Walmart Deals 2026: Dates, Discounts, and Walmart+ Early Access

Walmart announced the return of Walmart Deals, its weeklong summer savings event, running June 22 through June 28, a day earlier and two days longer than Amazon's Prime Day window. The event featured discounts up to 50% across pets, self-care, sports, outdoor, TVs, patio, fashion and toys, with early back-to-school essentials also included.

Walmart+ members received Early Access to a curated assortment of high-demand deal-drop items during the first 24 hours, with remaining items opening to all shoppers the next day. Notably, 49% of Prime Day shoppers reported also shopping or planning to shop Walmart Deals confirming these summer sales windows are now industry-wide shopping occasions rather than single-retailer events.

What this means for suppliers:

• Walmart is intentionally scheduling its sales events to compete directly with Amazon's calendar, expect this pattern to continue in future summer and holiday windows

• Suppliers in featured categories (electronics, patio, back-to-school) should expect deal-drop planning conversations well ahead of the event window

• Cross-shopping between Walmart and Amazon during the same week means visibility and pricing strategy matter across both platforms simultaneously
