So do you grab it this week, or hold out for Black Friday?
Wait. DataCamp has opened every Black Friday since 2023 with 50% off the annual plan. In 2025 it went further near Cyber Monday, with 55% off that put a year of Premium at $149.
We checked DataCamp's pricing page, its promo page and its terms on October 27, 2026. Then we built a ledger of every DataCamp Black Friday sale we could source back to 2022.
Below is what that history says about 2026, plus the stretch of early November where you could end up paying full price. Related: Black Friday 2026: every store we track.
When is the DataCamp Black Friday sale in 2026?
Black Friday falls on Friday, November 27, 2026. Cyber Monday is November 30.
DataCamp hasn't posted its 2026 Black Friday dates. The last three years give you a pattern, though:
- 2023: Class Central added DataCamp's 50% sale to its deal list on November 17 and listed it running until about December 7.
- 2024: DataCamp's own account on X said on November 18 that its Black Friday promo was still live.
- 2025: KDnuggets put the sale at November 12 to December 4. Learnopoly listed the end as December 5 at 11:59 PM EST.
If 2026 follows 2025, expect the sale to open in mid-November and run into the first days of December. That's three weeks, not one day.
Watch the early November gap
This is the timing trap. The Halloween sale ends October 31. In 2025, the Black Friday sale started around November 12.
We don't know whether DataCamp ran any offer between those two points last year. If nothing fills the gap in 2026, the first week and a half of November means paying the full $330.
Don't sign up in that window.
DataCamp Black Friday sale history
This is the table we couldn't find anywhere else. Every row traces to a source at the bottom of this page.
| Year | Offer | What a year of Premium cost | Dates |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Up to 65% off a year of Premium Learn | Price not given in coverage | Reported Nov 29, 2022. End date not given |
| 2023 | 50% off annual subscriptions | Half the annual list price | Listed Nov 17, ran to about Dec 7 |
| 2024 | 50% off a year of unlimited learning | Half the annual list price | Live on Nov 18, 2024. End date not found |
| 2025 | 50% off annual Premium | $165 (from $330) | Nov 12 to Dec 4 or 5 |
| Late 2025 | 55% off first year of Premium or Teams | $149 | Expired Dec 4, 2025 |
| Oct 2026 (Halloween) | 50% off annual Premium and Teams | $165 (from $330) | Oct 5 to Oct 31, 2026 |
Four things stand out.
50% off is DataCamp's Black Friday baseline. It opened the sale in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
The lowest recent price came late. The $149 deal showed up around Cyber Monday 2025, not on day one.
2022 went deepest. Up to 65% off. It hasn't come back in any year we sourced, so don't plan around it.
Today's Halloween price is not a special price. $165 is exactly where Black Friday 2025 started.
What's live right now (checked October 27, 2026)
| Plan | List price | Current offer | What you pay | Ends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium (individual), annual | $330/year | 50% off, Halloween sale | $165 for the year | Oct 31, 2026 |
| Teams, annual | $330 per user | 50% off first year | $165 per user | Oct 31, 2026 |
| Basic | Free | None | $0 | Ongoing |
| Premium Student | Not shown | "Over 50% off" the regular price | Not shown | Year-round, per DataCamp |
DataCamp's pricing page shows Premium as $14 a month billed annually. That lines up with the sale: $165 divided by 12 is $13.75.
No promo code is needed. DataCamp's promo pages apply the discount on their own, so ignore any code a coupon site shows you.
Is $165 today a good deal?
It's a fair price. It isn't the lowest one.
Here's the math. $330 list, $165 today, so you save $165. If Black Friday 2026 repeats late 2025, you'd pay $149. That's another $16 off for waiting.
Sixteen dollars is a little over one month of Premium at $13.75. Small for one person. Real for a team.
The worst case for waiting is mild. If Black Friday 2026 opens at 50% off like the last three years, you pay the same $165, just a few weeks later.
