Memorial Day sales 2025: when is it and today's best deals
Memorial Day is near - here's everything you need to know

With May upon us, the Memorial Day sales event is almost here. It officially kicks off on Monday, May 26, this year, but I'm expecting offers to go live throughout the month. And that's why I'm here to help. As TechRadar's resident deals editor who's covered Memorial Day sales for eight years, I've created this guide with everything you need to know about upcoming deals on TVs, appliances, mattresses, and more.
Memorial Day is a federal holiday that honors the men and women who died serving in the United States military. It's also the unofficial start to summer, which means retailers will offer huge discounts on outdoor items, including patio furniture, grills, lawnmowers, and gardening tools.
You'll also find clearance prices on big-ticket items, including major appliances, mattresses, and furniture, as well as tech deals on TVs, laptops, Apple devices, and headphones.
Memorial Day sales usually don't begin until early May, and mattress brands are typically the first retailers to launch offers. Those should start fairly soon, so I'll be keeping an eye on retailers over the coming weeks for their offers.
While we wait for official Memorial Day deals, I've listed the best sales and top offers from retailers like Best Buy, Home Depot, Walmart, Lowe's, and Amazon. You'll also find more information on Memorial Day sales further down the page, including when sales start and what deals you can expect.
