Both "na sexta" and "na sexta‑feira" are correct; the mistake would be omitting the preposition "na" (e.g., "Sexta meu compromisso").

Cultural Tip
In Brazil people often use the 12‑hour clock in everyday conversation, adding "da manhã", "da tarde" or "da noite" after the hour. In more formal settings (e.g., business emails) the 24‑hour format is common. Also, while "sexta" is perfectly understood, the full form "sexta‑feira" is preferred in very formal writing.
