Millions of products will be discounted during the event, with popular categories such as TVs, laptops, appliances, video games, tablets, phones and fashion all included. We’ll be covering the Amazon sale live, bringing you all the latest news and biggest Black Friday price drops here. (If you’d like to see the top offers from all retailers, take a look at our best Black Friday deals roundup.)

Our Amazon Black Friday deals live blog is being run by TechRadar deals editor James Pickard and ecommerce content director Julia Sagar this morning, and you’ll find tips, tricks and expert product insight here from across the TechRadar team to help you find the gear and gadgets you want at the lowest possible price.

Our deals team searches the internet daily for discounts on the tech, home, fitness and wellness products that have made it through our tough testing process – and we sometimes surface great deals on interesting items that we haven’t tested (we tell you if we haven’t used a product ourselves.) 

Here, we’re focusing on the best Black Friday deals at Amazon – but if we can find a better offer on the same product at another retailer, we’ll share that, too.

Welcome to our coverage of the Amazon Black Friday sale

Thanks for joining us this morning. 

Hold on, you may be thinking, haven’t there been Black Friday deals at Amazon for the majority of November already? It’s true, the retailer has had early offers for a few weeks, but tomorrow marks the true start of the Amazon Black Friday sale.

Whether it makes that big a difference remains to be seen, but Amazon has said the event will run for 48 hours across November 24 and 25. Thousands of new offers are set to go live – including a selection of limited-time lightning deals every 30 minutes.

These include price cuts of up to 70% on Amazon’s own smart home devices, coffee machines, toys, appliances, Samsung, HP, Dell, Bose and Xbox – as well as a brand new Nintendo Switch bundle.

Stay tuned for regular updates on some of the best early deals in the run-up and then we’ll share our top picks from the fresh batch of Amazon offers once they go live at midnight. Whatever they may be.
