Currys generally keeps its powder dry until the big day itself to reveal most of its Boxing Day deals, so we're not expecting much action before November 26th. That said, we've got a fairly good idea about what to expect – not only because Currys tends to stick to its traditionally strong areas of laptops, TVs, tech, and appliances, but also because we expect the Boxing Day sales to resemble the retailer's last-minute Christmas deals – which have been available for a while.

If you're interested in checking those out, we've rounded up a selection of today's best deals at Currys just down below, alongside links to the relevant categories. Even if you're not interested in shopping today and want to wait it out (a wise policy) it's still a good idea to do a little bit of research ahead of time, even if it is just drawing up a shopping list for later.

As briefly mentioned, this page will be converted to feature the Currys Boxing Day sales themselves as soon as they land, so definitely don't hesitate to bookmark and return on the day itself if you're looking to spend that Christmas pocket money.

Frequently asked questions

When will the Currys Boxing Day sales begin?

We're expecting the Currys Boxing Day sales to begin on December 26 this year, although it's worth keeping an eye on the Currys site to see if any early bird deals drop. It's not unusual for retailers to start their sales early – something that's becoming increasingly common over bigger events like Black Friday.

Will Currys be open on boxing day?

Yep, Currys should be open on Boxing Day with most, if not all, of its Boxing Day sales being available in store. As you'd expect, this is subject to change depending on restrictions, but as of writing, we've seen nothing to indicate that this year stores will be closed.

There may be requirements for masks or customer number restrictions in store over the day, so definitely be prepared for that. Last year we saw an uneasy tiered lockdown system where some stores we open and some weren't, so we'd recommend using the Currys store finder to check your local situation. The store finder can also be used to look up local opening times.

Currys Boxing Day sale: what to expect

• Appliances: cheap coffee machines, air fryers, stand mixers, vacuum cleaners
• Laptops: super-cheap Chromebooks, gaming laptops, and price cuts on MacBooks
• Smartwatches: Apple Watches (if we’re lucky), Galaxy Watches, Fitbits
• Smart home: discounts on Google Nest, smart speakers, thermostats, cameras
• TVs: discounts on LG OLED, Samsung QLED, and cheaper TCL options too
• Gaming: monitors and peripherals, console games, controllers, no restocks
• Phones: price cuts on Android phones, Apple iPhones (if we’re lucky)
• Headphones: super-cheap stocking fillers, plus high-end Sony and Bose

Here's the main areas (and products) that we expect to be the main areas of focus in this year's Currys Boxing Day sale. This is mostly based on what's been on sale previously at the retailer over the Black Friday and pre-Christmas events, as well as what's generally popular right now. There will, of course, be literally thousands of items on sale over the entire store page, but we imagine the above will be the categories that most people are going to be shopping for over late December.

Making the most of the Currys Price Match promise

Whether it's Christmas, Black Friday, or the January sales, online retailers are always looking to undercut each other on price. That's good news for consumers, but it does mean you have to spend time searching around the web to make sure you're paying as little as possible for a particular gadget.

Enter Currys Price Match Promise. As the name suggests, Currys will match the price of a product if you can find it cheaper elsewhere – there are a few terms and conditions to make a note of, but that's the gist.

It means that if you see the same product available for less at any other retailer – either online or in store – Currys will match that price if you shop with it instead. The company will even match any discount codes that are being offered, so you don't need to pay a penny more than you have to.

There are a few terms and conditions to bear in mind, as we've mentioned: the competing offer must be from a UK retailer, and the items must be identical, right down to the model number (it's always worth double-checking). Also, delivery and installation charges, product protection services and other add-ons aren't included, so factor those out when comparing prices.
