When is Cyber Monday 2023 in the UK?

Cyber Monday falls on 27 November this year. The sale comes after Black Friday, which takes place the day after American Thanksgiving on 24 November,

Originally focused on online shopping (back when it was a novelty), Cyber Monday has since merged with Black Friday to form one giant sale spanning the entire weekend. Many retailers still treat them as two distinct events though, with unique deals for each.

When will the best Cyber Monday tech deals start in 2023?

Cyber Monday deals start on 27 November, picking up the baton from the Black Friday sale, which runs from Friday until Sunday.

Unlike Black Friday, when retailers sometimes start dropping discounts days ahead of the actual event, Cyber Monday deals start sharp on Monday and can hang around for a few days after the sale officially ends.

What were the best Cyber Monday tech deals from last year?

Last year’s Cyber Monday sale saw the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones (was £349, now £315, Amazon.co.uk) come all the way down to £299.

Amazon’s range of Fire tablets also got discounted, including the Fire HD 10 (was £159.99, now £129.99, Amazon.co.uk).

When is Black Friday 2023 in the UK?

Black Friday falls on 24 November this year. The sales event always takes place the day after American Thanksgiving and is followed shortly after by Cyber Monday.
