Black Friday 2026 is Friday, November 27, but NordVPN is already running up to 78% off plus 3 extra months on 2-year plans (to November 24), then an exclusive week from November 24 to December 1 and its own Cyber Monday campaign from December 2 to 9. Proton’s sale runs October 26 to November 30 (Proton VPN Plus 75% off the 24-month plan). Most other brands have announced nothing yet, so we show last year’s deal with its date.

GrokUpdated October 23, 2026. Prices on this page were read on official pages that day from a US server, so they are in dollars, or they come from the vendors’ partner emails dated October 21. When a brand has announced nothing, we write “No 2026 deal announced as of October 22, 2026” and show last year’s deal with its source. A past deal tells you about timing and size. It is not a promise.
This is the hub for the whole season: VPN and security deals first, then AI, video and writing tools. If you only want the Monday questions (the date, what changes compared with Friday, what runs on November 30), the Cyber Monday 2026 guide covers them in one place.
When Black Friday 2026 falls, and what starts before it
Black Friday is the day after US Thanksgiving, the fourth Thursday of November. Thanksgiving 2026 is on November 26, which makes Black Friday Friday, November 27 and Cyber Monday Monday, November 30. For software and subscriptions, the dates that matter are the vendors’ own, and several of the sales below opened in October and end before or after those two days.
| Date (2026) | What happens | Status |
|---|---|---|
| October 20 to 30 | CapCut “Black Friday sale” (PC only) | Live, ends October 30 |
| October 21 | NordVPN and NordPass open their Black Friday sales | Live |
| Monday, October 26 | Proton’s Black Friday sale begins (runs to November 30) | Announced |
| November 24 | NordVPN’s exclusive week begins; the first NordVPN phase ends | Announced |
| Thursday, November 26 | US Thanksgiving | Fixed date |
| Friday, November 27 | Black Friday | Fixed date |
| Monday, November 30 | Cyber Monday; last day of Proton’s Black Friday sale | Fixed date |
| December 1 | NordVPN’s exclusive week ends | Announced |
| December 2 to 9 | NordVPN’s own Cyber Monday campaign | Announced, details not published |
| December 9 | NordPass sale ends | Announced |
| December 10 | NordVPN back to regular prices | Announced |
One detail trips people up: NordVPN’s “Black Friday deal” ends on November 24, three days before Black Friday. The Friday itself sits inside the exclusive week that follows. Nobody has to wait for the 27th to get a Black Friday price from NordVPN.

Black Friday deal, now to November 24
NordVPN: up to 78% off plus 3 extra months
On the US pricing page on October 23, 2026, the 2-year Basic plan was $3.49 a month and Complete was $3.99 a month, both with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

