Since 2019, Dick's has held a weeklong Black Friday sale starting the Sunday prior to Thanksgiving. But Dick’s Black Friday sale can be hit or miss, depending on what’s on your shopping list.

For example, their discounts on big-ticket items, like basketball hoops, ping-pong tables, and high-end golf club sets, can range from 50% – 70% during Dick’s Black Friday sale. But discounts on store brand apparel and Columbia outerwear are all much better if you can wait to shop at other times of the year.

Here’s the deal on Dick's Sporting Goods policies on Black Friday:

  • Price matching: They match most online and brick-and-mortar retailers, including Amazon, Target, Walmart, Kohl's, Foot Locker, Nike, The North Face, and more.

  • Rain Checks: Dick's Sporting Goods doesn't offer rain checks.

  • Shipping: Rewards members get free shipping on orders of $49 or more. Non-members can get free shipping on orders of $65 or more. Or choose store or curbside pickup to avoid shipping fees.

  • Local Delivery: Dick's Sporting Goods offers local same-day delivery through Instacart and DoorDash for $9.99 per order.

Dick's Sporting Goods doesn't offer layaway, but they do have a few payment plan options.

Although Dick's doesn't have a layaway (not even during the holidays), they do offer installment payments through AfterPay (which has an interest-free pay-in-four program, so it won't cost you anything extra, providing you make your payments on time). Dick's Sporting Goods also works with Affirm which has an interest-free four payment plan. Beware, they also offer longer term installment options up to 60 months with interest rates ranges from 0% - 36%.

Shop bikes at Dick’s Black Friday sale.

Dick’s takes 50% off their bike selection on an annual basis, but not during Black Friday where in years past, they've taken up to 65% off bikes. But if you find a bike that doesn't have the best savings, Dick's has a generous price matching policy. Find the exact same bike elsewhere on Black Friday and get Dick's to price match it.

Sign up for Dick’s text alerts for special coupons you can use on Black Friday.

Dick’s offers a few promos to folks who sign up for Dick’s email or text alerts, but around Black Friday, you only want the text alerts. That’s because signing up for Dick’s emails nets you a 10% off coupon, but they won’t allow you to stack percentage-off coupons with Black Friday sales.

But dollar-discount coupons — which you’ll receive when you sign up for their texts — are a different story. Last year you could text KICKOFF to 41389 before the Dick’s Black Friday sale, and they sent you a coupon for $20 off $100 straight to your phone.
