Envato Black Friday 2026: What to Expect From the Cyber Sale

Will Envato run a Black Friday sale this year, and how much will it take off? Envato calls its sale the Cyber Sale, and it hasn’t announced one for 2026 yet. The last 2 Envato Black Friday sales show what to expect.

Envato runs 2 separate sales. Its subscription got 25% off the first year in 2025 and 30% in 2024, while ThemeForest and CodeCanyon cut selected themes and plugins by 30% to 50%.

My advice is to decide which of the 2 you need before the sale opens. A subscription doesn’t include ThemeForest themes, and buying a theme doesn’t give you the subscription.

Black Friday 2026 falls on November 27. Going by the last 2 years, I’d expect the ThemeForest sale around November 18 and the subscription offer around November 25. Those are my estimates, and Envato hasn’t confirmed them.

Envato Black Friday Sales by Year

Envato sets its sale dates in Australian time, so buyers in the US see each sale start the evening before.

YearSubscriptionThemeForest and CodeCanyon
202430% off the first 12 months, from $11.55 a month. November 27 to December 330% to 50% off selected items. November 20 to December 3
202525% off the first year of annual plans, from $12.38 a month. November 26 to December 230% to 50% off selected items. November 19 to December 2
2026Not announcedNot announced

In both years, Envato applied the discounts automatically, with no coupon code. The subscription discount shrank from 30% to 25% last year, so I wouldn’t count on more than 25% this time.

Envato Subscription Prices Now

Envato replaced its single Individual plan with 3 tiers in February 2026. Every tier has the same unlimited stock downloads and the same license, and only the monthly AI credits change.

PlanBilled annuallyAI credits a month
Core$16.50/mo ($198 a year)20
Plus$39/mo ($468 a year)200
Ultimate$99, $168 or $297/mo500, 1,000 or 2,000
Student$11.50/mo, Core only20

The pricing page opens on the 1,000-credit Ultimate pack at $168. The 500-credit pack costs $99.

Core keeps the old Individual price, so last year’s 25% would make it $148.50 for the first year. Plus and Ultimate didn’t exist last November, so I can’t say whether a sale will cover them.

Envato Subscription or ThemeForest

Envato sells 2 different things under one name, and the sale treats them differently:

  • Envato subscription: a monthly or yearly fee for unlimited downloads of stock video, music, photos, fonts, graphics and templates. Many people still call it Envato Elements.
  • Envato Market: one-time purchases of single items on ThemeForest, CodeCanyon and the other marketplaces.
  • No overlap: the subscription doesn’t include Market items, and it doesn’t carry the ThemeForest catalog.
  • Sale scope: the Market sale ran on ThemeForest and CodeCanyon only, and it covered the Regular license.

If you need 1 theme or plugin for a client site, I’d buy it on ThemeForest or CodeCanyon during the sale. If you make videos, thumbnails or social graphics every week, the subscription is the better buy.

The Fine Print

These terms matter more than the size of the discount:

  • No refunds: subscription payments are non-refundable, annual plans included. EU and UK buyers get 14 days to withdraw if they haven’t downloaded anything.
  • No free trial: Envato suggests a month of monthly billing as the test.
  • Renewal: the discount covers the first 12 months. The plan then renews at the standard price, which is $198 a year for Core today.
  • One-time discount: Envato doesn’t give the promotional price again if you cancel and resubscribe.
  • License after you cancel: finished projects stay licensed. You can’t use downloaded items in a new or unfinished project.
  • Market items: each purchase includes 6 months of author support and free updates.

Since there is no refund, I’d pay for 1 month first if you’ve never used the library. A 25% saving on a year you don’t use is still a loss.

WordPress Themes to Watch

Envato picks the sale items from author nominations, so the list changes every year. These are popular ThemeForest themes whose prices I’d check when the sale opens:

WordPress Plugins to Watch

The same goes for CodeCanyon. These plugins are the ones I’d look up first:

FAQs on Envato Black Friday

Does Envato have a Black Friday sale?

Yes, but it calls it the Envato Cyber Sale. It has run every November, with a subscription offer and a separate sale on ThemeForest and CodeCanyon items.

When does the Envato Cyber Sale start in 2026?

Envato hasn’t announced it. The ThemeForest and CodeCanyon sale started on November 20 in 2024 and November 19 in 2025. The subscription offer started on November 27 in 2024 and November 26 in 2025.

How much is the Envato Black Friday discount?

The subscription got 25% off the first year in 2025 and 30% in 2024. ThemeForest and CodeCanyon items were 30% to 50% off in both years.

Is ThemeForest included in the Envato subscription?

No. ThemeForest and CodeCanyon items are separate one-time purchases, and the subscription doesn’t include them.

Does Envato refund subscriptions?

No. Subscription payments are non-refundable, including annual plans, except where consumer law requires a refund.

Do I need a coupon code for the Envato Cyber Sale?

No. In 2024 and 2025, Envato applied the discount automatically at checkout and on the item pages.

Is there an Envato student discount?

Yes. Students and teachers get 30% off the Core plan, which makes it $11.50 a month.

What I’d Do

I’d wait. Nothing is live yet, and both sales opened in the last 2 weeks of November in 2024 and 2025.

For a single theme or plugin, I’d watch ThemeForest and CodeCanyon from November 18. For the subscription, I’d check Envato’s pricing page from November 24 and pick Core, unless you already use the AI tools every week.

My Black Friday Sale

My WordPress plugins and the Palladium theme are 40% off until December 1. Stackless stays at its launch price.
