AliExpress 11.11 2026 Runs Nov 1–18, Then Black Friday to Dec 3
AliExpress's 11.11 no longer starts on the 11th. Its announcement of 29 October splits the season into three back-to-back sales: 11.11 from 1 to 18 November, Black Friday from 19 to 29 November and Cyber Monday from 30 November to 3 December. That is 33 days in a row.
So the sale is already on, and Wednesday the 11th is the peak rather than the starting gun. Here is what is confirmed, what is not, and how to use the days that are left.

One caveat. The announcement was published for European shoppers. Promo-code listings show the same 1–18 November window for the US store, but AliExpress has not put out a separate US release, so treat the US dates as very likely rather than official.
| Sale | Dates | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| 11.11 Sale | 1–18 Nov (Sun–Wed) | Peak on Wednesday 11 November |
| Black Friday Sale | 19–29 Nov (Thu–Sun) | US Black Friday itself is Friday 27 November |
| Cyber Monday | 30 Nov – 3 Dec (Mon–Thu) | The last leg — too late for standard shipping before Christmas in many places |

What's new this year
- Bundle deals. An extra discount when you buy three or more items from the same category — €5 in the European release, across 39 ready-made categories. It suits exactly what AliExpress is good at: cables and chargers, phone accessories, craft supplies, stocking fillers.
- Elite — a new free membership with members-only prices in the app.
- Super Brand Days — brand-run promotions through November; the release names Gamesir, 70mai, Chuwi and Oukitel among others.
- Fast & Free — items stocked in European warehouses ship free and faster, with next-day delivery in some cities such as Madrid and Warsaw.
Coupons: the day matters more than the code
Codes differ by country and by site, and most pages promising "AliExpress 11.11 coupons" are affiliate pages competing to show you their own. What stays the same is the structure: tiered platform coupons (spend this much, save that much), one per order, limited stock, and the largest tiers released only on certain days.
In Spain, for example, the top coupons — €100 and €120 off — were available only on 1–3 and 11–12 November, according to Xataka. The days are the part worth planning around: have the basket ready before the 11th, and if you need a big coupon tier, check out on the 11th or the 12th rather than mid-week.
How to use the days that are left
- Write the list now, not on the night. A wishlist records the price on the day you add an item, so on the 11th you can see whether "−60%" is a real cut or the usual price in costume.
- Order gifts first. Christmas presents bought during the 11.11 leg have time to arrive. The Cyber Monday leg, which ends on 3 December, is cutting it fine for standard shipping.
- Stack, but only once. One platform coupon per order, plus a cashback app on top if you use one — here is how those work.
- Compare big-ticket items with Black Friday at regular retailers before buying: how to prepare that list.

Frequently asked questions
When does AliExpress 11.11 2026 start and end?
From 1 to 18 November 2026, according to AliExpress's announcement of 29 October. Black Friday follows on 19–29 November and Cyber Monday on 30 November – 3 December.
Is 11 November still the best day to buy?
Usually, yes: it is the peak of the sale, and in Spain the largest coupons were released on 1–3 and 11–12 November. Prices can drop again during the Black Friday leg, so a basket you miss on the 11th is not lost.
Are the AliExpress 11.11 dates the same in the US?
The official release was for Europe. Promo-code listings show the same 1–18 November window for the US store, but AliExpress has not published a separate US announcement.
