The Amazon Prime Day Dates Have Been Announced—& It's Happening Way Earlier Than Last Year

When is Amazon Prime Day this year? Rumors have been circulating for a couple of months, and now we have a confirmed date! This is not a drill. Amazon released its official dates for the massive sale, and it includes deals you don’t want to miss. But first things first. Let’s take a look at previous Prime Days. While the annual Amazon deal-shopping event (AKA Black Friday junior) typically happens in the summer, it was pushed back to October in 2020. And last year, Prime Day happened on June 21st and June 22nd. This year, there is talk about the Prime Day happening on July 11th or July 18th. So are the rumors true?

Experts speculated a time frame this summer, but it’s much later than the anticipated Prime Day last year. Based on an announcement that Amazon gave its selected sellers on the platform, there are hints that Prime Day may be on July 11th or July 18th — which makes sense to choose the second week of July to bypass all of the Fourth of July excitement and those taking vacations and not paying attention to shopping.

Let’s play Nancy Drew for a minute. In a recent statement, Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) gave its sellers a deadline of June 20th to have their inventory stocked in time for Prime Day 2022. Fahim Naim, head of Amazon at Advantage Unified Commerce said in a previous interview that “for the past three years, the FBA inventory cutoff date was on average 24 days before Prime Day.” So, 24 days after the seller cutoff lands us on July 4th, which isn’t a strategic day to have a sale. The following Monday — July 11th aligns with the retailer’s past Prime Days.
