There are only a handful of times a year when you can expect to find standout deals that allow you to save up to hundreds of dollars on your favorite tech products, and one of those times is Amazon Prime Day.

The big annual sale is coming up, and the ZDNET team will have you covered during the expected two-day Prime Day event on the best deals for everything from Amazon products like Kindle and Fire TV devices to TVs, headphones, laptops, and more.

Amazon said that Prime Day 2022 was the biggest Prime Day event ever, with customers purchasing more than 300 million items worldwide and saving over $1.7 billion. We’re expecting to see a similar turnout this year. Here is everything we know so far about Amazon Prime Day 2023.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2023?

We’re expecting Amazon Prime Day to be the week of July 10, based on past years and circulating rumors. Amazon has yet to confirm the official dates, but since Prime Day usually launches over a Tuesday and Wednesday, we’re guessing Prime Day 2023 will take place on July 11 and July 12.

Who can shop Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is an exclusive sale for Amazon Prime members. For those who aren’t members yet, you can always sign up for a 30-day free trial. (If you’re a student, you may be eligible for a discounted Prime Student membership, which includes a 6-month free trial.)

In the past, the shopping event has been available to customers in 15 countries: the US, UK, Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey.

How much is an Amazon Prime membership?

Amazon Prime costs $14.99/month, or you can purchase an annual membership for $139 which will save you a few bucks.

College students get a student discount of $7.49/month or $69 per year. In addition, those with qualified government assistance can receive a Prime membership for just $6.99 after their free trial.

The membership includes free one-day delivery on most items, as well as access to Amazon Prime Video.

What will be on sale for Amazon Prime Day?

The e-commerce giant always includes sales from the biggest brands, like Samsung, Philips, iRobot, and other renowned brands. You can expect to find exclusive deals on Amazon devices like Echo speakers, Fire TVs and Kindles, as well as sales for big-ticket tech items like laptops, tablets, phones, kitchen appliances, and more.

How many times a year is Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day typically happens just once a year, except for last year. In 2022, the e-commerce giant held both a July and an October Prime Day event, the latter of which was also two days long and featured exclusive deals. Based on the success of that event, we can assume this year will also have a fall Prime Day event, but we won’t know for sure until Amazon announces it.

How do I find Amazon Prime Day deals?

Amazon usually has its Prime Day deals broken down by category, as well as highlighting its lightening deals that only last a few hours on its homepage.

ZDNET will update our Amazon Prime Day deals pages throughout the event so you can see the latest deals and snag the best savings.

You can already explore some deals set for the sales event by visiting Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale page.
