As one of Australia's major sales events, Afterpay Day connects big brands and retailers, offering massive discounts across various categories. The second Afterpay Day sale of 2026 has begun, kicking off on Thursday, August 13 and running through to Sunday, August 16.

While the event is named after the popular 'buy now pay later' service, you should know that many of the deals you'll find during the sale won't actually require you to use Afterpay. Of course, it's always handy to have the option of splitting your online purchases into four fortnightly payments.

We've compiled these limited-time deals worth considering, so if you're ready to shop, we've got you covered.
