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, there are tons of early deals<\/a> already available, so you don’t have to wait until then to start saving big.<\/p>\n

What will be on sale for Prime Day?<\/p>\n

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<\/a> and laptops<\/a>, but tons of smaller appliances like air fryers, Bluetooth speakers and much more will also be on sale. Plus, Amazon has already teased deals of up to 65% off its own devices.<\/p>\n

Do I need a Prime membership to shop the sale?<\/p>\n

A Prime membership is certainly not required to take advantage of these deals, and there will be thousands of offers available to everyone. However, we do expect to see some special offers and steeper discounts that are exclusive to Prime members<\/a>. The membership also comes with a ton of other perks<\/a>, so if you’ve been thinking about signing up, now’s a great time to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prime Day is almost here, but you don’t have to wait until the big sale kicks off to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":719338,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[74],"class_list":["post-719337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=719337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719337\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/719338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=719337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=719337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=719337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
