If you've got any burning questions about the Best Buy Memorial Day sale in 2026, we've got the answers for you right here.

When will the Best Buy Memorial Day sale start?

Best Buy hasn't confirmed when it will launch its Memorial Day sale in 2026. However, based on events in previous years, we expect it will start around a week before the holiday to run across the full weekend, with a start date on or around May 18. However, the retailer's appliance sale usually starts before that, so I imagine that it will be live by May 15.

Best Buy Memorial Day sale: deals to expect

The Memorial Day sales always feature massive discounts on major appliances and we're confident that Best Buy will take the lead with this for another year.

Be prepared for flat discounts of up to $2,000 on refrigerators, dishwashers, and washing machines from brands like Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, and more. Plus, there will be extra savings on bundle deals and useful extras such as free installation and delivery on select products.

Outside of that, we expect to see lots of great tech bargains. Best Buy's Memorial Day sale should also feature some of the best TV deals we've seen so far this year as the retailer looks to shift stock of last-generation models. This is your chance to score a bargain on budget HD sets, large-screen 4K TVs and high-end OLED displays.

Then, amongst all of that, there should be impressive discounts on laptops, headphones, smartwatches, tablets, robot vacuums, cameras, coffee makers, health and beauty products, and more.
