Prime Day is the one of the best times of year for Amazon fans, and we now know that it'll happen in July.

During the company's last earnings call, an Amazon spokesperson confirmed that Prime Day 2022 will be held in July. That means we're just a few weeks away from the first Prime Day deals. (As a reminder, last year Prime Day was celebrated on June 21 and 22).
