Black Friday is always the day after Thanksgiving (the fourth Thursday in November). Some stores start their sales earlier in the week.
How the countdowns work
- Black Friday and Christmas count down to midnight in your own time zone, from your device's clock. The day after, they switch to next year.
- USA Jigsaw Nationals counts down to the opening ceremony (8:45 AM Eastern, Friday March 19, 2027), from the official USAJPA Nationals page. When it's over we show "date TBA" until USAJPA announces the next one. We never guess a date.
- Nothing is tracked or stored. The countdown runs in your browser.
Nationals date checked Oct 24, 2026.

The 2027 USA Jigsaw Nationals are March 19–21, 2027 at the Atlanta Convention Center at AmericasMart, Atlanta, GA, per USAJPA. The championship is sold out (checked Oct 24, 2026), so it's waitlist only. See our waitlist guide.

Black Friday and Christmas count down to midnight where you are, using your device's clock. The Nationals countdown runs to the opening ceremony time in Atlanta (Eastern time).
