Dell is kicking off its own Black Friday Alienware deals a little early this year. The brand's own site has already launched its annual sale with its Early Holiday Deals promotion now live. That means you'll find price cuts on everything from Alienware gaming laptops to headsets and mice.
We're still a few weeks away from official Black Friday discounts (due on Friday November 28 this year). However, anyone looking to get ahead of the crowds would do well to take a glance at the brand's early offers. I often see retailers soft-launching their official Black Friday Alienware deals weeks out from the main event, and there's nothing to say these offers will return later in the year.

When will Black Friday Alienware deals start?
Inline with the rest of this year's sales official discounts will land on November 29. However, that's just the sales with the Black Friday label on them. We see many of the same prices popping up in the weeks leading up to the main event, and often most frequently over Thanksgiving week. That means it's well worth jumping on a price you like ahead of time - competition is lower and you've got more of a shot at that crashing flash sale.

What to expect from Black Friday Alienware deals in 2025
This year's Black Friday Alienware deals are going to look different whichever way you shake it. With new Alienware Area-51 and Aurora gaming PCs and laptops up for grabs it's all change on these shelves.
Black Friday gaming laptop deals will likely be dominated by the Alienware 16 Area-51, this is the model I've seen offering the best value in sales so far this year. However, if you're after something a little cheaper, the Aurora model has started to shift its price down in more affordable configurations as well. Just make sure you know what you're buying, the 16X Aurora offers far better value than the base 16 Aurora.
An RTX 5070 configuration of the former is usually $300 off day to day, but can take larger discounts during sale events. The price difference between the Aurora and Area-51 models is usually between $700 and $900, so there's a big step in the upgrade.
The world of PCs is a little more straightforward.
There are two models to choose between this year, though the R16 is now just 'Aurora'. Dell has kept the naming conventions between its towers and laptops, though we've only got two tiers to choose from here. An RTX 5080 configuration of the Aurora sits at between $2,700 and $3,200 when on sale, whereas the Area-51 desktop will run you between $3,400 and $4,500 for the GPU.
These are day to day prices, but I'm expecting slightly more off those final rates when Black Friday officially kicks up.
Does Alienware have a Black Friday sale?
You bet. Dell runs its own excellent Black Friday sale every year, and its discounts on Alienware gaming laptops, PCs, and accessories are among the best on the site. We usually see early offers landing around the start of November, with real flash sales kicking off on the big day itself.
We're also expecting to see plenty more Black Friday gaming headset deals, but if you're after more setup accessories, we'd recommend checking out everything we want to see in this year's Black Friday gaming chair deals and Black Friday gaming monitor deals.
