It’s typically one of the most anticipated sales of the year. In 2021, pent-up consumer demand and a surge in new online shoppers could make Amazon Prime Day  even bigger.

This year’s Amazon Prime Day will include discounts on more than 2 million items for Prime members — about twice as many as last year — including over 1 million deals from small and medium-sized businesses, according to the retail giant.

When is Prime Day 2021? It will be earlier than in previous years.

Besides Amazon Prime Day 2020, which was delayed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, Prime Day historically takes place sometime in mid-July (the first date for Prime Day’s inaugural 2015 event commemorated the retailer’s then-20th anniversary). This year, however, Prime Day will take place on June 21 and June 22. Recent reports claim that the earlier June start date could be timed against the rescheduled 2021 Olympics and the projected July travel boom surrounding it.

What is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is an annual two-day event for members of Amazon’s Prime subscription service, which the company reports are now 200 million strong worldwide. Existing or new customers to the service, which costs $12.99 a month ($119 per year), will get access to tons of top-rated products at jaw-dropping discounts during this monster sale. Members will also be able to stream movies and TV on Prime Video and read thousands of books on Prime Reading (among other perks). Those on the fence can even test the service out for a free 30-day trial.
