The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale usually runs from mid July to early August , with early access for cardmembers a few days before it opens to everyone.

Quick Scoop

  • For 2025, the public sale ran July 12 – August 3 , with cardmember early access beginning July 8–10 depending on status.
  • For 2026, Nordstrom hasn’t officially announced dates yet, but multiple sale calendars and deal sites estimate public access around July 11 – August 2, 2026 , with early access roughly July 7–10, 2026.
  • Historically, the sale falls on similar mid-July weekends every year , so you can safely plan for that window while waiting for Nordstrom’s official announcement.

How the timing usually breaks down

  • Preview/catalog: Late June (around June 25) where you can see items and build a wishlist.
  • Early access: Staggered by Nordstrom card status (Icon, Ambassador, Influencer), starting about 3–4 days before the public sale.
  • Public sale: Roughly three weeks , mid July through early August, then prices go back up on new fall arrivals.

So if you’re planning ahead, expect to start wish-listing in late June and be ready to shop in mid July for the best Anniversary Sale deals.
