Currys Boxing Day is, more than anything else, a TV event — and there is a structural reason for it that makes the discounts real rather than theatrical. New TV model lineups launch at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas in early January. Currys stocks outgoing models through Q4 and needs to clear that inventory before January’s new arrivals. Boxing Day is the clearance mechanism. For large-screen TVs — 55” and above, particularly OLEDs — the pricing at Currys Boxing Day is historically stronger than Black Friday. If a TV is on your list, this is the event to plan around.

Currys typically launches its Boxing Day sale online at midnight on 26 December, with in-store availability from when branches open — usually around 8am or 9am. The online launch has sometimes crept slightly earlier, into late Christmas night, though midnight has been the reliable figure. Currys does not have a dedicated Boxing Day URL. The sale runs through their general sale section, accessible from the site’s main navigation. You will need to filter by category rather than browsing a curated Boxing Day page. For 2026 opening hours and key dates, see our Boxing Day dates guide.

What to expect from the Currys Boxing Day sale 2026

TVs are the standout. 40% off is common on mid-to-large screens from Sony, LG, Samsung, and Hisense. Based on previous years, OLED TVs from LG have typically dropped 20–30% at Boxing Day — often reaching prices well below their pre-Christmas levels. We’ll confirm specific 2026 deals when Currys announces. QLED panels from Samsung and the Hisense U-series are reliable targets — strong specs, brands most people recognise, and clearance-level pricing at Boxing Day. Laptops and tablets. Not as dramatic as TVs, but there are deals. Gaming laptops in particular see price reductions — based on previous years, mid-tier gaming machines have typically dropped 10–15% at Boxing Day. Microsoft Surface and iPad bundles also feature. For gaming laptop category depth, finance options, and how Currys compares with Amazon and John Lewis, see the Currys Boxing Day laptop deals page. Large domestic appliances. Washing machines, dishwashers, fridge-freezers, and tumble dryers all appear in the sale. These tend to be on older or superseded models — the savings are real but the selection is narrower than it looks. Check the model number against the manufacturer’s current range before buying. Phones and wearables. Modest discounts — Currys is not where you get the best phone deals. Focus here elsewhere unless a specific device is already on your list at a price that makes sense.

Best categories to shop at Currys on Boxing Day

TVs — the single best reason to be at Currys on Boxing Day. If your current TV is more than five years old or you’re furnishing a new room, the Currys Boxing Day sale is the right moment to buy. The discounts are deeper than Black Friday for large-format screens. Focus on 55” and above — the price-per-inch economics are strongest in that range. OLED specifically. OLED panels have become affordable over the last few years. If you’ve been watching OLED prices, Boxing Day is when they tend to drop to their annual low. The LG C-series and Sony A80-series are the models to watch. For a dedicated guide to screen sizes, delivery options, and how Currys compares with John Lewis and AO, see the Currys Boxing Day TV deals page. Soundbars. Often bundled with TV deals or sold at sharp standalone prices. The Sonos, Samsung, and LG soundbar ranges all feature. A step up from a TV’s built-in speakers for less than £100 is achievable at Currys Boxing Day. Air fryers and small kitchen appliances. Ninja, Instant Pot, and Philips feature regularly. These aren’t the deepest discounts but they’re consistent clearance items. What to skip: Phones (better deals at carriers and Apple directly), gaming consoles (rarely discounted at Boxing Day vs Black Friday), and printer/camera equipment (very limited selection in sale).

Tips for shopping Currys on Boxing Day

Plan your TV purchase specifically before you go. The Currys Boxing Day sale spans thousands of products. If you want a TV, know your minimum specs — panel type (OLED, QLED, standard LCD), size, and rough budget — before the sale opens. Trying to evaluate options in real-time while stock is moving is how people make expensive mistakes. Use Currys’ price match. Currys operates a price match promise: if you find the same product cheaper at a major UK competitor within 7 days of purchase, they’ll refund the difference. This applies during the Boxing Day sale. It reduces the urgency to buy at exactly the right moment — you have a window. Check the product generation. Currys sometimes lists last year’s model alongside this year’s, at a significant price difference. Always check the model number. An LG C3 (2023) at £599 is not the same purchase as an LG C4 (2024) at £799, even if the spec sheets look similar. Arrive in-store before opening. If you want a specific large TV and prefer to buy in-store (to negotiate, to see the picture quality, or to arrange same-day delivery), get there before 8am. High-demand stock at headline prices moves quickly. Currys stores are usually busiest in the first two hours. Consider the delivery logistics. Buying a 65” TV on Boxing Day is straightforward online. Getting it home is not always. Currys offers next-day delivery on large appliances, but Boxing Day itself and 27th can be slow — their logistics teams run reduced capacity over the Christmas period. Factor this in if you need the TV for a specific date.

Currys Boxing Day sale history

Currys has been a participant in the Boxing Day sales throughout its history as an electrical retailer. The event has become more important to them over time, not less, as the TV product cycle has stabilised around the January CES window. The key dynamic: TV manufacturers release new model lineups at CES in Las Vegas in early January. Currys stocks both outgoing and incoming models during Q4. By the end of December, they need to clear the outgoing inventory — which is exactly what Boxing Day delivers. The commercial motivation is genuine, which is why the discounts at Currys Boxing Day are real rather than theatrical. Historically, Currys’ Boxing Day event has been noticeably stronger than their Black Friday event for large-screen TVs. Black Friday is better for computers, peripherals, and smaller appliances. Boxing Day is better for screens. This is not accidental — it reflects the product cycle. Currys has not skipped or significantly reduced its Boxing Day event in recent memory. It is a core trading period and one they invest marketing budget in each year.
