When is Prime Day 2022? Everything you need to know, early deals, and more

If you’re still asking what day is Prime Day? Or when is Prime Day this year? It is time to ensure you’re ready to go. “What day is Prime Day?” is a simple question to answer now that everything has been confirmed for next week on July 12 and 13. Set to easily go down as the biggest shopping event of the year thus far, in many cases the Prime Day price drops rival the Black Friday offers without the massive hysteria of rushing the storefronts. Amazon’s two-day shopping event delivers deep price drops across just about every product category, and we here at Electronicsforward are looking to make sure you know exactly when Prime Day deals go live (some of them have already and will do before the official July 12 start date) and to help optimize the savings for you and your family.

What day is Prime Day?

As we mentioned above, the official start date of Amazon’s wide-ranging two-day shopping event is on July 12 and 13, 2022 with hundreds (if not thousands) of notable deals kicking off early that morning. However, it’s not quite as simple as some might be suggesting. When is Prime Day 2022? Well, while there will be a huge collection of offers going live on Prime Day proper, in some cases it is already live – Amazon hit us with some early offers at the end of last month as well as earlier this week – and here are some of the most notable price drops already available:

• Latest Echo Dot sees early Prime Day discount to $20, more from $13
