When Is Prime Day 2022?

Prime Day 2022 kicks off July 12 at 3 a.m. ET and runs through July 13. 

What is Prime Day?

Prime Day is Amazon's annual sale when members can find deals on products across every category on Amazon. Aside from Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it's one of the biggest shopping events of the year and a great time to find deals on everything from TVs to AirPods to kitchen appliances if you don't want to wait until fall to make a purchase.

What Kind of Deals Should We Expect for Prime Day 2022?

While we'll have to wait until the sale officially begin on Tuesday to see all the discounted items for Prime Day, we've already seen Amazon begin discounting their devices like Fire TV, Echo, the eero Mesh WiFi system, and Kindle.

Prime Day is also a great time to compare prices for smart TVs, competitor devices like Roku streamers and Google Nest smart home devices, headphones, laptops, and more.

And, of course, some of Amazon's retail competitors will be having their own sales with comparable deals. We'll be sharing the top deals from Target, Best Buy, Walmart, and more whe we find products at lower prices during Prime Day.
