When is this year's Prime Day sale?

While Prime Day typically takes place in July, Amazon is kicking things off a little early in 2026. This year's sale will start on June 23 and will run through June 26. However, tons of early deals are already available, so you don't have to wait until then to start saving big.

What will be on sale for Prime Day?

The real answer is just about everything. We saw over 100,000 deals during last year's sale, which covered everything from the latest Apple earbuds to everyday essentials like coffee pods. Some of the absolute best deals will be on top tech and big-ticket items, like TVs and laptops, plus tons of smaller appliances like air fryers, Bluetooth speaker and much more, will also be on sale.

Do I need a Prime membership to shop the sale?

A Prime membership is certainly not required to take advantage of these deals, and thousands of offers will be available to everyone. However, we do expect to see some special offers and steeper discounts that are exclusive to Prime members. The membership also comes with a ton of other perks, so if you've been thinking about signing up, now's a great time to do so.
