Argos is one of the most consistent participants in the UK Boxing Day sales. Year after year, they discount heavily across electricals, toys, and home goods — and they tend to go live online from midnight on Boxing Day itself.
When does the Argos Boxing Day sale start?
Argos typically launches its Boxing Day sale online at midnight on 26 December. The sale is also available in-store when shops open, usually at 8am or 9am depending on the branch.
What categories see the best Argos Boxing Day deals?
Electricals tend to offer the deepest discounts — TVs, laptops, tablets, and small appliances. Argos has strong own-brand ranges (Bush, Chad Valley) alongside name brands, so there are deals across price points.
Toys are a Boxing Day staple at Argos. If you’re thinking ahead to birthdays or just missed the Christmas rush, this is a good time to stock up.
Home and garden sees clearance pricing on furniture, storage, and seasonal items.
Tips for shopping the Argos sale
- Check the website from midnight on Christmas night — the best stock goes quickly online.
- Use click and collect to guarantee availability if you plan to shop in-store.
- Argos updates its sale regularly in the week after Boxing Day, so it’s worth checking back.
Is the Argos Boxing Day sale worth it?
For electricals and toys specifically, yes. The discounts are genuine and Argos’s price-match history means they don’t inflate prices beforehand. The main risk is stock running out on popular items — shop early if there’s something specific you want.
