasts a solar roof to keep the camera charged up. It snaps 8-megapixel photos, captures 4K video, and includes a nifty AI bird-identification feature. We’ve seen it on sale before, but never this low.
