Amazon Boxing Day sale 2026: when it starts and what to buy
The Amazon Boxing Day sale 2026 dates are not out yet, though Boxing Day is Saturday 26 December. Amazon's 2019 sale ran 26 to 31 December, which is a pattern, not a 2026 date. Black Friday 2026 is Friday 27 November, and Amazon has not announced its dates either. Add items to your Wish List and you get an alert if they go on sale. Prime members also got early access to Lightning Deals in 2019. Ready? Open Today's Deals now.

When does Amazon Boxing Day sale start?
Boxing Day 2026 falls on Saturday 26 December, so that's the date to watch for the Amazon Boxing Day sale 2026. Amazon has not announced its 2026 Boxing Day or January sale dates yet, so the official start time is still to come.
For a clue, look back at 2019. Amazon UK's own press release of 26 December 2019 said its Boxing Day Sale would run from 26 to 31 December 2019, with new deals available as often as every five minutes. That was a 2019 pattern, not a 2026 date. This page updates the day Amazon announces its 2026 dates, so bookmark it and check back soon.

Black Friday or Boxing Day: which should you wait for?
Black Friday is Friday 27 November 2026, and Cyber Monday is Monday 30 November. Amazon has not announced its 2026 event dates yet. Last year's Black Friday Week ran from 20 November to 1 December 2025, so it pays to start early. Start with our Amazon Black Friday 2026 guide, then check the Amazon Cyber Monday 2026 guide for the days after.
Boxing Day is Saturday 26 December 2026, and Amazon has not announced its 2026 Boxing Day or January sale dates. Here is a simple rule. Buy what you need for Christmas in November, and wait for Boxing Day for things for yourself. Keep an eye out for the Amazon Boxing Day sale 2026 too. Whichever you choose, compare the price on the day before you tap buy. Simple, right?
Departments to watch in the Amazon Boxing Day sale 2026
Want to find deals fast? Start with Amazon's Today's Deals page, which you can filter by department. On this page you will also find quick buttons for Electronics, Beauty, Toys, Books and Fashion, so you can jump straight to what you want. Amazon's own devices, such as Kindle, Echo and Fire TV Stick, led its 2025 Black Friday round-ups, so they are worth a look too.
Amazon has not yet announced the dates for the Amazon Boxing Day sale 2026, so keep checking back. In the meantime, see our Amazon deals and vouchers page for ways to save. Add items you want to your Wish List, and if they go on sale, you get an alert.
How to track Amazon prices before Boxing Day
Amazon has not announced the dates for its Amazon Boxing Day sale 2026 yet, so start tracking now. Amazon's own Black Friday advice is simple: add the items you want to your Wish List. If they go on sale, you get an alert. You can also use free price trackers such as CamelCamelCamel and Keepa, which chart an Amazon product's price over time, so you can see how it has moved.
Prime helps too. In its 2019 Boxing Day press release, Amazon said Prime members got early access to Lightning Deals. Prime also gives you unlimited free One-Day Delivery on eligible items. New members get 30 days free with a Prime free trial, then £8.99 a month or £95 a year, and you can cancel before the trial ends.
Christmas gift returns on Amazon
Want to know how long you have to send a present back? Last year Amazon extended its returns window. Most items bought between 1 November and 31 December 2025 could be returned until 31 January 2026. Amazon has not published its 2026 window yet, so check the returns details on your order before you buy, whether you wait for the Amazon Boxing Day sale 2026 or grab a deal early in Black Friday Week.
Buying for someone else? Most Amazon items can be sent with a gift message and a gift receipt that hides the price. Your recipient sees the item and your note, not the amount you paid. Pick the gift option at checkout and you are set for Christmas, stress free!
