AliExpress 11.11 is the marketplace’s annual November shopping festival. For 2026, there was still no official announcement as of 26 September, so the dates below must be treated as expected rather than confirmed. The 2025 event ran from 11 to 19 November and advertised discounts of up to 90%, which gives a useful historical reference for planning this year’s sale. Updated 26 Sep 2026
11.11 promo codes
Promo codes are one of the main discount mechanisms during 11.11, but the important point is that they are not universal. In 2025, codes were tied to markets, had limited activation counts and could be restricted to items marked for the 11.11 promotion. In Spain, for example, one code per user applied to eligible items shipped to Spain, with a euro-denominated discount ladder that started at €3 off €15 and reached €40 off €249.
For 2026, do not treat any code published before the official campaign as current. AliExpress has not announced the 2026 promo codes yet. Use the 2025 examples only as a guide to discount thresholds; wait for the 2026 codes before ordering.
| Code | Discount | Min. order |
|---|---|---|
| On Nov 11 | $3 | $15 |
| On Nov 11 | $5 | $29 |
| On Nov 11 | $12 | $69 |
| On Nov 11 | $20 | $129 |
| On Nov 11 | $40 | $249 |
| On Nov 11 | $60 | $369 |
| On Nov 11 | $75 | $469 |
| On Nov 11 | $85 | $549 |
Code conditions
Check three things before relying on a code: the destination country, whether the item is included in the 11.11 promotion, and whether the activation limit has already been reached. Country restrictions mattered in 2025, and some 2025 codes had limited activation counts. If a code does not work, that does not automatically mean the sale has ended; the code may simply belong to another market, require a different minimum order, or have exhausted its available activations.
When is 11.11 in 2026?
The 2026 schedule had not been officially announced by 26 September 2026. Based on the 2023–2025 pattern, the expected warm-up is 8–10 November and the main sale is expected to begin on 11 November. AliExpress has not announced the exact 2026 timetable yet.
The main phase lasted seven days in 2023 (11–17 November), eight in 2024 (11–18 November) and nine in 2025 (11–19 November), followed by Black Friday from 20 November to 3 December.

How to get the biggest discount
Prepare your cart before the sale
Add the products you are considering before 11 November so you can compare the final checkout total when the campaign starts. This is mainly a practical preparation step: 2026 prices and codes are not known yet, so the goal is to avoid rushing when time-limited promotions appear. Keep the items you actually want in one place, then check which of them receives an 11.11 label and which discount rules apply in your market.
Compare the discount layers that are actually available
Store coupons, AliExpress coupons, promo codes and coins may appear during the campaign, but not every discount layer can necessarily be combined. Treat each one as a possible discount mechanism and check the final price rather than assuming they stack. Country rules can differ. In 2025, the United States also had separate PayPal offers of $25 off $169 and $40 off $269 through 19 November without a code, showing that payment-method promotions can sit outside the standard promo-code flow.
Use thresholds carefully
Minimum-order thresholds matter because a higher cart total can unlock a larger discount, but it is not automatically better to spend more. Compare the final payable amount for the basket you already intend to buy. You can also compare one larger basket with smaller orders that fit the code thresholds. If you split an order, recheck every code condition and the final total; do not assume the same code can be used more than once or across markets.

The official 2025 campaign advertised discounts up to 90%, while 2023 advertised up to 50% and 2024 up to 90%. Those are campaign maximums, not a promise for every item. Compare the final price of the product you intend to buy.

History of 11.11: how it started
2009: the opening milestone
Alibaba turned China’s informal Singles’ Day into a shopping event in 2009. The first 11.11 involved just 27 merchants, and Alibaba later reported that the inaugural event generated about US$7.8 million in GMV. What began as a one-day online promotion quickly became the foundation of a much larger annual shopping festival.
2018–2020: the record years
By 2018, 11.11 had become a record-setting global event: Alibaba reported RMB213.5 billion (US$30.8 billion) in GMV for the 2018 festival, followed by RMB268.4 billion (US$38.4 billion) in 2019.
In 2020, the format expanded into an 11-day campaign and reached RMB498.2 billion (US$74.1 billion) in GMV, with more than 470 brands each surpassing RMB100 million in sales.
2021: concert, MoneyHop and brand offers
In 2021, Alibaba said a record 290,000 brands joined 11.11 and Tmall offered more than 14 million deals.
AliExpress also pushed the festival further into entertainment: in France, La Nuit AliExpress brought artists including Bob Sinclar and Ofenbach to Paris, while the AliExpress app used the Money Hop game to turn play into coupons, coins and other rewards.
For shoppers, 2021 showed how 11.11 was becoming a mix of brand promotions, entertainment and in-app gamification.
2021
2023: 11.11 expands again

AliExpress advertised discounts of up to 50% and an extra US$4 off for every US$20 spent, up to the stated campaign limit. The sale also used pop-up entertainment and app-based activities to keep the event tied to both shopping and experience.
2024 and 2025: longer main phases
In 2024, the main sale ran from 11 to 18 November with discounts advertised up to 90%, alongside the $1 Challenge and the Shake the App campaign in the United States.
