Upgrade your tech with the best Prime Day Amazon Fire Tablet deals
Everyone knows that Amazon loves to discount its own devices during its Prime Day events. So far, though, the early Prime Day tablet deals are a little thin on the ground, at least where Amazon's Fire Tablet line is concerned. There's one excellent standout right now, and it's the Amazon Fire 7 Kids tablet at 50% off, which is a solid drop on a family-friendly pick anyone could use.
Beyond that, most of what we're seeing on Fire tablets is bundle-based rather than straight markdowns, so the value you'll get per bundle depends on whether you actually want the extras. But you can expect the selection to widen dramatically as we get closer to the main event.
Mashable's team of shopping experts is tracking the best early Prime Day Fire tablet deals as they land. We'll likely see even more pop up in the next week or so, so keep an eye out for additional savings.

It also features a 10-hour battery so you don't have to keep recharging it. And if you want to use it yourself, it's still a great casual tablet that can do all you want it to do.

Plus, they're lightweight and easy to attach to a bag or drop into luggage for simple tracking.
The best streaming stick deals on Prime Day: Grab a streaming stick for as low as $16
If you're not ready to completely replace your old TV (and dish out the money to do so), but you want a speedier, more modern streaming experience, grabbing a streaming stick is the move. Their simple plug-and-play design can completely transform any TV with an HDMI port for a whole lot cheaper than getting a new one — especially if you grab one during Prime Day.
While Prime Day doesn't officially kick off until June 23, our shopping team has spotted lots of early deals worth grabbing. From streaming services to devices, I'll be tracking all of the best streaming deals throughout the Amazon Prime Day shopping event. And yes, there are also plenty of TV deals up for grabs if you are ready to take the leap.
While Amazon Fire TV Sticks are definitely running the show so far, I'll be keeping an eye out for more Roku, Google, and Apple TV streaming devices as we inch closer to the official event.

The Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is the most affordable Fire TV Stick in Amazon's lineup that offers 4K quality with HDR10+ support, as well as Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. It still features the old Android-based operating system, which can be slightly laggy, but overall it's well-loved by many longtime users. It also still allows for sideloading apps if you're into that. (Starting with the 4K Select model, all future Fire TV Sticks will switch to the Linux-based Vega operating system).
Be sure to click on the "redeem" button next to the on-page coupon code underneath the Prime logo and pricing details to score 50% off this streaming stick ahead of Prime Day. While there's a chance we could see an even lower price come Prime Day proper, this is currently its lowest price on record.

