When does Amazon’s 2026 Prime Day sale end?

Amazon’s 2026 Prime Day sale is four days long and ends at 11:59pm PT on Friday, June 26.

If you’re shopping, it’s smart to check out sooner rather than later. Limited-time Lightning Deals and popular products tend to disappear well before the official end of the sale.

Do you need a Prime membership to shop Prime Day deals?

Yes, most Prime Day deals are exclusive to Amazon Prime members. That said, it is easy to join Prime and honestly, totally worth it.

If you’re planning to shop multiple deals, signing up (even temporarily) is usually worth it for the access alone. Don't forget to check if you're eligible for a discounted Prime membership.
