Amazon finally announced the official dates for Prime Day 2024, and here’s the skinny: This year’s summer Prime Day spectacular will begin on Tuesday, July 16 and run through Wednesday, July 17. This is a touch later in the month than normal — last year’s summer Prime Day ran from Tuesday, July 11 to Wednesday, July 12. If you want to get super granular, we have those details too: the event officially begins at 3 A.M. EST, and will run a full 48 hours.
