Bottom line: DataCamp’s Black Friday sale is long: in 2025 it ran from 10 November to 4 December, started at 50% off a year of Premium ($165 instead of $330) and rose to 55% off (about $148.50) in Black Friday week. But DataCamp runs 50% off sales several times a year, including one live now through 31 October 2026, so waiting for Black Friday saves at most about $16.50.

Use Free Access Week before you buy
DataCamp opens its whole catalog for free for one week each November: in 2025 that was 9am EST on 3 November to 11:59pm EST on 9 November, with no credit card. Because the Black Friday sale began the next day in 2025, the sensible sequence is to try a career track during Free Access Week, then buy in the sale only if you finished more than a course or two.
Good tracks to test during the free week are the ones DataCamp promotes most: Python data fundamentals, the associate data analyst tracks in Python or SQL, and the AI fundamentals track. If DataCamp’s exercises keep you going for a week, a year of Premium is likely to be used.
Should you buy DataCamp now or wait for Black Friday?
| If you are reading this | Our advice |
|---|---|
| During any 50% off sale (including October 2026) | Buy if you are ready. Waiting saves about $16.50 at most. |
| Between sales | Wait. A 50% sale has rarely been more than a few weeks away. |
| Early November | Use Free Access Week, then decide in the Black Friday sale. |
| Black Friday week to 4 December | Buy; the 55% price in 2025 was the lowest we can document. |
Is DataCamp the right purchase?
DataCamp is strongest for hands-on practice in data skills: short exercises in the browser with instant feedback, plus career tracks that string them together. It is weaker if you want a university-backed credential or deep theory. If that is what you need, Coursera Plus may be the better November purchase; see our Coursera Black Friday guide.

Frequently asked questions
When is the DataCamp Black Friday sale in 2026?
DataCamp has not announced it. In 2025 its Black Friday sale ran from 10 November to 4 December, and in 2024 it started on 11 November and ran past Cyber Monday. Both years it was preceded by a free access week in the first week of November. Expect a similar pattern in 2026.
How much is DataCamp Premium on Black Friday?
The 2025 Black Friday sale started at 50% off, $165 for a year of Premium instead of $330, and DataCamp raised it to 55% off (about $148.50) by 24 November. In 2024 the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale was 50% off.
Is DataCamp cheaper on Black Friday than at other times?
Only slightly. DataCamp runs 50% off sales several times a year, including October 2026 ($165, 5 to 31 October) and its end-of-year sales in December. The 55% price late in the 2025 Black Friday sale was the lowest we can document.
What is DataCamp Free Access Week?
A week when all DataCamp courses, tracks and certifications are free with no credit card. In 2025 it ran from 3 to 9 November and in 2024 from 4 November. It is a good way to try DataCamp before buying in the Black Friday sale that follows.
Is the DataCamp Black Friday sale worth waiting for?
If you can buy during another 50% off sale, such as the October 2026 one, the saving from waiting is small: at most about $16.50 if the 55% offer returns. If no sale is running when you are ready, waiting for November is worth it, since the regular price is $330 a year.
Does DataCamp have a student discount?
Yes. DataCamp’s promo page lists a 50% student discount on Premium for eligible students, available outside the Black Friday window.
