When Walmart Black Friday Event 1 Starts
Walmart's Early Black Friday event runs November 12–15, 2026, beginning online at 12:01 a.m. ET on November 12 and in stores at 6 a.m. local time that morning (Walmart's holiday event announcement). The early-access window below applies to select online-only deals, not the entire sale.
- Walmart+ early access: Select online hot Deal drops open to members at 12:01 a.m. ET on November 12, while supplies last (Walmart's access details).
- Remaining hot Deal drops: Any inventory left from those member-first drops opens to all customers at 12:01 a.m. ET on November 13 (Walmart's access details).
- In-store shopping: You do not need Walmart+ to shop the in-store event. Check your local store's hours and item availability before heading out.
The online times are Eastern Time, while the in-store opening is local time. Browse Walmart's Black Friday event page for online event information, and use the tables below as a guide to Nick's in-store finds.

Before You Shop
These prices reflect what Nick found locally during Event 1. Your store may have additional event items or a different selection, and popular products can sell out.
- Match the exact item: Check the set size, model, character, and variety, especially for LEGO, plush, cookware, and apparel.
- Check local stock: Use your selected store in the Walmart app to help plan, then confirm the item and price before checkout.
- Keep access windows straight: Walmart+ member-first access is for select online deal drops, not a membership requirement for the in-store event.
- Budget for tax: The prices and small bundle examples in this post exclude tax.
