Prime Big Deal Days runs October 6 and 7, and Amazon’s early deals are already live. Prices marked “for Prime members” need a membership, and a free 30-day Prime trial covers the event for new members. Walmart’s sale starts October 5, and Target’s runs alongside Amazon’s. I rechecked every price below on October 4, and we’ll update this page as they change.

Amazon’s own gear has the deepest cuts, and all of it is open to everyone except the Fire HD 10 tablet.

Prime Big Deal Days 2026 FAQ

When is Prime Big Deal Days 2026, and when does it end?

Prime Big Deal Days runs Tuesday, October 6, and Wednesday, October 7. It starts at 12:01am PT on October 6 (3:01am ET) and ends at 11:59pm PT on October 7, which is 2:59am ET on Thursday, October 8. Early deals, like the Ring Battery Doorbell 2K at $39.99, are live now.

Do I need Prime to get Prime Big Deal Days deals?

Yes, for the event itself and for many of the best prices. The Roomba 105X Combo at $199.99 and the Dyson V8 at $269.99 are Prime-member prices, but the Fire TV Stick 4K Select at $17.99 and the Ring Battery Doorbell 2K are open to everyone right now.

Are there early Prime Big Deal Days deals?

Yes, and every deal in the lists above is live as of October 4. Amazon is advertising up to 50 percent off early deals on its own devices, including the Fire TV Cube at $89.99, and brands like Shark, Ninja, Breville, and Sonicare already have sale prices.

Is Amazon having another Prime Day in 2026?

Prime Big Deal Days is Amazon’s October sale, and it’s the one happening October 6 and 7. The early picks to grab first are the Dyson V8 at $269.99 for Prime members and the Echo Show 11 at $149.99 for everyone.

What other sales are happening during Prime Big Deal Days?

Walmart’s deals event runs October 5 through 11, starting at 12am ET, and doesn’t require a membership. Target Circle Deal Days runs October 6 and 7 for free Target Circle and Circle 360 members, and some Target early deals are already live. Walmart+ members get advanced access to Walmart’s sale.

Should I buy now or wait for Black Friday?

Buy now if the discount is already deep and you want the item before the holidays, like the Sonicare DiamondClean 9500 at $149.96 for Prime members. Prices can change once the event starts on October 6, and I can’t say whether Black Friday will beat them.
