Walmart Black Friday sale LIVE: the best deals hand-picked by our experts

The first Walmart Black Friday sale begins today and the retailer is set to drop some standout offers on Apple tech, TVs, laptops, small appliances and more. I’m here to guide you through the event with our live coverage so you’re fully prepared for when the deals drop and can bag yourself a bargain before they sell out.

The best way to ensure that is to be a Walmart Plus member as that gets you exclusive early access to the retailer’s Black Friday deals from 12pm ET – that’s three hours before anyone else when the general sale begins at 3pm ET. Early access could be a hugely beneficial perk as during last year’s sale I saw many of the best offers sell out very quickly.

Not a Walmart Plus member? You can currently get 50% off a year-long Walmart Plus membership which drops the price to $49. This rare offer is only available until 2:59pm ET, though, so best to grab it quickly if you want to take part in the early access sale.

That about covers all the key info. Check out all the upcoming Walmart Black Friday deals below and follow our live coverage throughout the day for a more thorough breakdown of the quality of the deals, the latest availability and any hidden surprises along the way.

Walmart Black Friday sale starts today

Welcome to our countdown to the start of the first Walmart Black Friday sale here at TechRadar.

Until the early access period begins for Walmart Plus members at 12pm ET, I’m here to share all the important news and give our expert verdict on the deals that will be available in today’s sale so you can come away with the best bargains.

If you’re not a Walmart Plus member, the sale is open to all from 3pm ET. However, be aware that there’s a solid chance that some of the most popular deals will sell out before we reach this point. 

My advice? If there’s something you really want from the list above (especially the AirPods, air fryer or Onn. TV) then it might be worth grabbing a Walmart Plus membership while it’s 50% off. This offer is only available until 2:59pm ET today, though.

Either way, we’ll monitor stock levels right here so you don’t miss out on any deals you want to get from the Walmart Black Friday sale.

Is this the best deal at Walmart today?

Walmart has generously told us all of the Black Friday deals that are going live today so I’ve taken a look at what’s on offer and picked out some highlights. Of everything, I think this offer on the Apple AirPods is the best one you can buy today.

Walmart will have the second-generation version of the popular earbuds for $69. Sure, these are the older model, but it’s still a record-low price for the 2019 AirPods and almost $100 less than the latest release.

Our Apple AirPods (2019) review did find audio performance somewhat underwhelming and wished the battery lasted longer, but with the convenience of wireless charging and this outstanding low price, they’re still a solid buy if you desire affordability and easy connectivity with all Apple devices over everything else.