The best Prime Day streaming deals are live: 10+ subscriptions for less than $1
Last year, Amazon surprised us by dropping a boatload of Prime Day streaming deals for the first time. In 2026, it's basically rinse and repeat. And that's not a bad thing.
Prime Day isn't just for deals on TVs and headphones anymore — it's also a great time to load up your digital libraries with streaming subscriptions, so long as you're a Prime member. (Not yet a member? Sign up here.) One of the biggest perks of having a Prime account is gaining access to Prime Video, Amazon's own streaming service. While Prime Video itself isn't on sale, tons of subscription add-ons are, including premium options like Apple TV, AMC+, and Paramount+.
In the days leading up to the official Prime Day kickoff (which takes place June 23 through 26 this year), HBO Max also dropped a killer deal. We wouldn't be surprised if even more streamers toss their hats in the ring to compete as we inch closer to the big day.
We'll be keeping an eye out for you, and updating this list as any new streaming deals roll in. While we're not expecting Black Friday-level deals, this will likely be your only chance to snag a steep discount until the end of the year — so, act fast if you see a deal you like.
Best Prime Day long-term streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: HBO Max HBO Max 40% off annual subscriptions Get Deal Opens in a new window Credit: HBO Max HBO Max (Prime Video add-on) 40% off annual subscriptions Get Deal Why we like itHBO Max always gives us one of the best streaming deals for Black Friday, but this is the first time it's decided to hop aboard the Prime Day express. And it's kicking off its Prime Day deal debut with a bang: new and returning subscribers can get any annual subscription for 40% off. Yes, that means this deal isn't just limited to the ad-supported tier like it is on Black Friday.
Typically, HBO Max annual subscriptions cost $109.99 for the Basic with ads tier, $184.99 for Standard (no ads), and $229.99 for Premium (no ads + 4K). Through July 15, however, you'll only pay $78.99, $132.99, or $164.99, respectively. After your first year, your subscription will revert to full price unless you cancel. Still, that's 12 whole months of streaming for 40% less than usual.
Psst: If you don't want to deal with logging into another streaming service, this deal is also available in the form of a Prime Video add-on.
Best Prime Day streaming add-on deal Paramount+ streaming deals: Standalone deal Paramount+ Premium $0.99/month for 2 months (save $13/month) Get Deal prime video add-on Paramount+ (Prime Video add-on) $0.99/month for 2 months (save $13/month) Get Deal Roku add-on Paramount+ Premium (Roku add-on) $0.99/month for 2 months (save $13/month) Get Deal Why we like itLike clockwork, we can always count on Paramount+ to dish out one of the best streaming deals during major shopping events. The streamer has resurrected the exact same streaming deal from last Prime Day for 2026, only this time it's technically a better offer since Paramount+ raised its prices earlier this year. Typically $13.99 per month for a Premium subscription (that's the ad-free tier with Showtime), you'll get two months for just 99 cents a piece. That saves you $26 total.
The Paramount+ library is surprisingly robust. Premium subscribers can enjoy Paramount+ Originals like Landman and RuPaul Drag Race All Stars, Showtime series like Dexter Resurrection and Yellowjackets, CBS shows like Survivor and Big Brother live, UFC fights, and nostalgic shows from Nickelodeon and MTV. That's not even counting the massive movie lineup (including Paramount Pictures movies straight from the theater).
The discount is only valid through the end of Prime Day on June 26, so be sure to sign up before then. You can grab the deal directly through Paramount+ itself or as a subscription add-on via Prime Video or Roku.
Best Prime Day music streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Music Unlimited Amazon Music Unlimited free for 4 months (save $11.99/month) Get Deal Why we like itIf you're not committed to a music streamer, now's a good time to check out Amazon Music Unlimited without spending a cent. Through June 29, new subscribers can secure four free months. Typically $11.99 per month for Prime members, that's a total of $47.96 in savings. Amazon Music Unlimited unlocks a massive music catalog that you can listen to on-demand, ad-free, and in the highest quality possible. Beyond music itself, Unlimited subscriptions also include "the most ad-free podcasts" of any of the major music apps, as well as one free audiobook per month via Audible. Even if you do already subscribe to another music streaming service, it's worth it to take a pause from payments for four months and lock in this deal.

Prime Day toy deals are live: Shop Lego, Pokémon, and more at low prices
Prime Day officially starts really soon, and Amazon is doing the most to keep us on edge. We're already seeing major discounts on items that usually don't drop in price until the actual event (almost every Fitbit is on sale right now!), and those markdowns are slowly trickling into other categories, including Lego, Pokémon, and other top-tier toys.
Whether you have a little one at home or you're a proud auntie like me and you need to pick up a birthday gift or a little "just because" treat, now's the time to start browsing.

Best deal overall Toniebox 1 Audio Player Starter Set with Playtime Puppy $79.99 at Amazon$99.99 Save $20 Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it
If you're looking for a "toy" that isn't really a toy, then the Toniebox is the way to go. It's a Mashable fave (our Director of Special Projects Nicole Cammorata swears by these little things), and it's on sale ahead of Prime Day. The Toniebox 1 is an earlier version of the collection, but it still has all the bells and whistles you need to give your kid a screen-free listening experience.
It's basically a soft, huggable little speaker that's super easy for young kids to operate on their own. You just pop the included Playtime Puppy figure on top, and it automatically starts playing songs and stories. They can even squeeze the little ears on the box to adjust the volume, or tap the sides to skip tracks.
Best Lego deal Lego Classic Large Creative Brick Box (10698) $33.49 at Walmart$79.99 Save $46.50 Get Deal at Walmart Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it
Lego sets are by far one of the most popular toys out there for both kids and adults. Every time I see my nephew, I take him to the local BrickinBad to pick out a set that we can build as soon as we get back to my apartment. The only problem is that Legos are notoriously expensive, so whenever they actually go on sale, it's a huge win.
If you're looking for a set that's suitable for all ages and offers hours of open-ended playtime without the headache of lengthy instructions, the Lego Classic Large Creative Brick Box is my go-to. My nephew has this exact box, and he will just sit there for hours building his own little world.
Best Pokémon deal Funko Pop! Games: Pokémon Ivysaur Figure $8.84 at Amazon$14.99 Save $6.15 Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it
If your kid is into Pokémon but isn't quite old enough to start keeping track of actual trading cards, they'll probably be just as happy with this Funko Pop! Ivysaur figure. It's a fun, inexpensive way to let them have their own Pokémon merch without you having to worry about a rare card getting bent in half or lost at the playground. (My nephew has this one, too!)

