We may a little while away but we're already thinking about what's coming up in this year's Best Buy Black Friday deals. Right here, we've pulled together everything we learned from last year's deals hunt and what the best offers were, plus given some early predictions for what to expect in 2022 so you can make your money go further.

Black Friday 2022 may fall on November 25 this year, but it's guaranteed that a vast number of deals will be available throughout the whole month as retailers, including Best Buy, launch their sales way ahead of time. The start date for these Black Friday sales has got even earlier over recent years, so you no longer need to wait until the day itself to get the best bargains.

Some of the biggest deals we expect to see this year at Best Buy are on TVs, laptops, Apple products, electric scooters and small kitchen appliances. These categories have seen some of the most significant discounts in previous sales events over the last 12 months. Based on that, there's a good chance that similar deals will return over Black Friday, along with some better-than-ever discounts on new tech and popular products.  

In the weeks ahead, look out for many more updates as we get closer to this year's Best Buy Black Friday deals. We'll update this page frequently, keeping you informed of exactly what's coming up and all the unmissable deals. Bookmark this page and get a head start when the shopping frenzy begins!

Today's best deals at Best Buy

If you're looking to shop today there are regular deals available each week at Best Buy across many of the retailer's most popular categories. We've gathered up some of the best sales live today just below for those interested in having a browse.

When will the Best Buy Black Friday sale start?

We don't know for certain, but we predict that the first Best Buy Black Friday deals in 2022 will arrive in early-to-mid November. The official date of Black Friday is November 25, but we're expecting a similar situation to last year, which saw loads of deals trickle in well before the day itself. 

In fact, compared to a few years ago, we saw relatively few big bargains exclusively available on Black Friday, so if there's something on offer that you like the look of, it's worth bagging it when you see it to avoid any stock issues that might crop up.

However, at Best Buy, Black Friday proper still hosts the largest number of deals at the same time, so if you're more of a window shopper (rather than having your eye on a particular product), it's well worth checking in over the Black Friday weekend to see if anything interesting drops.

Best Buy Black Friday deals: what to expect

Befitting one of the country's biggest tech stores, Best Buy Black Friday deals typically focus on consumer technology goods like TVs, audio equipment and headphones, laptops, PC components, and cell phones.

However, last year we saw a huge range of items including kitchen gadgets, health and beauty items, the latest wearables and smart tech, plus tons more. 

As we get closer to the time, we'll of course update this section to give a more informed roundup of what we expect to see. However, below we've included some of the tops deals we found last year to give you a taste.

Were there any stock issues with last year's Best Buy Black Friday deals?

With the shopping landscape affected by COVID-19 and delivery issues, we were worried we might see stock issues plague last year's Black Friday – especially when it came to the very hottest products.

Unsurprisingly, we did see the tastiest deals get snapped up in a matter of hours, with some culprits being the best-priced Chromebooks and Apple products like the AirPods Pro.

However, it seemed like Best Buy was staggering its stock, as throughout the weekend we saw a number of products revived, meaning on each day of the sale the best deals were once again available. By the end of the weekend and into the Best Buy Cyber Monday deals, though, hot sellers were well and truly unavailable.

So, we'd recommend buying when you see a deal, but it's definitely worth checking in frequently to see if there's been a re-up.

When do Best Buy's stores open on Black Friday?

Best Buy Black Friday deals aren't only available online, and although we're seeing a growing trend of shoppers staying at home, brick-and-mortar stores are still worth visiting if you have the time or inclination.

Stores typically open 5am on Black Friday, although you'll want to definitely check in with Best Buy's local store index (opens in new tab) closer to the date to confirm when your nearest store will be opening. Here's a quick roundup of the expected opening times over the Black Friday period at Best Buy:

  • Black Friday, Nov 25: 5am - 10pm
  • Saturday, Nov 26: 9am - 10pm
  • Sunday, Nov 27: 10am - 8pm

Best Buy Black Friday deals: last year's top offers

Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones: $349.99 $169.99 at Best Buy
Save $180 - This is a cheapest-ever price from Best Buy here, and at better than half price, this deal is unmissable if you're looking for a pair of Beats cans. The Studio3s aren't quite up there with audiophile kit in terms of sound, but with excellent wireless performance good overall audio and excellent battery life, they're well worth considering. Available in both Black and Two-Tone.

Image

Google Nest Mini (2nd Generation): $49.99 $24.99 at Best Buy
Save $25 - Google's must-have home assistant speaker is a great combination of affordability and ability. The speaker is quite capable, and although you won't be hosting any parties with it, it's great for watching videos, listening to tunes when you're washing up, or as a backup in the bedroom. At this price, it's a steal.

Image

Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera Security Bundle: $599.99 $399.99 at Best Buy
Save $200 - Arlo produces some of the very best home camera systems on the market, and this bundle nets you about $800 worth of kit for less than $400. You'll get 3 2K cameras with anti-theft mounts, 4 rechargeable batteries and a charger, plus a security yard sign. Arlo's usually a little more expensive than other brands, but this deal makes it very competitive.

