About Cyber Monday
Cyber Monday falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving — November 30 in 2026 — and the countdown above tracks the time until the year's biggest US online shopping day. The name dates to 2005, when shoppers returned to office internet connections after the holiday weekend to keep buying.
While Black Friday keeps the doorbusters and big-ticket TVs, Cyber Monday traditionally owns electronics, fashion and travel deals online — with US online sales exceeding $13 billion in recent years. Realistically the two have merged into one five-day "Cyber Week," but the Monday still peaks.
