What are Best Buy’s Thanksgiving hours?
Best Buy's official 2025 holiday release set the template: closed on Thanksgiving, then 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM on Black Friday. The company hasn't published its 2026 schedule yet, but nothing suggests a change — Thanksgiving closure is now the industry standard for electronics retail.
The detail deal-hunters should know: in 2025, Best Buy ran extended hours of 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM in the three days before Thanksgiving (November 24–26), effectively starting Black Friday deals early. If 2026 follows suit, the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving are prime shopping days — without the Friday crowds.
