With Amazon's 2024 Prime Day sale in our rearview mirror, you may be wondering: When is the next Prime Day sale? Whether you didn't think this week's deals were good enough to drop some cash or you simply like to shop sales, it's always smart to plan ahead.
As it turns out, another Prime-centric sale may not be that far off. Amazon technically only hosts one official "Prime Day" per year (and always in mid-summer). But according to Mashable's team of shopping experts, it's gotten in the habit of hosting a second similar event for Prime members later on.
"Prime Day 2" will likely happen in October — though it probably won't go by that name.
Amazon has hosted a fall Prime event that month for the past two years. It was called the Prime Early Access Sale in 2022 and Prime Big Deal Days in 2023. The sales were two-day affairs that ran from Monday, Oct. 10 to Tuesday Oct. 11 and Tuesday, Oct. 10 to Wednesday, Oct. 11, respectively.
If we assume Amazon will stick with that early-month, early-week time slot, we'll go out on a limb and predict that the October Prime event will happen sometime between Oct. 7 to 9 this year. Either that, or right after Indigenous People's Day on Monday the 14th.
Amazon will likely use this October Prime event to kick off the Black Friday shopping season extra early, so it'll be a good time to start looking for holiday gifts and year-round lows on certain items. Plan your shopping list accordingly.
