Amazon has just announced its third sale of the year: Prime Big Deals Day 2026. The online giant’s annual autumn event warms shoppers up to Black Friday, with offers across beauty, tech, appliances and books.

As a shopping editor who’s covered Amazon’s sale for six years, I can confirm it’s second only to Black Friday for covetable offers. Think generous savings on the Dyson Airwrap, money off Apple’s Airpods, and rare deals on a Kindle ereaders.

Amazon’s Prime Big Deals Day is the sale to bookmark if you’re thinking of making a big purchase. Previous sales have delivered some of the year's strongest savings on big brand names such as Oura or Sony, alongside discounts on Amazon’s own products (Kindles, Fire TV’s and more), Ring video doorbells, dehumidifiers and mascaras.

The catch? Offers are exclusively for Prime members – and the sale lasts just 48 hours,

So if you’ve been planning to upgrade your old TV or treat yourself to a new electric toothbrush, now’s the time. With years of experience as a shopping expert, I’ll be hand-picking the best discounts as they drop – and imparting my advice on how to navigate the event.

In the meantime, here’s everything you need to know about Amazon Prime Big Deals Day, from dates to the best early deals.

Air fryers may feel as though they’ve had their moment in the spotlight a while back, but they’re still very much the star of the kitchen, and Ninja continues to lead the pack.

With nearly 20 per cent off, it’s a deal worth snapping up before it disappears.
