Black Friday Deals Ireland 2026: Dates, Shops and Rights

Black Friday 2026 in Ireland at a glance

Black Friday deals in Ireland are already running at several Irish shops in November 2026, weeks before Black Friday itself on Friday 27 November. This guide lists what each shop has published on its own site, with the date we read it, and explains the rules that protect you when you buy in a sale. Prices are in euro and the rules are Irish and EU law, as the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) sets them out.

Black Friday is always the day after American Thanksgiving, so the date moves each year. In 2026 it is a day earlier than in 2025, when it fell on 28 November.

Which Irish shops have started

Most results for this search are single shops promoting their own sale. This table puts them side by side. It quotes only what each shop's Black Friday page said when we read it on 1 November 2026.

Two points stand out. First, for the electrical shops Black Friday is a month, not a day: ElectroCity and Heavins both started on or before 1 November. Second, "some deals on the day only" (McElhinneys) means the early sale and the Friday are not always the same offers, so a price you see on 10 November may not be the price on 27 November, in either direction. We do not copy offers for Harvey Norman or Currys Ireland from other websites; we will add them if we can read their own pages. For how the UK chain runs its price guarantee, see our Currys Black Friday guide, which covers the UK store.

Black Friday TV and tech deals in Ireland

TVs are the category most Irish shoppers search for in November. These prices were on Heavins' Black Friday TV page when we read it on 1 November 2026. They are a snapshot: shops change prices through the month.

Before you buy a TV or any tech in the sales, a few checks help:

• Compare by model number. The same screen size comes in many versions. A saving only means something against the same model code at another shop.
• Check the model year. Shops often list the year, as Heavins does for the Samsung above. An older model at a lower price can be a fair buy, but compare it with the current one.
• Add delivery. ElectroCity, for example, gives free delivery on small items over €299 and says large items such as washing machines take 3 to 5 working days. Delivery charges for big TVs and appliances vary by shop, so check them at checkout.
• Know the warranty. On top of any maker's warranty, EU law gives you a legal guarantee of at least two years from delivery, as explained below.

Our Black Friday TV deals guide explains screen types and what to compare, though its store prices are for the US.

Checked deals from our database

We list a store's offer here only when we have matched it on the store's own site. On 1 November BestHeating Ireland showed a Black Friday sale with up to 40% off selected heating, plus an extra 10% off orders over €500 with the code SAVE500. Neither offer showed an end date, so check the basket before you pay.

Our Currys Ireland page lists the offers we track for that store, and every Black Friday offer we track from any country is on our Black Friday deals page.

Is the discount real? The 30-day rule

Ireland has a clear rule on "was" prices. The CCPC says that when a business sells goods at a sale price, it must show the prior price, and the prior price should be the lowest price the goods were on sale for in the 30 days before the sale started. Its own example: if a laptop is advertised as "was €700, now €500", it must not have been available for less than €700 in the 30 days before the sale.

That rule protects you from an inflated "was" price, but it does not tell you whether the sale price is the lowest in Ireland. Two habits help:

• Note the price of anything you want now, in early November, and compare it on Black Friday.
• Compare the same model at two or three Irish shops before you buy.

The 30-day rule comes from EU law, so shops in other EU countries follow it too; our Black Week guide explains how it works in Germany. If you think a shop is breaking the pricing rules during a sale, the CCPC asks you to report it on ccpc.ie. Our guide Are Black Friday deals real? has more ways to read a discount.

Your rights on Black Friday buys

The CCPC's guidance on shopping in the sales starts with one line worth remembering: you have the same consumer rights in a sale as when you buy at full price. In practice:

• Faulty items: a shop cannot refuse a refund or exchange for a faulty item because it was bought in a sale. If a fault appears within 30 days of buying, you can cancel and get a full refund, for the price you paid, not the current sale price. If you knowingly bought an item with a flaw, such as a jumper reduced because of a tear, you cannot return it later for that flaw.
• Changing your mind in a shop: you have no automatic right to a refund or exchange. Each shop decides, and it may use a different returns policy during sales. Check the policy before you pay.
• Buying online: you have a 14-day cooling-off period from the day you receive the goods, sale or not. Tell the business within those 14 days, then return the goods within another 14 days. The business must refund you within 14 days of being told, using the same payment method unless you agree otherwise.
• What the cooling-off period does not cover: personalised or made-to-order items, goods that cannot be returned for health or hygiene reasons, and bookings for a set date such as flights, hotels, car rental or events.
• The legal guarantee: EU law gives a minimum two-year guarantee from delivery for goods bought from an EU business.

If a problem is not sorted out, the CCPC suggests contacting the business first, then a written complaint, a chargeback through your bank if you paid by card, and the small claims procedure for claims of €2,000 or less. Its consumer helpline is +353 (0)1 402 5555.

Buying from UK websites

Many Irish shoppers buy from UK websites in November. Since the UK left the EU, a business based in Great Britain counts as a business outside the EU for these rules. The CCPC says that when you buy from a business outside the EU, you have fewer consumer protections than when you buy within the EU, Iceland or Norway, and you cannot use the small claims process against it. You may also have to pay VAT, customs duty and processing fees when the parcel arrives.

The CCPC also warns that a website ending in .ie, or prices shown in euro, do not prove a business is based in Ireland. Check the address in the terms and conditions or the contact page before you buy, and check whether the price includes Irish VAT and duties. Our UK Black Friday guide covers the UK shops and UK rules.

Cyber Monday in Ireland

Cyber Monday 2026 is Monday 30 November. The Irish shops we read treat it as the close of the Black Friday weekend rather than a separate sale: ElectroCity says its deals run through the month and finish with Cyber Monday, and Heavins describes the Monday as "the last call rather than a fresh start". Your rights are the same that day, including the 14-day cooling-off period for online buys. Cyber Monday offers we track are on our Cyber Monday deals page.

How we check this page

We read each Irish shop's own Black Friday page, the CCPC's pages on shopping in the sales, buying online and buying outside the EU, and the EU's Your Europe page on guarantees, all on 1 November 2026. Where a shop's site blocked our tools, we say so and leave its offers out. We do not test products, so this guide has no ratings.

We will read the shops' pages again before 20 November and 24 November and update the tables. For start dates at the big US stores, see when Black Friday 2026 starts, and our other guides are in the Black Friday hub. This guide is written by the SavingArena Editorial Team.
