Academy Sports + Outdoors will remain closed on Thanksgiving Day and open at 5 a.m. on Black Friday.

“Since we opened in 1938, we’ve always made our team members a priority, and this year is no different as we keep our stores closed on Thanksgiving Day so our team and our customers can spend time with family and friends,” said J.K. Symancyk, president and CEO, Academy Sports + Outdoors. “We plan to deliver convenience and value to our customers throughout the entire Thanksgiving weekend, whether customers choose to shop us in-store or online, allowing them to balance a key shopping weekend with their holiday celebrations.”

To accommodate customers’ holiday schedules, all stores will offer extended shopping hours mid-December through Christmas Eve.
