Cyber Monday Countdown
About this countdown

Pair it with our Black Friday countdown: the two dates bracket the biggest deal weekend of the year, and the best strategy is knowing exactly when each begins.

Cyber Monday was coined in 2005 when retail analysts noticed a spike in online shopping on the Monday after Thanksgiving — workers were returning to office computers with faster internet connections than they had at home, and finishing the weekend's shopping online.
The name stuck, and the day outgrew its origin story: Cyber Monday now regularly ranks as the single biggest online shopping day of the year in the United States, with 'Cyber Week' deals stretching the event in both directions.
Cyber Monday: Facts Worth Knowing
- Cyber Monday's origin was literally office internet — broadband at work beat dial-up at home in 2005.
- It routinely sets the record for the biggest US online shopping day each year.
- Electronics, toys, and travel deals historically cluster deepest on the Monday itself.
- Mobile phones now account for a huge share of Cyber Monday purchases — the office-desktop origin is fully obsolete.
- 'Cyber Week' spreads deals from Thanksgiving through the following weekend.
- The date follows Thanksgiving's fourth-Thursday rule — the next ten years are computed in the table below.
