Mark your calendars for a major shopping event this fall. Amazon Prime Day 2025 kicks off on October 7th, offering two full days of exclusive discounts for Prime members. The sale begins at 12:01 AM Pacific Time and runs through October 8th, giving shoppers ample opportunity to grab impressive deals on electronics, home goods, and more.
This autumn shopping event, officially named Prime Big Deal Days, is notably shorter than July’s extended Prime Day but still packs a serious punch. It serves as an excellent chance for members to save significantly ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Last year’s event featured some of the best prices we’ve seen on popular tech, including iPads and AirPods, and expectations are high for similar standout offers this season.
Historically, Prime Day has brought steep discounts from leading brands like Samsung, Apple, and Beats, alongside record-low pricing on Amazon’s own devices. While these promotions are reserved for Prime subscribers, competing retailers such as Best Buy and Walmart frequently launch their own simultaneous sales, providing plenty of alternatives for bargain hunters.
A Prime membership currently costs $14.99 per month or $139 annually. Younger shoppers between 18 and 24 can take advantage of a special offer: a free six-month trial, followed by a discounted rate of just $7.49 per month. The sale will be available to shoppers across the US, UK, Australia, and numerous other countries, with Colombia, Ireland, and Mexico joining the event for the first time.
Just before the shopping frenzy begins, Amazon will host its fall hardware event on September 30th. This showcase typically introduces new Echo devices, Fire TV products, Kindle readers, and other gadgets. It’s likely that some of these newly announced items will receive their first discounts during Prime Big Deal Days, making it an ideal time to upgrade your tech.
