When is Prime Day 2020?

Amazon has not yet announced the dates of Prime Day 2020.

Though it usually takes place in mid-July, the novel coronavirus pandemic and resulting changes in order volume and shipping policies have pushed the event back to fall. Reports say it could happen in September. 

Last year, Prime Day took place from July 15 through July 16.

When will Amazon announce the dates of Prime Day 2020?

We don't know yet.

While the official announcement usually comes out about three weeks before the actual event, it could be revealed earlier in advance due to the circumstances of this year's Prime Day. 

How can I prepare for Prime Day 2020 in the meantime?

With Prime Day more than a few months away, there's nothing too pressing you can or need to do right now other than to make sure you're a Prime member. Or, if you're not currently a Prime member, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial in September.
