**Black Friday is Almost Here: Everything You Need to Know**
Black Friday is fast approaching! The official shopping holiday occurs on **November 29**, but **Amazon’s Black Friday event** starts even earlier, launching on **Thursday, November 21**, and extending through **Cyber Monday, December 2**. Shoppers can look forward to fantastic deals on **electronics**, **toys**, **kitchen gadgets**, and so much more. In fact, many discounts are already available, reminiscent of past years.
In contrast to **Prime Day**, which is limited to **Prime members**, anyone can seize the opportunity of Amazon’s Black Friday discounts without a Prime membership. However, Prime members enjoy advantages, including access to **exclusive savings**, **free and fast delivery**, and the chance to watch the **Black Friday NFL game** on **November 29**. This year, the **Kansas City Chiefs** will compete against the **Las Vegas Raiders** at 3 p.m. ET, with the game streaming exclusively on **Prime Video**. During the match, there will also be new discounts available on toys, electronics, and clothing.
