Amazon July Prime Day 2025 date Amazon has announced that this year's Prime Day will occur from July 8 to July 11. Usually, the sale only lasts two days, so this is a significant expansion compared to previous years. However, the amount you save could be affected by tariffs. Regardless, we expect to see tons of price cuts on the latest tech, smart home upgrades, everyday basics and more. Plus, there are already deals you can start adding to your cart now. Previous Amazon Prime Day dates Since Amazon launched its first Prime Day sale back in 2015, the company has scheduled the event for around the same time of year. Outside of a couple of recent years, Amazon has kicked off the main sale event somewhere within the middle two weeks of July, and 2025 is no exception. Here are the previous Amazon Prime Day dates: Prime Day 2015: July 15 Prime Day 2016: July 12 Prime Day 2017: July 11 to 12 Prime Day 2018: July 16 to 17 Prime Day 2019: July 15 to 16 Prime Day 2020: Oct. 13 to 14 Prime Day 2021: June 21 to 22 Prime Day 2022: July 12 to 13 Prime Early Access Sale 2022: Oct. 11 to 12 Prime Day 2023: July 11 to 12 Prime Big Deal Days 2023: Oct. 10 to 11 Prime Day 2024: July 16 to 17 Prime Big Deal Days 2024: Oct. 8 to 9 Big Spring Sale 2025: March 20 to 25 Prime Day 2025: July 8 to 11 Should you shop July 4th sales or Prime Day? There's no doubt that there will be tons of deals during both events. However it's not about when to shop but what to shop for. If you're looking for outdoor things like a patio set or power tools, Fourth of July sales will bring you more savings. But if you're looking for electronics or smart home gadgets, you'll have better luck during Prime Day. And if you don't have anything specific in mind, enjoy shopping all these deals for just about half the month of July. Will tariffs impact this year's Prime Day deals? Tariffs are top of mind for most Americans and it could impact this year's Prime Day event. Prices on items like electronics could very well increase, with companies like Apple trying to avoid so by moving manufacturing operations elsewhere. The tariffs are currently paused but only until July, right when Prime Day begins. What is Prime Day? Amazon began the annual Prime Day tradition back in 2015. And ever since, bargain hunters have eagerly awaited its return every summer. The Prime Day sale event has historically taken place in July, and this year is no exception. Amazon often has other sales throughout the year, including a second Prime Day-like sale in October and the Big Spring Sale. We know Prime Day is less than two weeks away but we're covering all the essentials well ahead of time, including everything from signing up for Amazon Prime and returning Prime Day purchases to getting Prime Day deals free and using extra Prime perks.

How we choose the best Memorial Day deals Our team of expert shoppers and deal-hunters has spent years helping buyers determine which major sales and deals are legitimately good and which are more routine. That includes Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other shopping events. We've become very good at weeding out scams and superficial deals, so you see only the best offers from all retailers, including the Home Depot deals noted above. We look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when selecting a deal. We consider price history to ensure costs aren't inflated to make a discount seem more substantial than it is. We choose products we've tested or have top reviews because if an item breaks the first time you use it, the discount isn't worth it. Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal seems like it will only be around for a short time or will only be available for the remaining stock, we'll let you know up front so you don't return to the deal later only to be disappointed.
