What to expect at Decathlon
Expect broad category markdowns and timed drops across running & training outfits, outdoor layers and footwear, home fitness machines and accessories, and racket & team sports essentials. Exact offers and stock vary by timing, so check the Decathlon Lebanon site/app during the window above for live prices, sizes, and delivery perks.
Cyber Monday: your online clincher
Cyber Monday sits at the end of the White November cycle and is usually online-focused. You’ll often see:
-
Web-only or app-only promo codes
-
Free-delivery thresholds
-
Last-chance markdowns on remaining sizes, colors and accessories
Many shoppers grab big-ticket items and most-wanted sizes earlier in the campaign, then use Cyber Monday to finish their list with remaining accessories or backup gear.
Smart shopping tips
- Shortlist early: add sizes/colors to cart so you can check out fast when prices move.
- Compare the waves: Singles Day → Black Friday → Cyber Monday often feature different product selections and price drops.
- Plan by season: since the offers run in November–December, focus on cold-weather essentials—insulating layers, waterproof jackets, thermal base layers, gloves, beanies, and trail/hiking footwear suited for wet and chilly conditions.
- Explore Decathlon brands: examples include Quechua (outdoor), Domyos (fitness), Kiprun/Kalenji (running), and BTWIN (cycling)—with many more available across categories.
Note: Brand availability can vary by market and season.
FAQs
Why is it called “White Friday” instead of “Black Friday” in some countries?
Many Middle Eastern retailers localized the global Black Friday concept as “White Friday” (and sometimes “White November”) to better align with regional culture—where “white” conveys positivity and celebration. The event, timing, and savings are effectively the same; the name is simply a culturally resonant rebrand.
When is Black Friday in Lebanon?
Black Friday is the day after U.S. Thanksgiving (the fourth Thursday of November), so the exact date shifts each year in late November. For 2025, it falls inside the 24 Nov – 3 Dec White Friday window, and this year it falls on Fri, Nov 28, 2025.
How long does Black Friday last?
The core day is Friday, but in Lebanon many retailers—including Decathlon during White November—extend promotions across the surrounding weekend and into Cyber Monday, with some deals running for the entire White Friday period.
What usually goes on sale on Black Friday?
- Sportswear & footwear (running, training, winter layers)
- Home fitness (dumbbells, benches, bikes, ellipticals)
- Outdoor & camping (backpacks, tents, sleeping bags, hiking footwear)
- Racket & team sports (rackets, balls, protective gear)
Is it better to buy on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
They complement each other: Black Friday is strong for high-demand sizes and store-wide promos; Cyber Monday excels at online-only codes, accessories, and end-of-batch markdowns. If you’re flexible on color or model, Cyber Monday can yield a lower net price.