The real cost of waiting is time. Use it. The free Basic plan includes the first chapter of every course, which is enough to test which track you'd actually finish. Related: Coursera Black Friday.
How much can a team save on DataCamp Black Friday?
Teams pricing has followed the same discount as Premium. Today it's $165 per user for the first year, down from $330. In late 2025, the 55% offer covered Teams too, at $149 per member.
| Team size | List ($330/user) | Today ($165/user) | Late 2025 price ($149/user) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 seats | $990 | $495 | $447 |
| 5 seats | $1,650 | $825 | $745 |
| 10 seats | $3,300 | $1,650 | $1,490 |
At 10 seats, a repeat of the late 2025 price saves $160 over buying this week.
Teams starts at 2 users. The extra you get over Premium is admin: managing seats and seeing each person's progress. Related: Brevo Black Friday.
Can you get the Black Friday price if you already subscribe?
Probably not. Learnopoly's write-up of the 2025 sale said you couldn't hold a current subscription, or be on a business or academic plan, to claim it.
So if you already pay monthly, don't assume the deal reaches you. Ask DataCamp support before Black Friday week, not on the day.
One more detail from the pricing page: monthly plans can be paused, but yearly plans can't. Once you buy annual, the clock runs whether you study or not.
What happens when your DataCamp year renews?
This is the line most deal pages skip.
DataCamp's terms say plans renew automatically at the then-current rate unless you opt out. The Teams offer is labeled first year only.
At today's list price, year two costs $330. So a $165 Black Friday year plus a renewal you forgot about is $495 over two years.
Refunds won't save you either. The terms say fees are non-refundable, and individual plans get no refund, including no prorated refund if you cancel partway through.
The fix is simple. Turn off auto-renew the day you buy. DataCamp's terms say you keep access until the end of your paid term.
Does the DataCamp Black Friday deal work in the UK?
DataCamp's pricing page has a currency selector that includes GBP. The page we loaded on October 27, 2026 showed dollar prices only, so we couldn't confirm a pound figure.
Compare percentages, not numbers. If the 2026 sale is 50% off, your pound total at checkout should be half of the GBP list price shown before the discount.
Is there a DataCamp student discount?
Yes. DataCamp says its Premium Student Plan is over 50% off the regular price for eligible college students, and its promo pages describe it as available all year.
That means students don't need Black Friday. If the 2026 sale goes to 55% like late 2025, compare both prices at checkout and take the lower one.
What do DataCamp customers say about billing and support?
On October 27, 2026, DataCamp held a 4.6 out of 5 TrustScore on Trustpilot across 985 reviews. Recent reviewers praised practical, beginner-friendly courses and fast support replies.
The sharpest recent complaint was about billing. One reviewer said an annual charge went through without advance notice, then hit the no-refund rule. That's the renewal problem above, in real life.
Pros and cons of buying DataCamp on Black Friday
Pros
- 50% off annual has opened every Black Friday from 2023 to 2025
- The 2025 sale ran about three weeks, so you don't have to buy on the day
- Teams seats got the same discount as Premium
- No promo code needed
Cons
- Every sale we sourced was annual-only
- No refunds on individual plans
- Renews at the then-current rate unless you opt out
- Existing subscribers were shut out in 2025
The best move today
Let the October 31 deadline pass. Spend November on the free Basic plan and pick your track, then buy annual Premium once DataCamp's Black Friday sale goes live.
Buying for a team of five or more? Waiting matters more for you. Check the offer again in Cyber Monday week, because that's when the $149 price showed up in 2025.
The Shoptera Deals Desk tracks Black Friday pricing for software and online learning subscriptions, store by store, year by year.
On October 27, 2026, we read DataCamp's pricing page, its Black Friday promo page (which currently shows the Halloween sale) and its terms of use, and checked its Trustpilot profile. For past sales we used DataCamp's own post on X and dated deal coverage from KDnuggets, Class Central, Slickdeals, Learnopoly, Course Report and Hello Subscription. We didn't buy a subscription for this piece, and no price here comes from a checkout test.
