Amazon’s next Prime Day sale takes place on October 8 and 9

It’s official: Amazon’s second Prime Day event of the year is happening in early October. The two-day shopping event — which Amazon is calling Prime Big Deal Days for the second year in a row — kicks off on Tuesday, Oct. 8 at 12:01am PT / 3:01am ET and runs through Wednesday, Oct. 9, the company announced Tuesday.

Like last year, Amazon is running the 48-hour promotion in an effort to kick off the holiday season, giving Amazon Prime members another chance outside of Prime Day to save on everything from home goods to everyday essentials. While we typically see the lowest sale prices during Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday, Amazon’s fall sale often offers solid deals on a range of tech, including all-time lows on Amazon devices and discounts from third-party sellers.

This time around, Amazon says it will offer up to 55 percent off select Amazon devices, including security cameras like the Blink Outdoor 4, Fire TVs, Eero mesh Wi-Fi systems and controllers for its cloud gaming service Luna. You can also expect deals from independent sellers and a medley of non-Amazon brands including Lego, Fujifilm, Samsung, Beats and more, some of which will be available in the lead-up to the event. Amazon will also be running exclusive promotions on a variety of digital goods and services, including Grubhub Plus and Amazon Music, the latter of which will be free for a limited time to new subscribers.

Of course, the big caveat to Prime Big Deal Days is that most of the deals require an Amazon Prime subscription, which costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year. That said, not all deals require a membership, and it’s likely we’ll see similar sales at Walmart, Best Buy, and other retailers looking to compete with Amazon’s Prime Day in October.

Like Amazon’s most recent Prime Day event in July, Prime Big Deal Days will take place in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, France, Spain, Germany, Sweden, Poland and a handful of other regions around the world. (Amazon says it will hold a separate Prime Day event in Japan later in October.) As usual, we’ll be announcing all the best deals on 4K TVs, laptops, noise-canceling earbuds and other tech leading up to the main event on October 8, so stay tuned to our deal coverage to see what Amazon has in store.
