Currys’ Boxing Day TV event is the single most reliable major-purchase moment in the UK retail calendar — and unlike most “sales”, there is a structural reason behind the discounting that makes the pricing real rather than theatrical. This page is the Currys-specific cut: which screen sizes to target, which tech to skip, how delivery and finance shape the decision, and how Currys’ offer compares with John Lewis, AO, and Argos for the same set. For a cross-retailer view of the wider TV market, see our TV Boxing Day deals page.

Why Currys discounts TVs harder than anyone else

New TV lineups are announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas during the first full week of January. Within four to six weeks, the new models start shipping into UK distribution. Currys holds the deepest inventory of outgoing-generation TVs of any UK electricals retailer, and Boxing Day is the clearance mechanism — selling through the old stock before the new arrivals land. This is why 55” and 65” OLEDs in particular reach their annual low at Currys Boxing Day rather than Black Friday. Black Friday discounts on TVs are usually a deeper trim on this-year inventory; Boxing Day is a clear-out of last-year inventory, which gets the prices lower. If a TV is the purchase you have been waiting for, Currys’ sale section is the page to be on at midnight on 26 December.

What to target in 2026

LG OLED, C-series and B-series in 55” and 65”. The C-series is the volume seller — most living rooms will be well-served by a 55C4 or 65C4. The B-series is the budget OLED route and is the model where Boxing Day pricing tends to look the most aggressive on a per-inch basis. Based on previous years, the C-series has typically dropped 20–30% from autumn pricing at Boxing Day, with B-series dropping further. We will confirm exact 2026 figures when announced.

Samsung QLED, mid-range and above. Q70, Q80, and the Neo QLED QN90 range cover most rooms. QLED is the safer choice in bright rooms — the panel technology handles ambient light better than OLED. Currys ranges Samsung deeper than most competitors, so the available size and tier permutations are wider.

Hisense U-series. The U7 and U8 are where the value-per-inch maths is most aggressive. Hisense is a credible alternative to the bigger names for buyers prioritising picture quality per pound over brand recognition, and Currys is the dominant UK stockist.

Sony Bravia, premium tier. A95 and A80 OLEDs, plus the Bravia 9 mini-LED, see less aggressive Boxing Day discounting than LG — Sony protects its pricing more carefully. The premium is worth paying if picture processing and motion handling matter to you (sports, films), but expect a smaller percentage drop than on LG or Hisense.

What to skip. Current-flagship Samsung S-series OLEDs released in Q4 2026 will not be meaningfully discounted — the inventory pressure is the wrong direction. Anything launched in October or November 2026 is too new to be a Boxing Day target. Wait for spring 2027 if that is the model you want.

Screen size strategy

The price-per-inch maths at Boxing Day favours 55” and above. The gap between a 55” and a 65” closes considerably when sale pricing is active — often within £150 on the same model line. For a living room where the seating distance is more than 2.5 metres from the screen, 65” is the right default; 75” is now a viable choice for under £1,500 on Hisense and TCL during Boxing Day. Below 55”, the discounts exist but the absolute saving is small enough that the urgency is lower.

Timing — midnight, the morning rush, and what holds back

Currys typically opens its Boxing Day sale online at midnight on 26 December, with in-store availability when branches open — usually 8am or 9am, varying by location. The midnight online launch has crept slightly earlier in past years, into late Christmas Day evening, though midnight is the reliable figure to plan around. For a guide to opening hours across UK retailers, see our Boxing Day dates guide.

In-store stock on flagship OLEDs in popular sizes moves fast in the first two hours. Online stock is deeper but warehouse-fulfilment delivery slots fill quickly for January’s first week. If you want a specific 65” OLED delivered in time to mount it before New Year’s Eve, order online at midnight and pay for a named-day slot — the £20 to £40 premium beats waiting two weeks.

Delivery, installation, and recycling

Currys offers next-day and named-day delivery on most TVs during Boxing Day, alongside an installation and wall-mounting service for an additional fee. The installation option is worth considering for 65”+ sets — TVs at that size are awkward to handle alone, and a botched mount is an expensive mistake. Currys’ old-TV recycling and removal service is included on many delivery options at no extra cost; check the product page before adding installation as a separate line item.

The delivery time-window confirmation usually arrives by SMS the day before. Slots are typically two-hour windows, with a one-hour narrowing on the morning of delivery.

How Currys compares with other Boxing Day TV retailers

John Lewis — the warranty argument. John Lewis ranges fewer TVs than Currys but includes a two-year guarantee as standard on most sets. The headline price is usually within £20 to £50 of Currys at Boxing Day, but the included warranty closes the gap or wins it outright for buyers who would otherwise pay for a Currys Care & Repair plan.

AO — usually narrower on TVs. AO leads on white-goods rather than televisions; its TV range is shallower and Boxing Day discounts are less aggressive than Currys on the same models. AO is the right choice for kitchen appliances at the same event, not TVs.

Argos — the budget alternative. For sub-£400 sets, Argos is the more efficient route — own-brand Bush and Alba TVs see sharp clearance pricing and click-and-collect availability is wider. Above £500, Argos cannot match Currys for range or discount depth on premium brands.

The single-sentence summary

If you are buying a TV in the UK in late December, you are buying it from Currys’ Boxing Day sale — and the only real decision is which size and panel technology, not which retailer.