NordVPN Black Friday 2026: three phases, three sets of dates
NordVPN’s partner team announced a three-step calendar on October 21, 2026, and the homepage banner (“Black Friday: Get 78% off + 3 extra months”) was live when we checked on October 23. Each phase has its own logic, so we take them one at a time. We will update this section on November 24 and again on December 2, when the next phases open.
Black Friday deal (now to November 24)
Until November 24, NordVPN’s 2-year plans carry up to 78% off, with 3 extra months added to the term. Here is what the US pricing page showed on October 23, 2026:
| Plan (2 years) | Per month | Discount shown | First 27 months | List price | Renews at |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $3.49 | 69% | $94.23 | $312.93 | $139.08 a year |
| Complete | $3.99 | 78% | $107.73 | $493.83 | $219.48 a year |
| Prime | $6.99 | 71% | $188.73 | $666.63 | $296.28 a year |
The 78% headline belongs to the Complete plan, not the cheapest one. Basic is 69% off, Prime is 71% off. “Up to 78%” is accurate, but “from $3.49 a month” is the real entry price. The gap between Basic and Complete is only $0.50 a month, or $13.50 over the 27 months, and Complete adds NordVPN’s next-gen antivirus, bank transaction monitoring, identity monitoring, call and message protection, the NordPass password manager and 1 TB of cloud storage. Basic is the VPN alone.
The monthly figure is spread over the whole first term, which is 24 months plus the 3 extra months. NordVPN shows the total for those 27 months, so check on the checkout page how the first payment is billed. The part to read twice is the renewal: Basic renews at $139.08 a year, about $11.59 a month, which is more than three times the intro price. Our NordVPN price breakdown goes through plans and renewals in detail, and the NordVPN review covers whether the service is worth paying for at all. The plans allow 10 devices at once.
Black Friday week (November 24 to December 1)
NordVPN calls this the exclusive week, and it contains both Black Friday (November 27) and Cyber Monday (November 30). According to the partner email of October 21, the Basic 2-year plan drops to its lowest price of the year, announced at €2.99 a month. That is a euro figure. NordVPN has not announced the dollar price, and we will not guess it. This section gets the real number on November 24.
For scale, the same Basic plan is €3.49 a month on the euro version of the pricing page today, so the announced drop is €0.50 a month, roughly 14%. If the 27-month structure carries over, that would be about €13.50 over the first term. We cannot confirm the structure yet, so treat that as arithmetic, not as the offer.
The announcement names the Basic plan only. Nothing says Complete or Prime get cheaper that week, so if you want the antivirus and identity features, the live Complete price of $3.99 a month may turn out to be the one to take. We will say so on November 24 if that changes. Because both Black Friday and Cyber Monday fall inside these eight days, the price should not change between the two.
Wait or buy now? If you need a VPN this month (travel, public Wi-Fi, a streaming trip abroad), buy the live deal. It has the 30-day money-back guarantee and the saving from waiting is small on Basic. If you can wait, the exclusive week is the lowest Basic price announced so far.
Cyber Monday (December 2 to 9)
NordVPN’s own Cyber Monday campaign runs from December 2 to December 9, which is two days after the real Cyber Monday on November 30. As of October 23, 2026, no price or plan has been published for it. Do not assume it will beat the exclusive week: NordVPN presents the week of November 24 as its lowest price of the year, and the December campaign may simply extend a similar offer. On December 10, prices return to normal.
What actually changes on the Monday, and how Cyber Monday differs from Black Friday, has its own page: when Cyber Monday 2026 is and which deals run that day.
NordPass: the sale that runs through December 9
NordPass has the longest window of any deal here: October 21 to December 9, 2026. On nordpass.com/pricing, read from a US server on October 23, the Premium 2-year plan was $1.39 a month (53% off, plus 3 extra months), and the Family plan was $2.49 a month (58% off, plus 3 extra months).
| Plan | Term | Discount | Price per month | First 27 months | List price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium (1 user account) | 2 years | 53% | $1.39 | $37.53 | $80.73 |
| Family (6 user accounts) | 2 years | 58% | $2.49 | $67.23 | $161.73 |
| Premium | 1 year | 33% | from €1.99 | Not read | Not read |
| Family | 1 year | 38% | from €3.69 | Not read | Not read |
NordPass also has a free plan (autosave, autofill and secure storage, without multi-device access, password health or the breach scanner), which starts with a 30-day Premium trial. Premium adds multi-device access, password health, the data breach scanner and file attachments, and every plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee. Our NordPass review explains what you give up on the free tier.
Because the sale lasts until December 9, there is no reason to rush for Black Friday itself. One thing worth comparing: NordVPN’s Complete plan already includes the NordPass password manager. If you want both a VPN and a password manager, price Complete against buying the two separately, and look at the renewal prices of each, not only the first term.
Other VPNs and security tools: who has announced what
Surfshark is the only direct NordVPN competitor with a Black Friday page live today, since Proton’s sale starts on October 26. The page carries a “Black Friday deal ends in” countdown, and its price data lists $2.49 (USD). The page’s title and description, however, still describe last year’s offer (1.99 EUR a month with 4 extra months), so we cannot tell you the 2026 plan terms. Check them on Surfshark’s official Black Friday page before paying.
Proton has announced its Black Friday 2026 officially, in an email from its affiliate team dated October 15, 2026. It runs Monday, October 26 to Monday, November 30, 2026, so it ends on Cyber Monday itself. Proton VPN Plus gets 75% off the 24-month plan. Proton Mail Plus, Proton Drive Plus and Proton Pass Plus get 60% off the 12-month plan, and Proton Unlimited gets 50% off the 12-month plan. Proton has published no dollar or euro prices, so we print none: we will add them once the offer goes live on October 26. Our Proton VPN review has the current plans and prices. PureVPN published a Black Friday page on October 19, 2026 with a headline of 88% off at $2.16 a month, but the plan cards on the same page show different percentages and prices. That mismatch is why we do not quote a PureVPN plan price.
| Service | Status as of October 22, 2026 | Last year’s reference (source, date) |
|---|---|---|
| CyberGhost | No 2026 deal announced, no Black Friday page | 83% off a 2-year plan plus 4 months, about €2.03 a month, to November 30, 2025 (per DegroupTest, not confirmed by CyberGhost) |

