Virgin Media Black Friday 2026: Dates, Deals and Real Prices

Virgin Media Black Friday 2026 at a glance

Virgin Media's Black Friday deals for 2026 are live and end on Sunday 6 December. Broadband on its own starts from £21.99 a month and TV and broadband bundles from £31.99 a month, with no setup fee and up to £300 switching credit if you leave another provider. This year the sale is built on what Virgin Media calls its "lowest ever prices on selected bundles", not the three free months it offered in 2025.

The sale was live by 5 November 2026, the date of Virgin Media's own blog post saying the deals "have officially landed"; the exact launch day is not stated. We read Virgin Media's sale page, its small print and its price-change help page on 6 November 2026. Prices are for new customers and depend on your postcode, so treat every figure here as a "from" price.

Black Friday is Friday 27 November 2026 in the UK too. For other UK retailers' plans, see our Black Friday UK guide, and for every live offer, our Black Friday deals page.

When do Virgin Media Black Friday deals start and end?

They have already started. Virgin Media's FAQ says its Black Friday broadband deals "will be available for a little over four weeks", and that "Sunday 6 December 2026 will be your last chance". So the sale runs through Black Friday (27 November) and Cyber Monday (30 November) and closes on the Sunday after. The small print says the same: "Offer ends 6th December."

Last year's timing was similar. Virgin Media O2 announced its 2025 deals on 6 November 2025, and they ran until 10 December 2025. There is no published reason to expect a lower price on Black Friday itself: Virgin Media's own FAQ says "You're already seeing our best Black Friday broadband deals for 2026".

Virgin Media Black Friday broadband deals

The sale page shows three broadband-only deals: M250, M500 and Gig1 Fibre Broadband. It does not print the prices on the deal cards; you enter your postcode to see them. The prices below come from the page's own small print, where each is "currently" the 24-month price for new customers. The small print lists every product on the page, and notes that "Discounted pricing may be offered in selected locations", so your quote can differ.

All three are 24-month contracts, and Virgin Media describes M250 as fast enough for 15 devices at the same time. The deal cards for M500 and Gig1 say Netflix Standard with ads is included at no extra cost; check that it appears in your basket. If you want a landline, the small print shows broadband and phone packages too, for example M500 with Weekend Chatter at £27.99 a month (then £41.39), a price that includes £19 a month of line rental.

What you really pay over 24 months

The monthly price is not fixed for the whole contract. Virgin Media's help page says: "If you join Virgin Media today, your monthly price will increase by a fixed £4 each April", and the rise applies both to a discounted price and to the price after the offer ends. Its own example: a £26 discounted price goes up to £30 in the first April.

Here is our own sum for the M250 deal, assuming the contract starts in December 2026 and you pay £21.99 from the first month. It ignores part-month billing (Virgin Media's first bill covers the days of the month you join plus a month in advance).

That is an average of about £26.66 a month, not £21.99. From month 25, the standard price of £34.49 would also have had the two April rises added, which on Virgin Media's worked example makes it about £42.49 a month, unless you renew or switch. The same method on the £31.99 Entertainment bundle gives about £879.76 over 24 months. The small print also says "Prices and terms subject to change during contract", so treat these as estimates from today's terms, not a promise.

Virgin Media Black Friday TV and broadband bundles

Virgin Media says there are three TV and broadband deals in the sale, each with £0 installation, up to £300 switching credit and Netflix Standard with ads "on the house". All three use M500 Fibre Broadband and Mega TV.

Prices are from the small print on 6 November and vary by postcode; the £4 April rise applies to these too. Two Netflix terms are worth knowing. If you already pay Netflix with the same email address, that subscription pauses and is billed through Virgin Media instead. And if you choose not to activate Netflix, the bundle price does not go down. Downgrading a service later can cost you the bundle discount or the included Netflix.

The small print also lists "Volt" versions of these bundles with Gig1 broadband, for example Entertainment Volt at £37.99 a month (then £51.99). Volt is explained in the mobile section below.

