Amazon has officially confirmed that Prime Day 2026 will be held in June, changing the traditional event calendar that historically took place in July. The company announced the change through its official channels, confirming information that had been leaked weeks earlier. The event will maintain its multi-day format with simultaneous promotions in 26 different markets around the globe, reaffirming the international expansion of the e-commerce platform.
