When is Target's 2023 Black Friday sale?
The best way to predict what will happen for Black Friday is to look back. In 2022, Target kicked off the holiday shopping season with its "Deal Days" event from October 6th to 8th. Then, pre-Black Friday deals launched on October 9th and ran until November 20th, with new weekly offers.
The official Black Friday sale ran from November 20th to November 26th, with special deals for Thanksgiving weekend (Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Saturday).
We expect Target to follow a similar schedule in 2023. Amazon has already announced a Prime Day event in October, and Target's Deal Days typically overlap with Prime Day.
In 2023, Target will likely hold "Deal Days" again in early to mid-October. After that ends, we expect Target to launch new Black Friday deals weekly (starting Sundays) until November 19th. Last but not least, we anticipate Target's Black Friday sale to run from November 19th through November 25th, with special offers from November 23rd to 25th.

Does Target offer price matching?
Target is known for having one of the most generous Price Match Guarantees in retail. If the price drops on Target.com or at one of the listed competitors, you can get a price match within 14 days of purchasing an eligible item!
Target often announces a Holiday Price Guarantee to further refine its price matching policy. Last year, under this policy, you could price match any item purchased between October 6th and December 24th. If the same policy is in effect for the 2023 holiday shopping season, we'll share the latest details.
