How it works
US Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November, so Black Friday is always the next calendar day—one UTC day after that Thursday.
This page uses the same Thanksgiving-based rule as the Days Until Thanksgiving Calculator and the dynamic Days Until Black Friday event page. If Black Friday has not happened yet this year, the target is this year; after it passes, the target is Black Friday next year.
On Black Friday itself, the page reports that Black Friday is today. Day counts are UTC calendar days. Weeks are whole weeks; months are approximate. Optional “Include today” adds one day for future dates.

Seasonal calculators target the next occurrence automatically—no date to enter. Fixed dates include Valentine's Day (February 14), Independence Day (July 4), Halloween (October 31), Christmas (December 25), and New Year's Day (January 1).
Movable US holidays use the same rules as the dynamic event pages: Mother's Day (second Sunday in May), Easter Sunday (Gregorian), Thanksgiving (fourth Thursday in November), Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving), and Cyber Monday (the Monday after Thanksgiving).
For a live second-by-second display with hours and minutes, use the Countdown Timer when the target includes a specific time of day in UTC.
