Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026 Is Fast Approaching
Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026 confirmed for March 25–31, open to all shoppers (not Prime-only). Sellers were warned February 18 to submit deals early and position inventory ahead of the event.
Non-Prime events like this drive broad traffic spikes that reward in-stock, well-ranked listings — but sellers who missed the deal submission deadline are locked out of featured placements. Check your inventory coverage ratio in Seller Central's Inventory Planning tab now; if you're under 4 weeks of supply, you're selling into a demand spike without fuel.
Amazon is building a third major annual sales event to fill the revenue calendar between Super Bowl and Prime Day, compressing the window where sellers must be operationally ready — rewarding brands with disciplined inventory and ad systems year-round.
Check deal submission status in Seller Central > Advertising > Deals — if your submission window closed, shift budget to Sponsored Products to capture traffic March 25–31 without a deal badge.
Run a restock report in Inventory > Restock Inventory before March 20 to ensure FBA units arrive in time; late shipments won't be pickable during peak days.
Bottom Line
Big Spring Sale March 25–31 means a 7-day traffic spike for all Amazon sellers.
