Veterans Day sales 2026 are over. Next one: around November 2027
Veterans Day is 11 November. Most of the deals run in the days before it, led by mattresses and furniture, and many are early Black Friday prices under a new name.
Veterans Day sales 2026 have ended. It ran 6 – 11 Nov 2026. The next one is expected around November 2027.
Around November 2027 Dates not out yet
The dates are not out yet. We expect it at about the same time as last year and add the exact dates the day they are announced.
| Year | Dates | Days | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 7 – 11 Nov 2025 | 5 | The holiday fell on a Tuesday. Mattress brands ran about 25–35% off, much of it already labelled "early Black Friday". |
| 2024 | 8 – 11 Nov 2024 | 4 | A Monday holiday, so the deals filled a long weekend. |
| 2023 | 9 – 13 Nov 2023 | 5 | 11 November was a Saturday, so the federal day off moved to Friday the 10th. |
Nothing big. Mattress and furniture prices in late October are usually higher than they will be in two weeks.
Mattresses, bed frames and outdoor gear. Veterans Day prices often match Black Friday, and the popular sizes and colours are still in stock.
TVs, laptops, headphones and toys. Their lowest prices of the year usually land on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, about two weeks later.
Is a Veterans Day sale a real sale?
Mostly, yes, but it is rarely the lowest price of the season. In recent years many brands have used Veterans Day weekend to open their Black Friday pricing, so the discount you see around 11 November is often the same one you will see on Black Friday two weeks later. What changes is stock: the popular mattress sizes, sofa colours and appliance finishes start selling out by late November.
Mattresses are the category worth buying now
Mattress brands run their deepest discounts of the autumn here, usually 20–35% off. Judge the deal by the price you pay, not the percentage: a big discount off an inflated list price is not a deal. Compare with the brand's own price in September, and check the trial length and who pays for a return before you order.
What military discounts cover, and what they do not
Home Depot and Lowe's both give 10% off to active duty service members, veterans and spouses all year, online and in store. Home Depot caps it at $400 a year; Lowe's has no cap. Neither covers appliances, so for a fridge or washer the Veterans Day sale price is the one to compare. Verify your status before the day (Home Depot uses SheerID, Lowe's uses ID.me) so the checkout does not stall.
When to wait for Black Friday
- Electronics: wait. TVs, laptops and headphones are cheapest on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
- Mattresses, furniture, outdoor gear: buy if the price matches what you expect on Black Friday. It often does, and you get first pick of stock.
- Not sure? Check the store's price-adjustment policy. Some stores refund the difference if the price drops within a set window after you buy.
Add a code on top
Sale prices and coupon codes do not always stack, and a lot of "Veterans Day codes" online are last year's. We only list a code after it works at a real checkout, so check the store's page here before you pay.
