Black Friday UK 2018: Everything You Need to Know and How to Get the Best Deals


Share.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday will likely be the biggest shopping days of 2018. Here’s everything you need to know about them.

Welcome to IGN’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2018 page, your source for all the best deals in the UK. If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.

I’ll be updating this page with the best deals as soon as they come out, so make sure to bookmark this page and check back more than once. For a more comprehensive guide to the best Black Friday deals, check out Blackfriday.co.uk.

Black Friday officially begins on 23/10/2018 but we’re predicting a whole month of crazy deals

What and When is Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the biggest shopping days of the year and they are just around the corner. The official event occurs on the last Friday of November, 23/10/2018, and will last through to Cyber Monday, 26/10/2018. Last year, Black Friday related deals lasted for around three weeks and I’m predicting Black Friday related deals to last the whole month of November this year as the world starts adapting to the massive craze that is online shopping. Customers are also beginning to use this sales bonanza to pick up their Christmas gifts which is somewhat an inevitable chore when December comes around, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled not just for yourself, but also your loved ones.

Black Friday 2018 & Cyber Monday 2018: Bookmark This Page

From now up until the end of Cyber Monday, I will be posting the best deals on this page. The demand for the best deals is so much that often you’ll see them going out of stock as soon as you get your eyes on them, so make sure you bookmark this page and check back more than once in order to not miss out.

What to Expect From This Year?

Amazon is usually the retailer that has the biggest sale across all the categories you can possibly think of, and they usually see online shopping events as the perfect opportunity to discount their own devices. Last year, the Amazon Echo’s price was reduced by £20, Amazon Echo Dot reduced from £49.99 to £34.99 and the Amazon Echo Plus was brought down from £139.99 to £109.99. The Amazon Fire tablets, Amazon Fire TV sticks and Amazon Kindle e-Readers also saw some heavy discounts.

Black Friday 2017 deals in the Gaming category was somewhat a revelation. We saw Currys PC World and Amazon reducing PS4 bundles to £199.99 and Xbox One S bundles to £169.99, and I believe this year will be no different with retailers taking advantage of FIFA 19 and Red Dead Redemption 2 in their bundle deals.

Black Friday is also home to the best 4K TV deals, as AO, Amazon, John Lewis and Currys PC World tend to compete with each other for the best TV deal. I saw the LG OLED C7 65-inch 4K HDR OLED TV go for £2499 at Currys PC World, which meant a whooping £1800 off list price. If you’re in the market for a TV, Black Friday is the best time to pick up a deal.

Deals to Keep You Going

However, don’t be fooled and think the best deals of the year are limited to the month of November, because they aren’t. Check out our UK Daily Deals post for the best deals today.