Image

Philips One by Sonicare Battery Toothbrush: $24.99 $14.99 at Best Buy
Save $10 - It's not going to replace your all-singing, all-dancing toothbrush that delivers detailed brushing reports to an app, but the Philips One doesn't cost $200, either. Powered by a AAA battery which lasts for 3 months, it's the perfect travel companion that'll slip into just about any bag with ease. And at $15, it's not the end of the world if you lose it, either.

Image

Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Headphones: $349.99 $248 at Best Buy
Save $101 - Hands-down the best headphones on the market, these XM4s deliver class-leading noise cancellation, audio upscaling, superior comfort and a sleek design. While they're certainly not cheap, this is the best price we've ever seen on these cans, so they're definitely worth considering.

Image

JBL TUNE125TWS True Wireless in-ear Headphones: $99.99 $49.99 at Best Buy
Save $50 - If you're in the market for a pair of wireless earbuds that won't break the bank, this set from JBL is a great choice. They're well-reviewed on-site (much better than their more expensive cousins) and with 25 hours of charge plus the ability to use either side independently, they'll do just about everything you need.

Image

Apple AirPods Pro with charging case: $249.99 $189.99 at Best Buy
Save $60 - Matching the lowest price we've ever seen on Apple's top of the range in-ear earphones, this is an excellent deal. With 4.5/5 stars in our review, one of our few concerns was the high price - and this deal from Best Buy addresses that. What's more, you'll also get 6 months of Apple Music for free.

Image

TCL 75-inch Class 4 Series LED 4K TV: $899.99 $699.99 at Best Buy
Save $200 – This 75-inch TCL TV is down to $699.99 at Best Buy, which is an absolute steal. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but it's well-reviewed on-site and, frankly, it's massive. You'll get 4K, HDR and Dolby Digital+, alongside a voice remote and Chromecast to stream Netflix and more.

Image

Bella Pro Series 8-qt. Digital Air Fryer: $129.99 $49.99 at Best Buy
Save $80 - This huge reduction is one of the best deals we've seen so far, and if you're looking to transform how you prepare food for your and your family, an air fryer is the perfect tool. With 4.7/5 stars from user reviews, this Bella Pro delivers the goods, and at this price we can see it cooking up a storm and selling out fast.

Image

Microsoft Surface Pro 7 12.3": $1,199.99 $799.99 at Best Buy
Save $400 - The Surface Pro 7 isn't a cheap piece of kit, but with a massive $400 knocked off it starts to look a little more attainable. Although it has now been superseded by the Pro 8, the 7 is still hugely powerful and puts up a good fight against similarly priced laptops. Unfortunately you'll have to buy the keyboard cover separately, but that's just how Microsoft does its thing.

Image

Philips Hue White and Color Lightstrip Plus 2M Starter Kit: $109.99 $68.99 at Best Buy
Save $41 – This Philips Hue set has dropped even further, and at less than $70 this bundle is very tempting. Perfect for adding ambience behind your TV, these are some of the best smart lights on the market.

Image

Insignia 55-inch F50 Series QLED TV: $649.99 $399.99 at Best Buy
Save $250 – Another top pick that's dropped further and is now cheaper than it's ever been, this TV is the sweet spot between too small and dwarfingly huge – and it even utilizes Samsung's QLED tech, and offers Dolby Vision and DTS Virtual-X Sound support on a budget. Basically, there aren't many QLED TVs out there that could offer this sort of value for money.

Image

Jabra Elite Active 75t Noise Cancelling Earphones: $179.99 $99.99 at Best Buy
Save $60 - Having made a name for itself as a premium-but-affordable maker of earphones, the Jabra Elite Active 75t bridges the gap between bargain beaters and seriously expensive audiophile kit. While we found the sound signature a little bass-heavy in our review, for lovers of EDM these could be a stellar purchase.

Image

Sony WH-CH710N Noise Cancelling Headphones: $179.99 $78 at Best Buy
Save $101 - The WH-CH710N can't quite match up to the XM4s, but for less than $80 they pack a serious punch. At full price we said they delivered plenty of features for the cost, and now at the cheapest price we've ever seen them (by far!) they're certainly worth checking out for your everyday pair of cans.

Image

JLab GO Air POP Wireless Earphones: $19.99 $12.99 at Best Buy
Save $7 - If you're after a cheap but very usable pair of earbuds, the GO Air POPs from JLab should fit the bill. While they're not going to rival those costing $100+, as a spare pair or for listening to podcasts as you go about your daily tasks, they really can't be beaten.

Image

Apple AirPods Max: $549 $479 at Best Buy
Save $70 – It's not quite the lowest price we've ever seen (that was $449 earlier this month) but this is still a solid price cut on Apple's premium AirPods Max headphones. All color options are available so you can pick up a pair of the wireless, noise-cancelling, high-fidelity audio cans to suit your style.