A discount only helps if the product fits. If you are still deciding between services, how to choose a VPN compares NordVPN, Surfshark, ExpressVPN and Proton on the points that matter, so you can set your target price before the sales open.
AI, video and audio tools: one live sale, the rest unannounced
Only CapCut has a 2026 sale up, and it ends soon: its “Black Friday sale” runs October 20 to 30, 2026, on PC only, with up to 60% off the first year of Pro on annual billing and 40% off Ultra. We read that on CapCut’s French-region page on October 22, so check the page for your own country before counting on it. It will be over before Black Friday starts.
Everything else is quiet. Deevid AI’s pricing page already contains a ready-made “BLACK FRIDAY: UP TO {0}% OFF!” banner string that is not switched on, which suggests a sale is planned, but it announces no date or number. Vendors in this category tend to open between mid-November and early December, so a first look on November 18 and another on the 24th is a sensible schedule. If you are still choosing a tool, our best AI video generators list gives regular prices to measure any sale against, and the ElevenLabs review does the same for voice.

Writing, SEO and email tools: last year’s dates
The marketing software crowd is the most predictable, because several brands publish dated Black Friday pages every year. Nothing is announced for 2026, but the 2025 and 2024 dates below show how long these offers usually last. None of them was a one-day sale. Brevo’s ran 13 days, GetResponse’s 15, Filmora’s 25.
| Tool | Status as of October 22, 2026 | Last reference (source, date) |
|---|---|---|
| Semrush | No 2026 deal announced | 2024: one month of Pro plus a one-hour SEO consultation, November 11 to December 3, 2024 (Semrush’s own page); 2023: 30% off 12 months |

