Update: Amazon has now confirmed a second Prime Day, with the two-day Prime Early Access sale kicking off on October 11

Amazon's annual sales-a-thon is right around the corner in July, but a new report suggests that Amazon could hold a second Prime Day later this fall. The retail giant has been notifying select third-party merchants of a "Prime Fall deal event," according to a notice viewed by CNBC.

Amazon already announced its annual Prime Day, which will take place July 12 and July 13. The second prime day would happen in the fourth quarter of this year, according to CNBC's report.

 If the report's accurate, this would be the first time Amazon has held two Prime Day events in the same year. 

That said, it's worth noting that last year Amazon held its first ever Epic Daily Deals event in October, just weeks before the holiday shopping season. While it wasn't marketed as a Prime Day 2.0, it could be that Amazon is trying to revive its Epic Daily Deals event for the fall of 2022.