Amazon’s latest Prime Day sale is almost here, steadily building up to several days of huge deals on appliances, gadgets, and of course, offers on PS5 games, accessories, consoles, and more.
While the actual four-day Prime Day doesn't start until June 23, Amazon and third-party sellers are already dropping plenty of deals to save you cash ahead of the rush. The key thing to keep in mind when it comes to shopping for PlayStation is that there can be a lot of price drops on off-brand products to sift through. Luckily, Mashable has done that on your behalf — and will do so throughout the sale.

Tons of Fitbits are on sale for Prime Day
Amazon's Prime Day sales event is right around the corner (I can't believe it's that time of year again!), and I'm genuinely shocked by the deals we're seeing this early in the game.
SEE ALSO: Amazon's early Prime Day deals include some great options for Father's DayUsually, Amazon doesn't put Fitbits on sale until the very last minute, and then they're gone. (And some years, they don't go on sale at all.) But right now, we're seeing all-time lows on select Fitbit models, including the Charge 6.
Here are the best early Prime Day Fitbit deals you can shop right now:
Best deal overall Fitbit Charge 6 $89.95 at Amazon$159.95 Save $70.00 Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it
The Fitbit Charge 6 isn't the newest Fitbit on the market, but it still has (almost) everything you'd need in a smart wearable. (I say almost because the Fitbit Charge 6 doesn't have an altimeter, but if you're not a trail runner, this probably isn't a deal breaker.)
The Charge 6 tracks your calories, steps, sleep, heart rate, and more. It also has built-in GPS, 40+ exercise modes, a seven-day battery life, and includes a three-month Google Health Premium (formerly Fitbit Premium) membership. Once the three months are up, you'll need to either cancel or renew for $9.99 per month or $99.99 annually.
Right now, you can get the Fitbit Charge 6 for $99.95 at Amazon. This is the lowest price we've tracked on this model since its release in 2023.
Best runner-up deal Opens in a new window Credit: Fitbit Fitbit Versa 4 $149.95$199.95 Save $50 Get Deal Why we like it
If you're willing to spend a little bit more, the Fitbit Versa 4 is on sale for $149.95. This isn't the lowest price we've seen (it was $104.96 in April 2024), but it's still a pretty good deal.
Unlike the Charge 6, the Versa 4 has an altimeter and Bluetooth wrist calling. So, if you're looking for a wearable that acts more like a smartwatch, the Versa 4 might be the better buy. That said, it doesn't have the more "serious" health sensor that the Charge 6 does (e.g., ECG and EDA).
The Versa 4 also comes with three months of Google Health Premium.
Best budget deal Fitbit Inspire 3 $69.95 at Amazon$99.95 Save $30 Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Walmart Why we like it
If you're just looking for something that's affordable and efficient, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is your best option at $79.95.
It's a no-frills fitness tracker that'll give you the basic features you need to stay on top of your health. It can track your heart rate, steps, and stress levels. (It also offers menstrual health tracking, which is nice.)
You'll also get 10 full days of battery life and, like the other models mentioned above, three free months of Google Health Premium.
See all with these Prime Day deals on smart glasses
Smart glasses are one of the buzzier gadget categories going into Prime Day, so it's a good idea to start watching and tracking how low prices will go. Right now, in these early days of the sale, the discounts are still pretty modest, which is good news if you've been on the fence about buying in.
A few pairs, like the first-gen Ray-Ban Meta glasses, have dipped a little. So there are already discounts to shop if you're ready to buy. For everyone else, this is a great moment to lock in what you want now and pounce the second deeper discounts make their debut.
Mashable's team of shopping experts is keeping a close eye on the best early Prime Day smart glasses deals as they roll in. We'll keep updating this page with additional discounts as we find them.
Best overall smart glasses deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 1) Smart Glasses $277.69 at Amazon$299 Save $21.31 Get Deal Why we like it
If you're just now getting into the smart glasses game, you're in luck: the most popular pair is on sale right now. You can get a pair of first-generation Ray-Ban Meta glasses to try out and see what all the fuss is about. They let you take photos and videos, listen to music, make calls, or even ask Meta AI questions while you're wearing them. They feature an ultra-wide 12MP camera with a five-mic system so you can also livestream what you're seeing, all hands-free. They even offer live translation, so you can take part in conversations even when Wi-Fi isn't available. It's all about convenience, and if you're dipping your toes in the world of smart glasses, this is the best place to start.
Best splurge smart glasses deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Viture Beast XR/AR Glasses $549 at Amazon$689 Save $140 Get Deal Why we like it
These glasses are all about giving you the biggest, brightest display you can get from a pair of XR/AR glasses. They offer a 174-inch display with a 58-inch FOV, with a brightness of 1250 nits and powered by Sony micro-OLED. You can pin, resize, and lock the massive screen as if you were standing in front of it, to make whatever you decide to watch, whether it's a meeting or a movie, feel larger than life. It has a 120Hz refresh rate, 9-level dimming, and auto-transparency as well, with deep, satisfying bass and the ability to turn any 2D content into 3D. These are the glasses you get if you're serious about what you're watching, and you can save a bit of cash on them thanks to Prime Day.

