UPDATE: Aug. 23, 2024, 11:40 a.m. EDT This article has been updated with the latest information about Prime Big Deal Days 2024, which has officially been announced by Amazon for this October.

With Amazon's 2024 Prime Day sale in the rearview, you may be wondering: When is the next Prime Day sale? Thankfully, we know the answer to that question (mostly).

As it turns out, another Prime-centric sale is just on the horizon. Amazon technically only hosts one official "Prime Day" per year (and always in mid-summer), but it's also gotten in the habit of hosting a second Prime Day-type sale in the fall. Amazon has confirmed that October's Prime Big Deal Days is returning for the third year in a row (formerly known as the "Prime Early Access Sale"), officially solidifying it as the retailer's annual "Prime Day Part 2" for the foreseeable future.

When is Prime Big Deal Days?

Prime Big Deal Days 2024 will take place this October. While we don't have official dates just yet, we think that we can make an educated guess as to when the big event will go live. The past two fall Prime Day events have run during the second week of the month on either Monday and Tuesday or Tuesday and Wednesday, and summer Prime Day typically runs on a Tuesday and Wednesday. So with that information, we can pretty confidently say that Prime Big Deal Days 2024 will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 8 and Wednesday, Oct. 9. Either that or right after Indigenous People's Day on Monday the 14th.

Amazon will likely use this October Prime event to kick off the Black Friday shopping season extra early, so it'll be a good time to start looking for holiday gifts and year-round lows on certain items. Plan your shopping list accordingly.

For all things Prime Big Deal Days, keep an eye on our continued coverage before, during, and after the big sale.

Can you shop Prime Big Deal Days 2024 if you're not a Prime member?

The Prime Big Deal Days sale is exclusive to Prime members, but fortunately, there's a workaround if you don't feel like committing to an annual or monthly subscription. Just use a free 30-day trial at the start of October and enjoy the sale as if you've always been a Prime member. Just remember to cancel it as soon as Prime Big Deal Days is over to avoid getting charged.

Frequently Asked Questions


Yep, Prime Day 2024 ended on Wednesday, July 17 at midnight for West Coasters (the wee hours of the morning for those in Eastern Time). If you missed it, you're in luck, because Prime Big Deal Days is coming in hot this October.


The sale officially called Prime Day happens once a year in the summer. However, that doesn't mean Prime Day-like deals can only be found then — Amazon has been holding another major sale event in the fall for the past two years, just under a different name (it was called the Prime Early Access Sale in 2022 and Prime Big Deal Days in 2023). But for all intents and purposes, the fall sale is a Prime Day 2. Amazon's Black Friday event is also a beast, where record-low prices that match (and sometimes beat) Prime Day pop up and stick around for just about the entire month of November.
