Predicted start date and all the deals we expect to see
The Best Buy Memorial Day sale is always a major event for the retailer, featuring some of the biggest discounts of the year outside of Black Friday across TVs, laptops, appliances, and more. Given that this year's holiday falls on May 25, I'm expecting the Memorial Day sale at Best Buy in 2026 to start very soon. So, here's everything you need to know right now, as well as our deals predictions, based on years of experience covering the event.

While Best Buy hasn't officially announced the start date for its Memorial Day sale this year, I predict that it will officially start on or around May 18. It's run for the whole week leading up to the day itself and across the full holiday weekend in previous years, so expect something similar again in 2026.
The Best Buy Memorial Day appliances sale is always a big part of the event, too, and that usually starts a little earlier. You can expect huge discounts of up to 50% on major appliances. There are savings on washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, dryers, ovens, and more from big-name brands including LG, Bosch, GE Profile, and Samsung.
Other categories where we'll likely see the best deals should be TVs, laptops, headphones, cameras, phones, wearables and furniture. I'll be looking through the biggest savings across all of these products once the sale starts and share all the top offers right here.
Until then, it'll be worth following our main Memorial Day sales hub as we get closer to the event for the latest updates and best early deals from many more retailers.

Best Buy Memorial Day sale: key information
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.