| Jasper, Writesonic, Leadpages | No 2026 deal announced | No reliable dated reference |
How to tell a real Black Friday deal from a bad one
A big percentage is the least useful number on a Black Friday banner, because the brand picks the list price it is measured against. These checks take five minutes and catch most bad deals:
- Total cost for the term. Multiply the monthly price by the length of the term. A “$3.49 a month” VPN on a 27-month term is a $94.23 decision, not a $3.49 one.
- The renewal price. Intro prices end. NordVPN Basic renews at $139.08 a year, and every VPN and password manager has its own renewal rate. Write down the date and the amount before you pay.
- The commitment. Two-year plans carry the biggest discounts. For a trip or a short project, a one-month plan or a free option can be cheaper overall.
- The refund window. Both NordVPN and NordPass show 30 days. Read what it covers, usually new subscriptions rather than renewals.
- The source. Open the offer from the brand’s own site. Discount codes pasted from random sites are often fake, and Black Friday is peak season for phishing emails that imitate real brands.
- The countdown. A timer that resets every day is decoration. The dates in the vendor’s announcement are the real deadline.
One more point for security shoppers: a deal on a VPN or password manager is the one purchase where a fake page costs you more than the price, since you are handing over payment details to a security brand. Type the address yourself rather than following an email link.
Black Friday or Cyber Monday: which day should you buy on?
The classic rule says Black Friday is for physical goods and Cyber Monday for software. The 2025 dates above show why that rule is thin for subscriptions: software sales open weeks before either day and run past it. For NordVPN, the exclusive week covers both days at one price. For NordPass, the sale spans both and then some. For everything else, the useful question is not which day but whether the price is at or below the figure you decided on in advance.
Pick a target price for each tool, note its regular price today, and buy the first time a verified offer reaches your target. Waiting for a hypothetical better deal is how people end up paying the full price in December.
Our recommendation
We are an independent site, and some links on this page are affiliate links that can pay us a commission at no cost to you. That has not changed what we say about the deals.
For a VPN, if you need protection now, take the live NordVPN deal and use the 30-day guarantee to test it. If you can wait, mark November 24 for the Basic plan at its announced lowest price, and keep Complete in mind if you want the extras. If you prefer Proton, its sale opens on October 26 and ends on Cyber Monday, so wait for the prices that day. For a password manager, the NordPass sale lasts until December 9, so there is no rush. For all other brands, wait for an official announcement and compare it with your target. We plan to re-check on or around November 18, November 24 and December 2.

Frequently asked questions
What day is Black Friday 2026?
Black Friday 2026 is Friday, November 27, the day after US Thanksgiving on November 26. Cyber Monday follows on Monday, November 30. Many sales start earlier: NordVPN and NordPass opened theirs on October 21, 2026.
When should I start looking for Black Friday deals?
For VPN and password manager deals, now: NordVPN and NordPass are already live. For AI, video and marketing software, last year’s dates suggest first offers appear from mid-November (Filmora opened November 14, 2025, Brevo November 19, GetResponse November 20), so check again around November 18 and 24.
How long will Black Friday continue?
There is no official length, because each brand sets its own dates. NordVPN’s Black Friday deal runs to November 24, its exclusive week to December 1, and its Cyber Monday campaign to December 9, with regular prices back on December 10. The NordPass sale also ends December 9.
Is it cheaper to buy on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
For the deals announced so far, neither day is cheaper. NordVPN’s exclusive week from November 24 to December 1 contains both, so the price should be the same on the Friday and the Monday. Compare against your own target price instead of the calendar.
How much is NordVPN in the USA?
On October 23, 2026, the 2-year plans were $3.49 a month for Basic, $3.99 for Complete and $6.99 for Prime, each with 3 extra months, so the first term is 27 months. Renewals are $139.08, $219.48 and $296.28 a year. Sales tax may apply, and prices change when the next phase starts.
Is there a way to get 3 months free of NordVPN?
During the current sale, yes: the 2-year plans include 3 extra months on top of the 24, and no code is needed. It is built into the plan price on the pricing page, so ignore sites that tell you to type something in at checkout to get it.
Does Proton VPN have a Black Friday deal in 2026?
Yes, it has been announced. According to an official email from Proton’s affiliate team dated October 15, 2026, Proton’s Black Friday runs from Monday, October 26 to Monday, November 30, 2026, with 75% off the Proton VPN Plus 24-month plan. Proton Mail, Drive and Pass Plus are 60% off the 12-month plan, and Proton Unlimited is 50% off the 12-month plan. No prices have been published, and we will add them once the offer goes live on October 26.
Is there a NordPass Black Friday deal?
Yes. NordPass is running a sale from October 21 to December 9, 2026. On the US pricing page we read Premium at $1.39 a month and Family at $2.49 a month on 2-year plans, each with 3 extra months. One-year plans are 33% and 38% off, according to NordPass’s partner email.
Is it worth waiting for NordVPN’s exclusive week?
Only for the Basic plan, and only by a small margin: the announced €2.99 a month compares with €3.49 today in euros, about 14% less. The week names no change for Complete or Prime. If you need the VPN now, buying the live deal is reasonable.