Switching credit: how it works

Some coverage calls the switching credit free money. It is not cash. Virgin Media's terms on the sale page say you get account credit "to the value of your early termination fees, up to £300 (whichever is lower)". In practice:

• Only switching new customers qualify, and only if your old provider charged you an early termination fee that you have paid in full.
• Claim within 60 days of your Virgin Media service starting, by sending a copy of your old provider's final bill. That bill should not be older than 30 days from the date you ordered with Virgin Media.
• Timing: no credit is applied in your first 14 days of service, and the offer is void if you cancel within 14 days of the service starting or before the credit is applied. Virgin Media's FAQ says credits reach your account within 28 days of a successful claim.
• Not eligible: student broadband contracts, 30-day rolling contracts and Essential broadband customers. There is no cash alternative.

One thing to note: when we opened the full switching credit terms that the sale page links to, on 6 November 2026, the page still showed last year's version (up to £200, for orders from 6 November to 10 December 2025). The summary on the sale page says up to £300. Ask Virgin Media to confirm the cap in writing when you order.

Phone and SIM deals with O2 (Volt)

Virgin Media now sells mobile plans from O2, its partner in the Virgin Media O2 joint venture, rather than new Virgin Mobile plans; the Virgin Mobile menu item is now "Support and information for current customers". When you take broadband from Virgin Media and a pay monthly plan from O2, you get "Volt" benefits. Virgin Media's terms list them as a broadband speed boost to the next available level (up to 1Gbps), its WiFi coverage guarantee with WiFi Max at no extra cost, and double the data on eligible O2 pay monthly SIMs in the account holder's name, if those plans do not already have unlimited data.

The sale page points to separate O2 Black Friday deals: "trade-in savings, 12 months of O2 Satellite and a great low price on Unlimited Plus Plan". We tried to read O2's Black Friday page on 6 November, but it sent us to a queue page, so we do not quote O2 prices here. Two terms from Virgin Media's own page apply either way: Virgin Media and O2 bundles have separate contracts and separate bills, and Volt benefits can take up to 14 days to apply after you order.

Do existing Virgin Media customers get Black Friday deals?

Yes, but not the prices above, which are for new customers only. Virgin Media's FAQ tells existing customers to sign in to My Virgin Media "to see what exclusive Black Friday deals await you", and says they can get its "lowest online prices of the year on selected deals" and Netflix packages if eligible. What you see depends on your account, so compare your offer with your current price and check whether taking it starts a new minimum term. Under the April price rule, a new contract taken now would get the fixed £4 yearly rise.

Virgin Media Cyber Monday 2026

Cyber Monday is 30 November 2026. Virgin Media's page does not mention a separate Cyber Monday sale: its FAQ says shoppers are "already seeing our best Black Friday broadband deals for 2026" and that the sale "must end Sunday 6 December". So the same deals continue through Cyber Monday and for six more days. For offers from other brands that day, see our Cyber Monday deals page.

Changing your mind: the 14-day rule

Broadband and TV are service contracts. Under UK law, the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (regulation 30), the cancellation period for a service contract "ends at the end of 14 days after the day on which the contract is entered into". So if you order on Black Friday and change your mind, act quickly and in writing.

Two Virgin Media rules sit beside that. Cancelling within 14 days of the service starting voids the switching credit. And after the cooling-off period, leaving during the 24-month minimum term may mean an early disconnection fee, including if you move to an address outside the Virgin Media network. Virgin Media's help page also says the April price rise does not give you a right to cancel without that fee. If you need to return equipment, Virgin Media can charge for kit that is not sent back.

How we check this page

Every price and term above comes from Virgin Media's own pages, read on 6 November 2026 from our research server: the Black Friday deals page and its legal small print, Virgin Media's blog post of 5 November 2026, its annual price change help page and its switching credit terms page. The 2025 column comes from the Virgin Media O2 press release of 6 November 2025. The UK cancellation rule is from legislation.gov.uk. O2's Black Friday page sent us to a queue, and we did not try to get around it. We did not test any service, and the 24-month totals are our own arithmetic. Prices change by postcode and over time, so the price in your basket is the one that counts. We will re-read Virgin Media's pages weekly until 6 December.
