According to Amazon officials, Prime members will be able to take advantage of deep discounts across nearly three dozen categories that include electronics, kitchen, apparel and even back-to-school shopping essentials.

Historically, Prime Day has taken place during the second Tuesday and Wednesday of July. In 2024, Prime Day took place from July 16-17 to coincide with Amazon’s 20th anniversary. In 2021, Prime Day took place from June 21-22. Do I need to be a Prime member for Amazon Prime Day 2026?Yes.Prime Day is exclusive to Amazon Prime members.

Young adults (ages 18-24) and college students can try a discounted Prime membership with a six-month trial period, then pay a discounted rate of $7.49 per month, or $69 per year (which saves you $20 annually compared to the monthly membership). What deals can I expect?We won’t know what deals we can expect until we get closer to the event, but Amazon officials did reveal a couple details surrounding Prime Day deals. First, Prime members will be able to take advantage of deep discounts across dozens of categories. Officials said those categories include electronics (so think AirPods, laptops and TVs), kitchen (air fryers, stand mixers and cooking essentials), and beauty products (could see Crest 3D Whitestrips go back on sale). Second, officials emphasized in their Prime Day announcement that parents will be able to get an early start on Back-to-School shopping during Prime Day, so you can anticipate school supplies and any dorm essentials for college students going on sale during Prime Day.
