The Key Dates
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Black Friday | Friday 27 November 2026 |
| Cyber Monday | Monday 30 November 2026 |
| Typical Elegant Themes sale window | A few days before Black Friday through to the end of Cyber Monday |
Elegant Themes has run a Black Friday promotion every year for as long as we have been members, and it is consistently the largest discount of their calendar. They normally open it slightly ahead of the Friday and keep it live across the Cyber Monday weekend.
What the Discount Usually Looks Like
We will update this page with the confirmed figure as soon as Elegant Themes announces it. Until then, here is the honest position rather than a made-up number:
- Historically the reduction has been around 20–25%, and in some years bonus layout packs or extra products have been bundled in.
- It is clearly better than the standing 10%. The 10% via our link is available every day of the year; Black Friday is the one period where waiting genuinely pays.
- No third-party coupon will beat it. If a site is advertising a bigger Divi code, it is out of date or invented. We cover why in our guide to "20% off Divi" claims.
Should You Wait? The Actual Maths
People overthink this. It comes down to two numbers: what the extra discount saves you, and what the delay costs you.
| Your situation | What we would do |
|---|---|
| Black Friday is weeks away and your project can wait | Wait. On the $249 lifetime plan, the difference between 10% and 25% off is roughly $37 — worth having for doing nothing. |
| You want to start building this week | Buy now with the 10%. A few weeks of stalled progress on a site that should be earning is worth more than $37. |
| You are mid-project on a client build | Buy now. Waiting to save $37 on a paid project makes no commercial sense. |
| It is January and you are reading this | Buy now. Ten months is far too long to wait for a small saving, and the 30-day guarantee covers you either way. |
One more thing worth knowing: the plan you pick matters far more than the sale. Choosing the lifetime licence over annual renewals saves hundreds over five years, which dwarfs any Black Friday percentage. If you are going to be using Divi for the long haul, the sale is the ideal moment to take the lifetime option rather than the cheapest possible entry price.
Which Plan to Buy in the Sale
Assuming the discount applies across the range, as it has previously:
- Lifetime ($249 before discount) — the one to take if you will still be building sites in three years. It is already the best value in the range, and a sale makes it the cheapest it ever gets. See the full pricing comparison.
- Annual ($89 before discount) — fine if you are testing the water with one site and not sure you will stick with WordPress.
- Divi Pro ($277/yr before discount) — only if you will genuinely use Divi AI and Divi Cloud. Because it renews annually, the sale saving applies once and the full price returns next year.
What to Do Before the Sale Opens
If you have decided to wait, spend the time deciding what you are buying rather than refreshing the pricing page:
- Read our Divi review and, more usefully, the case against buying it. A discount on the wrong tool is not a bargain.
- If you are coming from another builder, read the Elementor to Divi migration guide so the switch does not cost you rankings.
- Sketch your site structure. The people who get value out of a sale are the ones who start building the week they buy.
Other WordPress Black Friday Deals
If you are buying Divi in the sale, it is a good moment to sort hosting too. WPX and SiteGround have both run Black Friday deals for years. We track them, and Divi, on one page: all the WordPress Black Friday deals in one place.
The Bottom Line
Black Friday 2026 lands on 27 November, and it will almost certainly be the cheapest Divi gets all year. If you can wait for it, do. If you cannot, take the automatic 10% off through our Elegant Themes link and get on with building — the 30-day money-back guarantee means the decision is reversible either way.

Where should you host a Divi site?
Divi leans harder on the server than a simple theme, so cheap hosting shows its limits quickly. These are the two hosts we would put a Divi site on.
WPX
Top Tier in every WordPress band it entered in the 2026 Review Signal tests. Malware removal, email and site moves included. $24.99/mo paid yearly for 5 sites.
See WPX Plans →SiteGround
