Early Amazon Prime Day Deals Are Live Now Ahead of the Official Sale

June 5, 2026

Prime Day is Amazon’s biggest sale of the year, and the online retailer is kicking things off a little early this time. The sale usually falls sometime in July, but Amazon recently announced that this year’s event will run from June 23 to 26. That’s still a few weeks away, but you won’t have to wait until then to start saving.

It’s already started rolling out the early deals, with bargains on everything from headphones and laptops to vacuums and kitchen essentials. To help you make the most of these early offers, CNET’s shopping experts have rounded up some top picks below. Just note that there’s no set expiration for these deals, which means there’s no guarantee that they’ll stick around until the official sale.


This story is part of Amazon Prime Day, CNET’s guide to everything you need to know and how to find the best deals.

It’s also important to note that, while you don’t have to be a Prime member to shop during the sale, many of the best Prime Day deals have previously been exclusive to Prime members. If you’ve considered signing up for a Prime membership, this may be the time. Prime membership comes with a lot of perks.

We’ll keep this page updated with all the latest news and can’t-miss early deals for Prime Day 2026, so check back soon.

Should you wait for Prime Day before buying anything?

While the Prime Day event will kick off hundreds of thousands of deals, many brands are trying to get ahead of the game by launching early deals, meaning you don’t have to wait in order to save. Take a look at the deals we’ve rounded up above and consider if these items possibly selling out is worth waiting a few weeks in case they drop a few more bucks. We can’t predict the future, but we have only exhibited deals on this page that are genuinely good right now. 

What is going to be on sale throughout Prime Day?

A lot. Last year, Prime Day featured over 100,000 deals, and while many of them were small discounts on tiny products, there were also a ton of great deals on those larger items mentioned above. The biggest deals will be on TVs, laptops, e-bikes and vacuums (especially robo vacs), as well as power stations and grills for the outdoors.

For 2026, Amazon’s announcement is already teasing early deals with up to 65% off Amazon devices and on books, Audible and Prime Video. So, that’s a good place to start. We’ll also be rounding up our picks for the best early deals as they drop, so you’re not wading through pages of listings to find the ones actually worth your money.

Are this year’s Prime Day dates different?

This will be the first time in a while that Amazon is holding its summer Prime Day event so early. Prime Day has traditionally been held in July, but will officially kick off on June 23 this year. However, this wouldn’t be the first shift we’ve seen. In 2020, it was pushed to October due to COVID-19; in the following year, the event took place in June. In 2022, the retailer had events in both July and October.