These glasses may not come from Ray-Ban and Meta, but they're still worth a look. They offer an 8MP HD camera with 2K footage recording as well as connectivity with ChatGPT, so you can ask questions and get things done on the go. They also feature AI photo recognition and real-time translation as well as dual-mic noise cancellation and beamforming technology for taking calls or streaming on the go.
I test vacuums professionally, and I found the 10+ best on sale during Prime Day 2026
As someone who tests new vacuums every month, I could easily make a case for why robot vacuums are better or why cordless vacuums are better. If you're having trouble deciding, my ultimate advice is always just to get both — I promise there are budget-friendly ways to do so, especially when so many good vacuums are on sale for Prime Day.
Should I get a robot vacuum or stick vacuum?A robot vacuum is the way to go if you know, deep down, that the only way your home will be vacuumed every day is if a robot does it. A cordless vacuum is the way to go if you're picky about cleanliness and find the chore to be cathartic rather than tedious. If you feel passionately about one side, there are plenty of deals on splurge-worthy vacuums that I've tested like the Dyson V15 Detect Extra or Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete.
But most people can probably see themselves wanting access to both types of vacuums, depending on how busy their day is. In that case, I'd recommend splitting your vacuum budget. Instead of spending $700 to $1,000 on one really nice vacuum, you could buy a budget-friendly stick vacuum like the $269.99 Shark Clean & Empty and a budget-friendly robot vacuum like the $399.99 Dreame D30 Ultra CE. Both are still incredibly powerful for their price, and there will be a ton of mix-and-match options as more vacuum deals pop up through the end of Prime Day on June 27.
Best cordless vacuum deal Opens in a new window Credit: Shark Shark PowerDetect Speed — Luxe Collection $399.99 at SharkNinja$499.99 Save $100 Get Deal Why we like it
For years, we've been conditioned to shove ugly vacuums into closets when not in use — or let the plasticky gray or black designs sit out in the living space, regardless of how badly they clash with our decor. That changed when Shark released its Luxe Collection at the beginning of June. Its powerful self-emptying PowerDetect Speed stick vacuum now comes in four chic earth tones: Oatstone, Harbor Slate, Walnut, and Sagewood. They're all $100 off at SharkNinja.
The Sagewood vacuum matches my jewel-toned living room deliciously. Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable If I'm going to let a vacuum be this visible, it needs to be this pretty. Credit: Leah Stodart / MashableNot only are these Shark PowerDetect Speed models the prettiest vacuums I've ever seen, but the Shark PowerDetect Speed is the best cordless vacuum for pet hair on carpet that I've ever tested. The suction power is palpable in your hand, but it's not so intense that the vacuum gets jammed on carpet. All debris is automatically emptied into the storage dock each time you hang it up, so your next cleaning session will always start with a clean slate. You'll easily be able to see just how much gunk was sucked up from each room, specifically.

