It’s official: Amazon is hosting a second Prime Day this year in October. The retailer is calling the event Prime Big Deal Days and we’re guessing it’ll have a similar structure to last year’s Prime Early Access Sale (a.k.a. October Prime Day). The 48-hour event starts October 10, and will be another opportunity for shoppers to score deals on hundreds of products before the holidays begin.

Last year’s October Prime Day featured thousands of awesome deals similar to the ones available during the summer event. It also served as the unofficial kickoff to holiday shopping, allowing Prime members to get a head start on buying gifts before Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Below, we’ve answered all of your burning questions regarding this year’s Prime Big Deal Days (that we know so far). Plus, check out some deals you can shop right now.
Is There An Amazon Prime Day In October?
Yes, sort of. Earlier this month, Amazon announced that it will be hosting a Prime Big Deal Days sale this October, which should be very similar to traditional Prime Day sales. The retailer just released the official dates as October 10 to 11 and has promised to share more details as the event draws closer—so stay tuned to find out whether the scope of the deals will be similar to what we saw in July.
When Is Prime Big Deal Days?
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days will take place on October 10 to 11 this year. But, based on prior years, you’ll likely be able to shop some deals leading up to and following the official sale dates.
How Long Is Prime Big Deal Days?
Like Prime Day and October Prime Day last year, Prime Big Deal Days will be a two-day event starting October 10. The best deals don’t typically last long, so we recommend you plan ahead to make the most of the sale.
What Will Be On Sale For Prime Big Deal Days?
We don’t have a list of included brands or specific deals for the October Amazon sale yet, but we can make some guesses based on the site’s typical offers. Here are some items that you’re likely to see discounted during the event:
Amazon Devices
If you’ve been eyeing an Echo Show or a Ring Doorbell, you may want to wait until October to add it to your cart. Prime Day sales typically bring about the lowest prices of the year on Amazon devices, and Prime Big Deal Days will likely be no different.
Kitchen Gadgets
Last year’s October Prime Day brought about great prices on blenders, air fryers, toaster ovens and other appliances from brands like Vitamix, Ninja and KitchenAid. We’re pretty confident you’ll see some of these items discounted for Prime Big Deal Days as well.
Apple Devices
In July, we saw some all-time low prices on MacBooks, Apple Watches and other Apple tech. If you didn’t get a chance to pick up the device you wanted then, the October sale will likely give you another opportunity to save.
