Next Amazon sale: Black Friday, likely November 19–30
Dates fixed by the calendar are stated. Dates set by a retailer are only stated once that retailer has announced them. A guessed date is the single most-copied piece of wrong information in this category.
Black Friday
Friday, November 27, 2026
Black Friday 2026 falls on Friday, November 27, the day after the fourth Thursday in November, which is the rule that fixes it every year. Amazon has not announced its own sale dates; in 2024 and 2025 its Black Friday Week opened on the Thursday a week before Thanksgiving, which in 2026 is November 19.
Cyber Monday
Monday, November 30, 2026
Cyber Monday 2026 falls on Monday, November 30, the Monday after Thanksgiving, and in practice the online tail of the same sale.
Green Monday
Monday, December 14, 2026
Green Monday 2026 falls on Monday, December 14, the second Monday of December, the name eBay gave in 2007 to its best sales day of the month. It sits close to the last day ordinary shipping still arrives before Christmas.
After-Christmas sales
Saturday, December 26, 2026
After-Christmas sales start on Saturday, December 26, 2026, the day after Christmas. Amazon announces no sale of its own for those days in the US. The test for a price that week is the item’s own Black Friday low.
Presidents Day sales
Monday, February 15, 2027
Presidents Day 2027 falls on Monday, February 15, always the third Monday in February. The sales run across the long weekend before it, led by mattresses, appliances and the outgoing year’s TVs.
Memorial Day sales
Monday, May 31, 2027
Memorial Day 2027 falls on Monday, May 31, the last Monday in May. It opens the outdoor season, which is why the discounts here are shallower than Labor Day on the same goods.
Fourth of July sales
Sunday, July 4, 2027
The Fourth of July 2027 falls on a Sunday, so the holiday is observed on Monday, July 5, and the sales run across that long weekend. For anything Amazon sells, Prime Day has started within twelve days after it in four of the last five years.
Labor Day sales
Monday, September 6, 2027
Labor Day 2027 falls on Monday, September 6, always the first Monday in September. It is the last big appliance and mattress weekend before the autumn electronics cycle.
Prime Day
Mid-July is where nine of the twelve so far have landed. Amazon confirms the dates two to four weeks ahead, and the exact one goes here then.
Amazon has not announced Prime Day 2027. Its recent start days, moved to the 2027 calendar, give June 22–25 or July 13–16; nine of twelve ran in July.
Amazon Big Spring Sale
Late March is where all three so far have landed. Amazon announced the 2026 dates in mid-March, about a week ahead, and the exact date goes here then.
Amazon has not announced the Big Spring Sale 2027. All three held so far ran in March (March 20–25, 2024, then March 25–31 in both 2025 and 2026), so late March is the working assumption. Unlike Prime Day, it is open to every shopper.
Prime Big Deal Days
Tuesday, October 6, 2026
Prime Big Deal Days ran October 6–7, 2026. Which prices really fell.