$799.99 Save $350 Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Eufy Why we like it
I tested and loved the Eufy C28 when it came out in February 2026. And I have a feeling it'll remain one of my most recommended robot vacuum and mop combos for the next year or so.
The Eufy C28 is probably the most affordable roller mop robot vacuum you'll find, and easily the most heavy-duty mopping robot vacuum out there this season. The fluffy roller spans the entire bottom of the vacuum and rinses itself with fresh water as it's mopping, making it a far more reliable choice for soaking up large liquid spills (without smearing them around) than other cheap mopping robot vacuums. Its self-emptying dock also washes and dries the mop after each cleaning, so it's easier to forgive how painfully loud it is.

Best Prime Day Ninja deals: Save over $100 on a 10-in-1 air fryer
Ninja makes some of our favorite kitchen appliances. The Creami is the buzziest of Ninja's appliances, but the brand also makes top-notch espresso machines, air fryers, blenders, and cookware. With Prime Day coming June 23 to 26, we're looking out for all the best home and kitchen deals, and Ninja has some standout early deals.
We're still a couple of weeks out from Prime Day, but right now you can save over $100 on Ninja appliances. The big stuff like the Ninja Creami and Slushi aren't on sale yet, but if you want an air fryer, you've got plenty of options. Here are all the best early Prime Day deals on Ninja appliances.

Your air fryer should be doing a lot more than air frying. With a combo machine like the Ninja Foodi DT251 10-in-1 Smart XL Air Fryer, you're basically getting a second oven. In addition to air frying, you can bake, broil, toast, and roast all in one machine, plus it comes with a built-in thermometer so you always know when your food is done — aka no more undercooked meat anxiety.
Ahead of Prime Day, the Ninja Foodi DT251 10-in-1 Smart XL Air Fryer is the best Ninja deal to shop. Normally $379.99, get it for just $249.98, saving you $130.01. And there are plenty of other great deals, including 30% off the Ninja Blast Max Portable Blender and Ninja ProChef Wireless Meat Thermometer.

Take it from a pro vacuum reviewer: The best Prime Day Dyson deals arent at Amazon
Dyson feels like one of those brands that'd be everywhere you look during an event like Prime Day. Amazon is a decent spot to find deals on the Dyson Supersonic or Airwrap, but historically, Amazon isn't known for its amazing deals on Dyson vacuums.
Instead, Dyson's website often takes Amazon's sale events as a sign to hold a big sale of its own. Sure enough, a big Dyson sale event with exclusive savings is live from June 21 to 27 this year — the same week as Prime Day, running June 23 to 26.
SEE ALSO: Dyson V16 Piston Animal first impressions: A new apex Dyson vacuum has entered the villa What Dyson vacuum should I buy on Prime Day?While a few Dyson models are some of the best cordless vacuums you can buy overall, not every Dyson vacuum is worth your money just because it's on sale. For example, the Dyson V8 Absolute's $349.99 sale price looks amazing, right? How can you pass up a $240 discount on a Dyson vacuum?
You may or may not have heard that Dyson just released three new stick vacuums at the beginning of June. One of them is a revamped version of the Dyson V8, offering 30 percent more suction power and nearly double the battery life of older V8 models. The new Dyson V8 Cyclone only costs $399.99 — just $50 more than the weaker V8 Absolute model that's on sale. Plus, a self-emptying docking station for the V8 Cyclone is coming in August.
So far, here are the best early Prime Day deals on Dyson vacuums, hair tools, and fans:
Best Dyson vacuum deal Opens in a new window Credit: Dyson Dyson V12 Detect Slim $479.99 at Dyson$729.99 Save $250 Get Deal Why we like it
Any time my favorite vacuum ever gets several hundred dollars cheaper, it's going to be the first deal I recommend. The Dyson V12 Detect Slim on sale for $479.99 makes it $20 cheaper than the Dyson V10 Konical that just came out (at full price, it's the new cheapest Dyson with a laser). The V12 Detect Slim has 150 AW (air watts) of suction power and 60 minutes of run time.
The laser, which illuminates tiny specks and hair that aren't super visible to the naked eye, should be an immediate selling point for any household with pets and a lot of hard floors. You have no idea how dusty your floors get within even 24 hours.
When I'm not using it on the floor in those daily sessions, I'm switching it to handheld mode to clean fur off the couch with the mini motorized attachment or clean out my car with the crevice attachment. It's compact and lightweight enough to comfortably hold with one hand (I can't say the same about the massive Gen5 Dysons or Dyson V16 Piston Animal).

