Amazonhas confirmed that this year’s Prime Day will take place in July. The announcement came in a press release to coincide with the retailer’s latest earnings call.
“This year, Prime Day will take place in July in more than 20 countries,” Amazon statesin the release. “During Amazon’s annual shopping event, Prime members will be able to save on products from national brands and small businesses across every category.”
And that’s about all that was said on the matter. It’s understandable given the specific date forAmazon Prime Dayis not usually announced until much closer to the event. It’ll be more like late June when the official date is revealed, alongside a few hints as to what deals and promotions we will see over the two-day sales extravaganza. Our best prediction so far? July 18-19.
The confirmation of July is of interest, though, as it’s a return to the window when Prime Day normally takes place. Since it began as a one-day event in 2015, Amazon Prime Day has traditionally taken place in July. It was then changed for the first time in 2020 when it moved to October due to the pandemic. Last year, it took place slightly earlier in June. If you’re looking to score bargains before the July date, you can shopMemorial Day salesright now which include deals from Amazon.
