The 2023 Labor Day TV sales event will be here before you know it, with huge savings on a range of 4K and OLED TVs from retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart. To help you find all the best offers in one place, we've created this guide with everything you need to know about upcoming Labor Day TV sales, such as the date and deals you can expect.

Labor Day marks the end of the summer and the beginning of a new school year, which means retailers offer deep discounts on last year's best-rated TVs, so you can grab a record-low price on a stunning display from brands like Samsung, LG, and Sony. You'll also find impressive TV deals from budget brands like Insignia and TLC, so no matter your price point, Labor Day TV sales will have something for everyone.

Labor Day officially lands on Monday, September 4 this year, which means we should start to see Labor Day sales launching the weekend before on Friday, September 1. We'll update this page as soon as we see Labor Day TV sales drop, but in the meantime, we've listed everything you need to know and what deals you can expect.

Labor Day TV sales 2023: key information

When is Labor Day 2023

Labor Day is a federal holiday that always takes place on the first Monday in September to celebrate the contributions and achievements of American workers.

This year, Labor Day lands on Monday, September 4th, with the long holiday weekend kicking off on Friday, September 1st. We expect to see early Labor Day TV sales drop the week before the actual holiday, on Monday, August 28.

What Labor Day TV deals can we expect?

What deals can you expect at this year's Labor Day TV sales event? You'll find a mix of high-end OLED displays from Samsung, Sony, and LG on sale, as well as budget sets from Insignia, TCL, and Hisense. Retailers typically offer record-low prices on some of last year's best-selling TVs and fresh discounts on 2023 displays.

Labor Day falls in the middle of Prime Day and the upcoming Black Friday deals event, so while you might not find the best deals from Amazon's Fire TV lineup, you can still find impressive savings. We have our eye on our best-rated TV, the 2022 LG C2 OLED and Samsung's S95B OLED, and the 2023 LG C3 OLED TV.
