Cyber Monday: dates, traditions and planning
When is Cyber Monday 2026?
Cyber Monday 2026 is Monday, 30 November, in ISO week 49. It follows US Thanksgiving on Thursday, 26 November and Black Friday on 27 November.
The date is linked to the US holiday calendar even for shoppers elsewhere. Retailers in Canada, the UK, Australia and India commonly use the same Monday, not a date tied to their own national holidays.
When is Cyber Monday 2027?
Cyber Monday 2027 is Monday, 29 November. The rule is the Monday after US Thanksgiving, which is the fourth Thursday of November. That places Cyber Monday between 26 November and 2 December, always on a Monday.
Because Thanksgiving moves within November, Cyber Monday moves with it. The five-year table above shows each date with its weekday and ISO week number, so you can plan campaigns, budgets or purchases well ahead.
Where did Cyber Monday come from?
The term was coined in 2005 by the National Retail Federation’s Shop.org to describe the surge in online shopping on the Monday after Thanksgiving. At the time, many people had faster internet at work than at home, which helped the Monday stand out in sales data.
Today the distinction between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is less sharp: many retailers run one continuous promotion from before Thanksgiving through the following week. The calendar date marks the conventional day, not the boundaries of any individual sale.
Planning around Cyber Monday
Treat the date as an anchor, not a guarantee. Retailers set their own start and end times, often in a specific time zone, and many deals begin days earlier. Check the offer’s stated deadline, currency and delivery terms before relying on a general countdown.
The countdown on this page targets midnight at the start of the conventional date in your chosen time zone. For a specific sale deadline, use the custom countdown with the exact time and zone stated by the retailer.