Another pro tip: I wouldn't recommend the Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai even if you see it on sale — there are more reliable robot vacuums on sale at Amazon that offer a much better bang for your buck.
Home Depot is giving away free power tools over Prime Day — how to claim yours
Prime Day is almost here. All eyes are on Amazon, but smart shopper know it's wise to check out other retailers.
Home Depot is packed with excellent deals right now, and some of them beat Amazon's early Prime Day offerings. That's especially true if you like getting free power tools.

40+ Best Buy deals that match or beat Amazons Prime Day deals
Prime Day is just around the corner, but it won't be the only huge sale we get this month. Other major retailers are planning to host competing sales that run alongside Amazon's festivities, turning late June into a savings smorgasbord.
Best Buy, for its part, will be running a weeklong "Tech Fest" sale from June 22 to 28. (It's almost double the length of Prime Day 2026, which goes from June 23 to 26.) Historically, the tech retailer has been one of Amazon's biggest rivals when it comes to Prime Day counter-programming, and I expect that to be the case again this year.
SEE ALSO: Prime Day is next week: Here are 20+ early deals to start shopping nowAlready, the competition between the two retailers is vicious. Having spent several hours cross-checking their prices on popular gadgets, I've found many instances where Amazon is undercutting Best Buy by anywhere from two bucks to two cents. (That's just petty.) For now, its early Prime Day deals seem to be generally better the Best Buy's pre-Tech Fest offers.
That said, I've managed to scrounge up over 40 products that are price-matched or cheaper at Best Buy, or available exclusively there because Amazon's inventory has dried up. (There are some really good deals on older Apple devices that Amazon no longer stocks in new condition, including the M4 MacBook Air and M3 iPad Air.)
Check out the full list below. Just keep in mind that prices could get even better once Tech Fest officially begins next week.

Target Circle Deal Days sale starts June 23: The best deals are now live
It's no surprise that Amazon's Prime Day sparks an avalanche of competing sales. At this point, Amazon has basically created a new Black Friday-type event for the summer. Best Buy and The Home Depot run competing sales, and Target's is coming soon. Target Circle Deal Days is meant to celebrate the big box store's most dedicated shoppers, bringing a whole lot of savings into a four-day span.
So, what should you expect from Target Circle Deal Days 2026? While the sale hasn't officially started, the retailer has teased the deals to come, which includes up to 40% off on daily deals — plus some free treats from Starbucks. If you're a fan of the bullseye brand, here's everything to know about the Target Circle Deal Days event.
When is Target Circle Deal Days?Target's Circle Deal Days runs June 23 to 26, the exact same time as Prime Day. However, unlike Prime Day, which takes place exclusively online, you can shop Target's Sale in person, too.
What deals to shop during Circle Deal DaysWhile we wait for Target Circle Deal Days to go live on June 23, we're anticipating the deals to come. Here's what Target says to expect:
On June 23, get a free Starbucks cookie or coffee at Starbucks Cafes inside Target stores
Like Prime Day, which requires a Prime membership to shop, you must be a Circle member to take full advantage of Target's Circle Deal Days. The good news is, unlike Amazon's paid membership, Circle membership is totally free and essentially pays you back just by shopping at Target.
There is a paid membership option at Target, Circle 360, which is more similar to a Prime or Walmart+ membership. Circle 360 gets you unlimited same-day delivery, free two-day shipping, and an extended two-day windows. Normally $99, during Circle Deal Days, subscribe to Circle 360 for just $49.
Everything to know about Amazon Prime Day: Dates, competition, and the best deals to shop
Prime Day is nearly upon us. The massive members-only sale is Amazon's biggest savings event of the season and your best chance for some summer inflation relief.
Prime Day typically triggers some of the best, most add-to-cart-worthy deals on smart home devices, Kindles, Apple gadgets, robot vacuums, headphones, and other popular tech outside of Black Friday. And this year, it's happening a little earlier an usual. (What's the deal with that? Keep reading.)
Mashable's shopping reporters and editors have been covering Prime Day since 2018. Here's what we think you should know about this year's sale ahead of time. Plus, check out our dedicated guide to the top early Prime Day deals you can shop already.
When is Prime Day 2026?Amazon's twelfth annual Prime Day sale runs from June 23 to 26. For the second year in a row, the flagship summer savings event will last four days, up from its original two.
What's different about Prime Day this year? Prime Day 2026 got bumped up to June. Credit: Ian Moore / Mashable / Adobe StockAs mentioned, Prime Day 2026 is happening early. Historically, the sale has almost always fallen in mid-July, not late June.
Speaking to Reuters this month, Jamil Ghani, worldwide VP of Amazon Prime, said the FIFA World Cup and the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence were factors in the company's decision to move up Prime Day. Both events are also happening in July. (The World Cup runs through July 19, while the U.S. Semiquincentennial is on July 4.)
SEE ALSO: Why did Amazon Prime Day shift to June? Here's what the company has said (and not said).Amazon hasn't said as much, but its reasoning there seems to be to position Prime Day as a "stock up for the party" opportunity. Among other products, shoppers will be able to save on groceries and other household essentials for celebrations around July's festivities. Amazon has been going especially hard in the grocery space in recent years.
Speaking of: For the first time ever, Amazon is giving away a free year's worth of groceries (via $10,000 in gift cards) ahead of Prime Day this year. You'll be automatically entered to win if you spend at least $15 on groceries, beauty products, personal care items, and/or pet supplies on Amazon now through June 22, the day before Prime Day begins.
What are the best early Prime Day deals?Amazon is heavily discounting its own devices and services in the lead-up to Prime Day. Early birds can save up to 65% on its Echo smart speakers and displays, Kindle e-readers (plus Kindle bundles), Fire TVs and streaming sticks, Blink home security gadgets, and eero mesh WiFi systems.

