Black Friday sale

An okay start but likely worth waiting for bigger discounts and more products

Matalan has launched its Black Friday sale online and in stores, with 20% off selected coats, knitwear, boots, kidswear and homeware.

How good is the sale and is it worth waiting? It's okay for now, but we think it could be worth waiting. Based on previous sales, we're expecting stronger discounts nearer Black Friday (27 November), potentially reaching 25% off, as well as more products being added.

Matalan often runs app-only offers, so if you shop at it regularly, it's worth checking its free app for any additional deals.

Some deals we found on Tuesday 3 November include:

Important: Don’t allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be sucked into buying something you don’t need or can’t afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you're getting the best deal – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it.

Matalan Black Friday 2026 prediction

25% off selected men's & women's clothing, followed by kids' & homeware

🗓️ Predicted from Monday 9 November till Monday 30 November

Matalan kicked off its Black Friday sale earlier than we anticipated last year, so it could be later in 2026, but we think there's a good chance it'll stick to the early November launch.

You'll likely see 25% off selected men's and women's clothing initially, with Matalan expanding its discounts to include 25% off kids' and homeware closer to Black Friday. Last year, we saw it add new lines to its sale about a week before Black Friday itself.

Will more deals be added? Yes! We imagine the sale will expand to almost everything.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.

If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.
