There are less than two months until the biggest sales weekend of the year, but some early Cyber Monday deals have already hit the market. If you can't quite wait until December 2, we've got you covered with everything you need to know about Cyber Monday, including some of the best early deals available.

The Cyber Monday deals weekend event marks the last big push for the bargain-bearing behemoth that is the Black Friday long weekend. The shopping holiday officially kicks off on November 29 since Thanksgiving is pretty late this year. Although the sales-friendly weekend marks some of the year's biggest deals, several top stores start discounting items long before then. In fact, some of our favorite items are on sale right now.

Is Cyber Monday better than Black Friday? Should you wait? When is it, and when do the deals start? Stick with us, and we'll explain all this and more below. Or, if we're past all that, you can check out some of the best deals currently available.

Can't wait, won't wait? There's no need to really. There are several deals below on some of the year's top items across tech, home, and more. Keep in mind that many of these prices could (and often do) get even lower the closer we get to Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

When is Cyber Monday 2024?

Cyber Monday 2024 takes place on Monday, December 2. That's the first Monday following Black Friday. Any brand new deals that aren't just carrying over from Black Friday usually begin around midnight PT in the US (or 3 a.m. ET), and most will end 24 hours later.

Are there any early Cyber Monday deals?

Very much so. Several top retailers are already offering some sales, even if they're not necessarily pegged to Cyber Monday yet. So, if you fancy getting some early seasonal shopping out of the way, now's the time. We've listed the best ones earlier in this article.

Do Cyber Monday deals start early and finish later than December 2?

Yes, we expect most Cyber Monday deals to be live by Black Friday a few days before. Cyber Monday is increasingly becoming a continuation of the Black Friday event rather than its own individual sale. However, some stores will have fresh deals in reserve to launch on the day. These are usually for different products, so if you buy something labeled as a Black Friday deal on Friday, it's highly unlikely it will go for less on Cyber Monday. 

And the Black Friday deals start earlier every year, with mid-November, at the latest, being the point when most retailers have launched Early Black Friday deals, which you can essentially read as Early Cyber Monday deals, too. 

The Monday before Black Friday (November 25th) is when an even bigger wave of deals will launch, and we usually see some retailers attempt a 'Cyber Week' of deals from the Tuesday after Cyber Monday. This last one feels like a stretch, though, and while there will absolutely be some great leftovers, holding off on a Cyber Monday deal to see if it goes cheaper for 'Cyber Week' is a bad idea.

But I heard Cyber Monday was bigger than Black Friday?

It depends on who you ask and in what category (more on this below), but the 'bigger' element often refers to many online retailers making more money on the Monday sale. This could, in large part, be due to people hedging their bets and finally buying items they've had in their baskets since Black Friday, just making extra sure another retailer hasn't dropped the price further. 

Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday?

On most categories, we'd say they are not - they're often the same. Many retailers plan on running the same deals from Black Friday through Cyber Monday, but only while stocks last - this is especially true in tech. Clothing deals are a different story, though, as many retailers use Cyber Monday to majorly discount last season's lines, so whatever they're still trying to clear out can get further markdowns from their Black Friday price.