What will be the best deals on Prime Day? Lots of popular devices drop to record-low prices every Prime Day. Credit: Ian Moore / Mashable composite; Sony, Amazon, DJI, SamsungAmazon plans on dropping new Prime Day deals "as often as every five minutes during select periods" during the sale, according to a company blog post. A handful of these offers will get a "Today’s Big Deals" label, which identifies limited-time discounts "featuring exclusive products and trending new releases from brands members love, many at more than 50% off," Amazon said. These deals will go live three times a day throughout Prime Day at 3 a.m. ET, 11 a.m. ET, and 4 p.m. ET — set an alarm.

Other major retailers have always run their own competing sales alongside Prime Day. That will still be the case this year despite the timing change.
Best Buy is having a weeklong Tech Fest sale from June 22 to 28. (It's almost twice as long as Prime Day.) It will probably be Amazon's toughest competition when it comes to deals on big-ticket tech: Look for discounts of up to 50% on laptops, TVs, gaming gear, headphones, and small appliances, including fleeting Deals of the Day. The sale isn't locked to paid Plus and Total members of the My Best Buy program, but they'll be eligible for some extra discounts and rewards.
Walmart will host a concurrent Summer Deals event from June 22 to 28, offering "thousands of offers across top brands, popular categories, and early back-to-school essentials," to quote a company press release. Those deals will be available both in stores and online. Members of its Walmart+ program get exclusive early access to a batch of "Hot Deal Drops" on the first day of the sale, which will only be available while supplies last. (Otherwise, the sale is open to everyone.) For a limited time, shoppers who haven't signed up yet can save 50% on an annual Walmart+ membership.
SEE ALSO: 40+ Best Buy deals that match or beat Amazon's early Prime Day dealsTarget is giving Amazon a run for its money with a Target Circle Deal Days sale from June 23 to 26, the exact same days as Prime Day. Members of its free-to-join Target Circle loyalty program will be able to save up to 45% on "thousands of items across apparel, beauty, home, toys, and essentials" in stores and online, according to a press release. It also plans to offer rotating Deals of the Day.
Target might be trying the hardest to lure shoppers away from Amazon. If you show up in person at select Target stores on the first day of Circle Deal Days, you'll get a free hot or iced coffee or a free cookie, so long as you're a Circle member. Those who join the program between now and June 22 will get 15% off their next purchase.
How many times a year is Prime Day?Amazon's main Prime Day sale only happens once a year, but the company usually hosts two other Prime events a few months before and after it. One is the Big Spring Sale, which runs late March, and the other is Prime Big Deal Days in October, just before Black Friday.
Can anyone shop Prime Day deals?Prime Day deals are exclusive to Prime members — but that includes paid and trial members, so it's possible to participate for free.

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.
There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.
An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.
