Mashable's Shopping team has been covering Amazon Prime Day since 2018,ebony amatuer in lingerie with dick sucking lips in teen sex video and this year, we've got our work cut out for us. The retail giant just announced that it's extending its flagship members-only sale to four days for 2025.

Granted, the name "Prime Day" hasn't been applicable since 2019, when Amazon decided to turn it into a 48-hour event. Still, four days of deals means Prime Day 2025 makes this the longest Prime Day ever. (We can see Amazon's logic here: Many tariff- and inflation-weary shoppers are in dire need of some really good summer deals.)

Here's what we think you should know before Prime Day kicks off in July.

What is Prime Day?

Prime Day is an annual sitewide sale open to paid and trial members of Amazon's Prime subscription service. First held in 2015 in honor of Amazon's 20th anniversary(with mixed success), it was originally pluggedas a "one-day-only event filled with more deals than Black Friday." In the years since, it's morphed into a longer affair that's preceded by weeks of preview offers. Prime Dayis a misnomer.

For the past three years, Amazon has hosted an additional two-day sale for Prime members in October, teeing up its Black Friday festivities. (The 2022 version was called "Prime Early Access Sale," and it was renamed to "Prime Big Deal Days" in 2023.) However, the summer iteration of Prime Day is still Amazon's marquee sale.

When is Prime Day 2025?

Prime Day runs from Tuesday, July 8 through Friday, July 11 in 2025, with new deals dropping as often as every five minutes at certain points during the event.

While it's longer than past Prime Days, this year's sale still comes at the usual time: Amazon has a historical preference for mid-July slots with Tuesday start dates. For reference, Prime Day 2022 was live from July 12 to 13, Prime Day 2023 ran from July 11 to 12, and Prime Day 2024 fell on July 16 and 17.

When does Prime Day start and end?

Prime Day 2025 will officially start at 3:01 a.m. ET (12:01 a.m PT) on July 8, but as mentioned earlier, Amazon is offering a selection of early Prime Day deals in the lead-up to the main event. (We've already rounded up some of the best ones below.)

Prime Day 2025 will conclude at 2:59 a.m. ET on Saturday, July 12, aka 11:59 p.m. PT on Friday, July 11. Some deals may linger past that deadline, but don't count on it.

What's new for Prime Day 2025 (besides the longer hours)?

Amazon is introducing new themed daily drops called "Today's Big Deals" for Prime Day 2025.

Can you shop on Prime Day without being a Prime member?

You have to be a Prime member in order to shop Amazon's Prime Day deals. But if you don't want to commit to a monthly or annual paid subscription, you can still participate by scheduling a free 30-day trial of Prime around the sale. (If you're a student or between the ages of 18 to 24, that free trial is six months long.) Just remember to cancel your membership as soon as Prime Day is over to avoid getting charged.

Who's competing with Prime Day?

Other retailers traditionally hold competing sales around Prime Day, and this year is no exception. Be sure to cross-check Amazon's deals with their listings in case they decide to match or one-up its prices.
