If you were planning to wait until the very last Friday of November to buy a TV, laptop or home tech — you actually don’t have to. Big UK/EU retailers have already started discounting tech and home gear to spread demand, which means there are real offers you can grab right now. This isn’t a rumor; stores have opened the pages.
What’s happening
- Stores like John Lewis, Currys, Argos and others have opened early sales with money off TVs, appliances and entertainment gear.
- Black Friday in the UK this year is 28 November 2025, but many shops start a full week earlier — sometimes the 21st. So yes, what you’re seeing now is intentional.
- Consumer sites are already tracking these offers, which means inventory will move.
Why retailers do this
- To let people spread out costs (no single crazy weekend)
- To avoid out-of-stock drama on the last weekend
- To get attention before everyone else shouts “Black Friday”
That works in your favour because you can buy earlier and calmer.
What you can get right now
Exact SKUs change per store, but this is the pattern in November 2025:
- Money off 4K smart TVs (including big-brand models)
- Money off home/coffee machines
- Money off sound and entertainment gear
- Select discounts on laptops and tablets to clear 2025 inventory ahead of December
You can combine this with your own TV/laptop review posts and tell readers: “this model is currently on early BF price.”
How to shop it smart
- Check the original price — some “deals” are just normal prices with a tag.
- Compare across at least 2 UK/EU stores — many price-match quietly.
- If it’s a popular TV size (55–65″), don’t wait too long — those go first.
- If the discount is on entertainment or home tech you already wanted, November-early is fine. If it’s a random brand, wait a few days.
Why it’s trending now
Because the sales are early, people will search for them early — and they’ll search multiple times (first to check if it started, second to compare, third to buy). This is a good moment to surface deals alongside your TV/laptop reviews so visitors don’t have to leave your site to hunt.
Bottom line: early Black Friday 2025 in the UK/EU isn’t “coming soon” — it’s started. If you see a fair price on a TV, laptop or entertainment gear from a major retailer today, it’s okay to take it.
