How many days until Cyber Monday?

About Cyber Monday

Cyber Monday is a major online shopping event that falls on the Monday following Thanksgiving in the United States, positioned as the digital counterpart to the in-store Black Friday shopping event. Its date shifts every year because it is defined relative to Thanksgiving, which is set as the fourth Thursday of November rather than a fixed calendar date, so Cyber Monday moves along with that formula each year. The term was coined by a retail trade group in the mid-2000s, based on the observation that online shopping activity noticeably spiked on the Monday after the Thanksgiving weekend, a pattern attributed at the time to shoppers returning to faster workplace internet connections after a weekend of browsing at home; this original explanation has become less central as home internet speeds have improved dramatically since then, though the shopping-day tradition it inspired persisted regardless. In the years since, retailers have leaned into the occasion with dedicated online-only deals, email marketing campaigns, and extended sales windows that often begin before the Monday itself and stretch through the following days. The event has also expanded well beyond the United States, adopted by online retailers internationally as a major sales occasion in its own right. A common misconception is treating Cyber Monday as strictly an American phenomenon tied to Thanksgiving; while its origins are rooted in the US holiday calendar, many international retailers now run Cyber Monday promotions with no connection to Thanksgiving at all, treating it simply as a globally recognized late-November online shopping event.
