Status (October 5, 2026): Seeking Alpha has not announced its 2026 Black Friday or Cyber Monday offer. Black Friday 2026 falls on November 27, 2026 and Cyber Monday on November 30, 2026. Based on the last two years, the sale is likely to open in mid-November. This page will be updated when the offer goes live — until then, nothing below is a 2026 price.
Seeking Alpha has run a Black Friday promotion every year we could find records for, and it has consistently been the cheapest time of year to start a first-year subscription. Historical discounts have covered Premium, Alpha Picks, the Premium + Alpha Picks bundle and, in 2025, PRO. Deals have been first-year only (renewals at then-current list) and have not used a public “promo code” — the discount comes from the offer page itself.
Current Seeking Alpha prices (before any Black Friday sale)
These are the prices you would pay today, outside of a seasonal sale. They are the baseline for judging whether a Black Friday offer is actually good. Checked October 5, 2026.

What the history tells us
- The sale is a window, not a day. In 2024 it was reported running from November 18 to December 5. In 2025 deal trackers reported it live from around November 12–13 and running until December 10. Black Friday and Cyber Monday have been covered by the same promotion rather than two separate deals.
- Premium discounts have ranged from about 20% to 30% off list. $209 in 2024 was 30% off the $299 list; $239 in 2025 was 20% off. In 2023, when Premium listed at $239, the reported deal was 30% off at $167.
- The bundle has usually been the biggest absolute saving. The Premium + Alpha Picks bundle was reported at $509 in 2024 and $574 in 2025. Past bundle offers were reported without a free trial.
- PRO joined the sale in 2025 at a reported $1,920 for the first year (20% off $2,400). We have not found a documented PRO Black Friday price for earlier years.
- Prices have risen over time. Premium listed at $239 in 2022–2023 and $299 since 2024, so a “30% off” headline does not mean the same dollar price every year.
What to expect for Seeking Alpha Black Friday 2026
We do not invent 2026 prices. Seeking Alpha has not published them. Anyone listing exact 2026 Black Friday dollar amounts before the official announcement is guessing.
- In both 2024 and 2025 the promotion was live before Thanksgiving week, starting somewhere between November 12 and November 18.
- It ran past Cyber Monday into early December (December 5 in 2024, December 10 in 2025).
- For 2026, Thanksgiving is November 26, Black Friday November 27, and Cyber Monday November 30. A mid-November start and an early-December end would be consistent with the last two years — but that is pattern, not a confirmed schedule.
- Compare any future offer against the standing first-year Premium price ($269 as of October 2026), not only against the $299 list.
A practical approach: check Seeking Alpha’s subscription page in the second week of November, and again around Thanksgiving. If you see an offer that matches or beats the historical range in the table above, there has been little evidence that waiting for Cyber Monday produces a deeper cut.
