AliExpress's 11.11 sale, also called Singles' Day, is its biggest sale of the year. In 2026 the global festival runs from 1 to 18 November, with the main day on Wednesday, 11 November. Shoppers in Kuwait get the same platform deals, and you can add our AliExpress promo code at checkout for an extra discount.
This guide covers the dates, the kinds of deals to look for, and how to stack a promo code on top of AliExpress's own coupons.
When is AliExpress 11.11 in 2026?
- 1 November: the 11.11 festival starts, with deals and coupons across the app.
- 11 November: the main 11.11 day. Many of the biggest coupons and flash deals are timed for it, and popular items sell out fast.
- 18 November: the festival ends.
- 27 November: White Friday follows a week later. See our White Friday 2026 guide.
Sale times in the app follow AliExpress's own schedule, so the exact start in Kuwait time can differ from midnight. Open the app on 10 November in the evening to see when coupons go live.
What deals to look for
- Platform coupons: AliExpress hands out coupons in the app during the festival. They're limited and first come, first served, so collect them early.
- Store coupons: many sellers offer their own coupons on their store page. These usually work together with platform coupons.
- Choice items: products marked Choice come with free shipping and returns on eligible orders and clearer delivery times.
- Brand+: AliExpress's section for products from known brands, with free shipping and returns on eligible purchases.
- New-user deals: if you've never ordered from AliExpress, check the welcome offers in the app before your first order.
How to add a promo code on top of 11.11 deals
- Collect the platform and store coupons in the app before you check out.
- Add your items to the cart and go to checkout.
- Copy the code from our AliExpress page and paste it into the promo code field.
