Home Depot Thanksgiving Hours 2026 and Black Friday Opening Time
Home Depot is closed on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26, 2026.
Stores reopen at 6 a.m. on Black Friday, November 27, according to the company’s 2026 holiday schedule.
Those are the Home Depot Thanksgiving hours on the official schedule. The days around the holiday keep regular store hours.
Thanksgiving Week Hours at Home Depot
- Regular hours on Wednesday, November 25
- Closed on Thanksgiving Day, November 26
- Open at 6 a.m. on Black Friday, November 27
- Regular hours on Saturday and Sunday, November 28 and 29
Regular hours at most stores mean 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7 or 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday. The Home Depot hours breakdown shows how that varies by store.
So yes, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is a normal shopping day. The company published this schedule on March 30, 2026, and it lists no regional exceptions, though it still tells shoppers to check the store locator for local hours.
After the holiday weekend, the next change is Christmas Eve, when stores close at 5 p.m.
Black Friday Opening Time
Home Depot’s 2026 holiday hours page lists a 6 a.m. opening on Black Friday and no early closing.
Here’s the part most holiday-hours pages skip. 6 a.m. is already the normal weekday opening at most Home Depot stores, so Black Friday doesn’t start any earlier than an ordinary Friday there.
It only matters at stores that usually open later, like city locations with a 7 a.m. start. If your store’s page shows 7 a.m., check whether it moves to 6 for the day.
The deals don’t wait for Friday either. In 2025, Home Depot’s own site listed its Black Friday sale as running from November 5 through December 3, 9to5Toys reported.
That’s why I’d skip the 6 a.m. run unless one specific deal is on your list. If the 2026 sale follows the same pattern, most of those prices will have been live for weeks.
Planning a Trip Around the Holiday
Wednesday, November 25, is the last full shopping day before the holiday. If the list includes folding tables, extension cords or a fresh propane tank for the turkey fryer, that’s the day to grab them.
Black Friday runs to your store’s normal closing time, since the schedule lists only the 6 a.m. opening. An evening trip on Friday is a fair option if you’d rather skip the morning.
The weekend after is ordinary. Saturday, November 28, and Sunday, November 29, keep regular hours, so projects that start after the holiday don’t face any special schedule.
Shopping Online and Calling on Thanksgiving Day
Stores are dark, but homedepot.com and the Home Depot app keep taking orders.
Phone help stays on too. Home Depot’s online customer care line, 1-800-430-3376, runs 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. Eastern seven days a week, and its posted schedule names Christmas Day as the day it closes, not Thanksgiving.
Store pickup, curbside and the Tool Rental Center all wait for the doors to reopen. A truck or tool for a Thanksgiving weekend project means a Wednesday pickup or a Friday morning one.
Kids Workshop Before Thanksgiving
The free Home Depot Kids Workshop adds a bonus session the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Home Depot’s 2026 calendar lists a Christmas car ornament on November 21, two weeks after the regular November 7 dump truck.
The calendar shows the ornament as a little red car with a tree on the roof, a window for a photo and a 2026 plate, which makes it an easy gift for grandparents.
There’s no workshop on the holiday weekend itself. Sign-up details are in the Kids Workshop schedule.
Returns Around Thanksgiving
Most returns can wait until Friday. In-store returns are processed on the spot, and most items have a 90-day window, so a closed Thursday barely matters.
Short windows are the exception. Gas generators get only 7 days under Home Depot’s return policy, and a closed Thanksgiving is one of them.
Major appliances work differently. Their 48-hour returns start with a call to Home Depot’s Customer Solutions line, which lists hours seven days a week, so that clock doesn’t wait for the store.
Black Friday gifts that come back after the holidays follow a simpler rule. Home Depot takes gift returns at the store and issues store credit.
