When is Amazon Prime Day?
Typically, Amazon Prime Day is held on the anniversary of Amazon’s founding: July 15.
In the days leading up to July 15, Amazon will unveil deals. In recent years, Prime Day has lasted through the end of the day on July 16, giving Prime shoppers more time to score deals and discounts. However, the biggest and best deals will usually be available only on Prime Day itself.
For 2020, Prime Day is a bit different. Amazon didn’t hold its traditional sale on July 15, and it’s uncertain when the big event might happen. It’s believed that Prime Day is postponed until October, but Amazon has kept quiet on whether or not this is true.1
Since 2020 is heading into its final months, Prime Day will certainly be in the fall or winter — if it even happens at all. You can keep an eye out for news about the official date by searching online.
