Amazon is prepping this year's Prime Big Deal Days event with 48 hours of more exclusive deals, kicking off on Tuesday, October 6, at 12:01 AM PT (3:01 AM ET), and running until Wednesday, October 7, 2026. Naturally, Windows Central is here to hand-pick the discounts that are worth your time, so you won't miss out on the best laptops, PCs, and Xbox gaming bargains.
Once fall arrives, there's so much to get ready for — and Prime Big Deal Days makes it easy to check it all off while saving.
Carmen Nestares, VP of NA Marketing and Prime Tech
You'll need an active Amazon Prime membership (or a 30-day free trial) to take advantage of the exclusive tech deals, with new savings appearing as "Today's Big Deals" throughout the event, running until stock runs dry. Still, if anything sells out, we'll point you in the right direction for alternatives.
Amazon generally offers significant discounts on first-party hardware like Alexa smart speakers and Fire smart TVs, as well as a wide range of laptops and gaming accessories, but its competitors also offer savings on their own. Windows Central is here to find the best deals using our expertise and advice based on real-world experience, so check back often!
Do I need Prime membership for Big Deal Days?
Yes, to enjoy all Prime Day discounts, you need a paid membership or, if you haven't previously registered, a 30-day free trial.
