It’s official! Prime Day is coming on July 8 and will end on July 11, which means we’re getting a four-day event for the first time. We know it’s only June, but it’s never too early to begin thinking about saving money.
If you weren’t already aware, Prime Days are always Amazon’s biggest shopping events of the year. There are usually two Prime Day events dedicated to Prime members—one in July and another in October.
When is the first Prime Day 2025?
Amazon has announced the official Prime Day 2025 days. The sale event will start on July 8th and will end on July 11th, which means Amazon is giving Prime members the chance to get take advantage of tons of discounts over a four-day period. The kickoff for the first Prime Day of the year is in line with what we assumed it would be, while the four-day event confirms the rumors we’ve been hearing regarding the leght of the event.
When were Prime Days in year’s past?
In 2024, we had a couple of Prime Day events, one starting on July 16th and one on October 8th. Both lasted for 48 hours. Let’s dive into when previous Prime Day events took place:

How can you get deals on Amazon Prime Day?
As the name suggests, Prime Day events are dedicated to Amazon Prime members. If you’re not already subscribed, you can start a 30-day free trial at any time. Our suggestion, if you’re only going to do a trial, is to wait to sign up until late June to make the most of the sale event.
While the vast majority of discounts are targeted toward Prime members, there are loads of deals with no strings attached too.
Amazon Prime costs $14.99 per month or $139 for the whole year. There are student memberships available for $7.49 per month or $69 per year. Similar subscription prices are available for qualifying government assistance recipients.
What deals can you expect on Prime Day?
Prime Day is a prime (pun intended) time to purchase all the gear you’ve been eyeing but didn’t want to splurge on. From storage solutions (SSDs, portable SSDs, flash drives, microSDs) to monitors, from pricey laptops to Chromebooks, from gaming gear to smart home tech, from security cameras to webcams, and so on.
Oftentimes, Prime Day deals are better than Black Friday ones. At the very least, many products get new best price levels on Prime Day. Amazon’s own product lines, from Kindle e-readers to Ring cameras and Echo speakers often get fantastic discounts, as well.
