Boxing day sales can provide numerous surprises, closing out the year and starting the next with some fantastic offers. While Black Friday and Cyber Monday may have ended, it's often in between these major discount events that some of the best deals of the year actually take place. No joke! You'll be amazed how much you can save prior to and shortly afterward – with Boxing Day sales spearheaded the lot. 

What's great is that the best Christmas sales for gaming often receive major decreases only a few days after the big day itself. This is usually because a lot of stock ends from 2022 ends up on clearance and, therefore, is slashed by a considerable amount of cash in preparation for 2023. It's an easy way to walk away with some new tech at a cheap, cheap price.

It doesn't matter whether you play on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, or PC, we've found the retailer that has the right deal for you. Whether it be the best PS5 SSDs to help increase your storage needs, the best gaming headsets to further enhance your listening experience, or maybe even some cheap board game deals to keep you busy over the holidays, we've got it all. 

Just below, you will find all of the retailers we'd recommend checking out for this year's Boxing Day sales alongside their latest offers.

Boxing Day sales: FAQ

When will Boxing Day sales begin?

Boxing Day sales are creeping closer and closer each year, with some even kicking off before Christmas (opens in new tab). Retailers tend to shift their focus once the last day of Christmas shipping has passed, which explains why we've been seeing so many savings landing before the turkey's in the oven in recent years. In general, though, the biggest Boxing Day sales kick off between December 25 and December 26 depending on the retailer. 

Should you wait for Boxing Day sales?

If you're already browsing the fantastic range of Christmas sales on the shelves right now, there isn't much need to wait until Boxing Day. These discounts are often a continuation of the deals retailers are willing to offer in the lead-up to the big day - just with a new banner at the top of the page. 

That said, there are some categories, like toys, that could see further discounts once the Christmas rush is over. If you're not concerned about stock levels or delivery before the actual holiday, it might be worth waiting a little. 

When do the Boxing Day sales end?

Well, the truth is that the Boxing Day sales just turn into, or run into, the January sales. This means there's an extensive sales period after Christmas and means the opportunity for picking up a deal is greater and potentially more fruitful.
