Amazon has officially locked in its second Prime Day of 2025, set for October 6 and 7. The announcement, made on March 28, 2025, marks a continuation of the company’s strategy to host a fall shopping event that rivals the summer Prime Day in both scale and discounts.
The fall Prime Day—often dubbed “Prime Big Deal Days” in previous years—has quickly become a major calendar event for deal hunters. Last year, Amazon reported that members saved over $1.5 billion during the two-day event, with top categories including electronics, home appliances, and fashion. This year’s edition is expected to surpass those figures, especially with the holiday shopping season just a few weeks away.
Amazon has hinted at several new features for the upcoming event. For the first time, the company will offer early-access “sneak peek” deals to Prime members who opt into notifications via the Amazon Shopping app. Additionally, select small business sellers will receive enhanced visibility through dedicated storefronts during the event.
Another major change: the return window for items purchased during the October sale will be extended through January 31, 2026, giving shoppers peace of mind for holiday gifting. This policy was piloted in 2024 and proved highly popular, leading to a 12% reduction in return-related inquiries.
Amazon’s second Prime Day isn’t happening in a vacuum. Rivals like Walmart and Target have historically run their own “Deals for Days” or “Circle Week” sales around the same time. This year, Walmart has already announced a “Fall Rollback Event” starting October 5, putting direct pressure on Amazon. However, analyst Rebecca Liu of eMarketer notes, “Amazon’s Prime member base—over 200 million globally—gives it an unmatched advantage in loyalty and repeat purchasing.”
With more than 1 million deals expected across categories, shoppers should prepare in advance. Here are a few strategies:
Consumer savings expert Michael Davis from Consumer Reports advises: “The October Prime Day is often the best time to buy TVs, smart home devices, and Amazon hardware like Echo and Ring. Prices on these items typically hit their yearly low during this window.”
Meanwhile, inventory data suggests that Amazon has already begun stocking extra units of popular brands like Samsung, Sony, and Dyson specifically for the event.
Whether you’re looking to get a head start on holiday shopping or simply snag a new tablet, the October 6-7 Prime Day promises heavy discounts and a streamlined shopping experience.
