Most Best Buy stores run 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday to Saturday and 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Sunday. The Geek Squad counter inside keeps its own hours and runs on appointments, which is the thing to check if your visit involves a repair rather than a purchase. Below you’ll find store hours, Geek Squad and pickup schedules, and every holiday.
Best Buy reduced its standard store hours several years ago and has not restored them, so the 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM closings people remember from a decade ago are gone at most locations.
Best Buy hours today at a glance
Best Buy Opening Hours Today (+ Closing Hours)
Sunday is shorter at both ends, typically 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Best Buy hours tomorrow will match today unless tomorrow is a Sunday or a holiday, with substantially extended hours through December.
Best Buy Geek Squad and Curbside Pickup Hours
The Geek Squad counter generally opens with the store and closes an hour or so before it, and it runs on booked appointments rather than a line. A walk-in without an appointment can usually be seen for something quick, but anything diagnostic needs a slot, and slots are often booked two or three days out at busy stores. Turning up at 7:00 PM hoping to have a laptop looked at will not work even though the store is open until 8:00 PM.
Drop-off and collection for repairs follow Geek Squad hours rather than store hours, which is the common mix-up. A device ready for collection has to be picked up while the counter is staffed, and the main registers cannot release it.
Curbside and in-store pickup for online orders follow store hours at most locations, and the pickup desk is usually just inside the entrance. During December the pickup area is the busiest part of the store by some margin, and the early morning hours are far quicker than any other part of the day for collecting an order.
Best Buy Closing Hours
What catches people out here is that departments close ahead of the store. The table above covers the building. If your trip depends on a specific counter, use the department hours below instead and give yourself half an hour.

Best Buy Martin Luther King Jr. Day Hours

Memorial Day does not affect Best Buy hours. Doors open at 10:00 AM and close at 8:00 PM, the same as any other day of the week.
Best Buy Independence Day Hours

Best Buy Labor Day Hours
Best Buy stays open on Labor Day and keeps its usual hours. Federal offices and banks shut on this date, which pushes more foot traffic into retail, so late morning tends to be heavier than usual. Geek Squad closes earlier than the store on holidays.

Best Buy Black Friday Hours
Best Buy is open on Black Friday and most stores open early, commonly between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM. It remains one of the chain’s biggest days and the first two hours carry most of the doorbuster traffic. Online ordering with in-store pickup is the practical way to avoid the line.
Best Buy Cyber Monday Hours
Best Buy is open on Cyber Monday with regular hours. The event itself runs online and it is one of the heaviest days of the year for the chain’s website, with the in-store effect being a steady stream of pickups.
Best Buy Christmas Eve Hours
Best Buy is open on Christmas Eve and closes early, commonly between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Opening is often earlier than usual that week. Geek Squad closes well before the store, and no installation or repair work is scheduled that day.
Best Buy Christmas Day Hours
Best Buy is closed on Christmas Day at every location. Stores reopen on December 26th, usually on extended hours, and it is one of the busiest days of the year for both returns and discounted stock.
Best Buy New Year’s Eve Hours

Best Buy Saturday and Sunday Hours
Best Buy Saturday hours
Saturday hours at Best Buy are 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, which is the same as a weekday. Expect the busiest few hours of the week between about 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Anything that needs a member of staff is far easier first thing.
Best Buy Sunday hours
On Sunday, Best Buy runs 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, which is shorter than the rest of the week. The afternoon is the crowded half of the day. Departments that need specialist staff are the ones most likely to be thinly covered on a Sunday, even when the store itself looks fully open.
How to Check Best Buy Hours Before You Go
Hours on this page reflect the schedule used by the large majority of Best Buy locations, but any individual location can differ, and holiday times in particular are often set locally. Three ways to confirm, in order of reliability:
- Start with the official Best Buy locator above, since it is maintained by the company rather than scraped from it.
- Google’s listing for that specific location. Holiday hours tend to appear there a week or two ahead, so it is a useful second opinion.
- Calling directly, which is the only method that catches a same-day change such as a weather closure or a staffing shortage.
The day before a holiday closure is when it matters most, since that is also when Best Buy is at its busiest and least likely to pick up the phone quickly.
Best Buy Busiest Times and Best Time to Go
Weekend afternoons are the busiest stretch of a normal week, and because Best Buy is a store where people want to talk to someone, that matters more than a line at the register would. Weekday mornings after opening are the quietest and the best time to get an actual conversation about a television or a laptop rather than a pointed finger.
December is in another category. From Black Friday through December 24th the store is busy throughout, the pickup desk backs up and Geek Squad appointments disappear. December 26th is the single heaviest day for returns. If you need advice or a service rather than a purchase, January is by far the easiest month of the year.
Alternative Stores to Best Buy
Worth having a backup. Target Hours, Walmart Hours and Staples Hours carry a comparable range to Best Buy and none of them close on exactly the same days, which is the part that matters around a holiday.
Worth checking the specific page before you travel, since these chains differ from Best Buy most on the holidays rather than on a normal weekday.
