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.

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.

While 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

• Get 50% off one year of Circle 360

• 40% off select women's clothing

• 40% off outdoor toys & coolers

• 40% off Threshold bedding & bath items

• 40% off select baby clothing

• 40% off backpacks and supplies

• 40% off select beauty products

• 40% off select action figures

• 40% off select luggages

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.

Tesla, one of several businesses owned by now-trillionaire Elon Musk, has been implicated in another deadly crash involving the vehicles' autopilot driving mode.

On June 19, a driver in a Tesla Model 3 crashed into a Texas home, killing a 76-year-old female resident. According to Harris County Sheriff's authorities, the driver was using "an automated driving assistance system" that failed to remain in its lane and instead veered into the residence at a deadly speed. The driver did not show signs of drug or alcohol impairment, according to reports.

It's not yet confirmed if the driver had attempted to break or disengage the autopilot mode before the crash.

Tesla has faced several legal fights over its fleet of self-driving vehicles and robotaxis, including a 2025 decision that found the company partially responsible for a fatal autopilot-related crash in Florida. Despite regulator pushback, the company has fought to retain the right to refer to its systems, including Tesla's Full Self-Driving Capability (FSD), as an "autopilot" mode.

Days before the Texas accident, European traffic safety authorities accused Tesla of exaggerating the safety record of FSD vehicles in documents presented to regulators in Switzerland and the Netherlands. The document suggested that FSD fleets could have "saved 32,000 lives and prevented 1.9 million injuries" in the U.S., Reuters reported, but independent researchers told the publication that the claims are misleading.

While autonomous vehicle fleets are rapidly expanding across the U.S., many riders are still skeptical about their safety. On June 18, robotaxi giant Waymo announced it was recalling 3,900 vehicles after several incidents in Arizona and California showed the cars' self-driving software failed to recognize ramp closures and construction zones.
