Kmart Black Friday 2026: Start Time, OnePass and Deals

Kmart Black Friday 2026 at a glance

Kmart Black Friday 2026 opens at 8am AEDT on Thursday 26 November, when Kmart Australia's Black Friday offers go on sale. OnePass members can shop select products online the night before, from 8pm to midnight AEDT on Wednesday 25 November. Black Friday itself is Friday 27 November, and Kmart says its offers are only available while stocks last.

This guide covers Kmart Australia (kmart.com.au), with one section on Kmart New Zealand. Kmart in the United States is a separate business. The table holds what Kmart had published when we read its pages on 1 November 2026.

Many older pages about Kmart Black Friday date from 2008 to 2022 or describe the US store. Every date here comes from Kmart Australia's own Black Friday page. For other Australian retailers, see our guide to Black Friday in Australia.

When does Kmart Black Friday start?

Kmart's page says you can shop its Black Friday offers "from 8am AEDT on Thursday 26 November". That is a day before Black Friday itself, so the sale has been running for a full day by the time Friday arrives. OnePass members get a four-hour window on select products the evening before.

Kmart's page also promises an online and in-app preview of the offers before the sale opens. The preview date it prints falls on the wrong day of the week for 2026, so we have left it out rather than guess. We will add the preview date once Kmart corrects it or the preview opens.

Kmart suggests getting ready before the day: start a wishlist on kmart.com.au, sign in, and save your payment and delivery details in your account so checkout is quicker. It also asks shoppers to buy only through kmart.com.au or the official Kmart app, and to look for the secure checkout signs before paying.

Start times in your state

Kmart gives its times in AEDT, the summer time used in New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT and Tasmania. Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia do not use daylight saving, and South Australia runs half an hour behind. Here are the same moments in each zone:

These times apply to kmart.com.au and the app. Kmart does not say whether stores in other states start their Black Friday offers at 8am local time, and it had not posted store hours for 26 and 27 November, so check your store's hours on Kmart's store finder that week.

OnePass early access

Kmart's terms for the early window are short: "OnePass Members (Australia only) can enjoy early access to select Black Friday products online, commencing Wednesday 25 November 2026 from 8:00pm till midnight AEDT." The products can only be bought for Home Delivery or Click & Collect, and stock is limited. Kmart has not said which products are in the early window.

OnePass is a paid membership. Kmart's OnePass page lists a 30-day free trial, then A$4 a month or A$40 a year, and says you can cancel at any time. At Kmart, members get:

• free delivery on eligible items or orders, with no minimum spend;
• 5x Flybuys points in store and on Click & Collect;
• Express Click & Collect on available items, not marketplace items;
• 365-day change of mind returns on eligible items.

Two points are worth knowing before you sign up for the early window. First, a trial started on 25 November runs out around Christmas, after which the paid membership begins, so set a reminder if you do not want to keep it. Second, the 365-day returns are not the same as 365 days of refunds: Kmart's policy says returns after 60 days get an exchange voucher, and seasonal items such as Christmas products cannot be returned after 60 days.

How Kmart's online queue works

Kmart says it "may deploy a queuing system" on the day. If it does, shoppers who are on any Black Friday product page are placed in the queue 30 minutes before the range goes on sale, which is 7:30am AEDT on 26 November. When the sale starts, you are moved to a waiting room that shows an estimated wait time. When you reach the front, you can add products to your bag. If you are not back when your turn comes, your time slot expires and you go back into the queue.

A simple checklist for the morning:

• Sign in to your Kmart account the night before, with your address and payment details saved.
• Have your wishlist ready, so you are not searching while the clock runs.
• Open a Black Friday product page before 7:30am AEDT, or the local equivalent in the table above.
• Watch the estimated wait time and come back before it ends.

What will be on sale

Kmart says its Black Friday range has "over one hundred offers" and names these categories: toys; tech, electronics and gaming; appliances; sports and outdoor; beauty and cosmetics; and home and living. It also says online offers from other brands are coming soon. On 1 November Kmart had not listed any Black Friday product or price. We will add them here, with the date we read them, when Kmart's preview opens.

Toys, LEGO and Barbie

Toys are the first category Kmart names, but no toy, LEGO set or Barbie product had a Black Friday price on 1 November. Watch the purchase limit on each toy page, because Kmart says some products have one. For how toy discounts tend to work, see our guide to Black Friday toy deals, which is written for US stores but explains how to read a toy price.

Tech and gaming: Nintendo Switch and iPhone

Kmart lists tech, electronics and gaming among its Black Friday categories, but it had not named a console or phone offer by 1 November. Before you buy a phone in the sale, note that Kmart does not take mobile phones back for a change of mind unless the packaging is unopened. To compare a console price with another Australian store, see our JB Hi-Fi Black Friday guide. Our gaming deals and phone deals guides cover how console and phone discounts work.

Home: egg chairs, gaming chairs and appliances

Home and living and appliances are both on Kmart's category list, with no products named yet. Furniture has its own return rule: Kmart does not accept change of mind returns on furniture unless the packaging is unopened and nothing has been used or assembled. White goods and other big and bulky items carry a collection fee if you return them for a change of mind, so measure the space before you buy.

Purchase limits, lay-by and stock

Kmart's Black Friday terms set three limits:

• Purchase limits: "some products may be subject to purchase limits", and the limit is shown on each product page.
• No lay-by or holds: "Due to high demand, we are unable to hold or layby Black Friday products."
• While stocks last: Kmart warns that it has limited stock, and exchanges of Black Friday products depend on stock being available.

Returns and refunds on Kmart Black Friday buys

Kmart says its standard returns policy applies to all Black Friday products, and that you need your receipt for a change of mind return. Its change of mind policy, dated October 2025, sets the rules:

Australian law sits underneath this. Kmart says its policy is "in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law". Queensland's Office of Fair Trading explains that a business does not have to refund you if you simply change your mind, but you are always entitled to a refund, repair or replacement if a product does not meet a consumer guarantee, and the remedy depends on whether the problem is major or minor. It also says signs such as "no refunds on sale items" are unlawful, so a Black Friday price does not take away your rights on a faulty product. Those rights have no fixed expiry date, and you do not need the original packaging to claim them.

Kmart Cyber Monday 2026

Cyber Monday 2026 falls on Monday 30 November. Kmart had not announced a Cyber Monday sale by 1 November. We will add it here if Kmart does. Offers from other stores are on our Cyber Monday deals page, and Black Friday offers are on our Black Friday deals page.

Kmart New Zealand

Kmart New Zealand's Black Friday page uses the same wording with New Zealand time: you can shop the offers "from 8am NZDT on Thursday 26 November". Its preview date has the same problem as the Australian page, so we leave it out there too. Kmart describes OnePass early access as being for Australian members only.

How we check this page

Every date and rule above comes from Kmart's own pages, read from our server on 1 November 2026: the Black Friday pages on kmart.com.au and kmart.co.nz, the OnePass page, the returns policy and the change of mind returns policy, and Kmart's guide to Christmas shopping on Black Friday. The refund rights come from the Queensland Government's Office of Fair Trading pages. The time zone table is worked out from Kmart's AEDT times. Kmart's search and product pages did not open for our tools, so no product prices are quoted yet. We do not take dates from older articles, and we have not tested these products.

We will read Kmart's pages again in the week before the sale, on 25 November for the OnePass window and on 26 November for the launch.
