Summer Sales 2026: Zara and Bershka Announce Dates and Discount Schedule. Zara, Bershka, and other Inditex brands are launching the 2026 summer sales at the end of June. Each brand and platform—whether mobile app or physical store—has its own start time for discounts. Find out how to catch the best deals and not miss out on what you want.

In 2026, the summer sales at the major Inditex brands—Zara, Bershka, Stradivarius, Pull&Bear, Oysho, Massimo Dutti, and Lefties—will start a week earlier than usual. According to Talent24h, the first discounts will appear online as early as June 25, and in stores the following day. For shoppers, this means that those who prepare in advance and know the exact launch time gain an advantage in securing the most sought-after sizes and models.

Inditex’s discount launch format remains unchanged: first the mobile app, then the website, and only after that—physical stores. In 2026, the schedule is as follows: on the evening of June 25, discounts go live in the apps, slightly later on the websites, and on June 26 in retail locations. The start times vary by brand: Stradivarius, Pull&Bear, Lefties, and Bershka open sales in the app at 19:00 and on the website at 20:00. Oysho is an hour later, while Zara traditionally delays the launch: 21:00 in the app and 22:00 on the website. Massimo Dutti has a special arrangement—newsletter subscribers get early access to discounts on June 24, with the general timeline for everyone else.

Order of launch: who gets there first

Shoppers who have added their desired items to favorites and downloaded the app in advance are at an advantage. In the first minutes after the discounts open, the most popular sizes disappear especially quickly. That’s why Inditex keeps tiered access: first mobile users, then everyone else. This approach encourages customers to use branded apps and be as prepared as possible for the start.

Why timing matters

In recent years, Inditex has consistently pushed the start of summer sales to late June, even though the discount season in Spain officially begins on July 1. This allows brands to outpace competitors and keep customer attention. For many families and young people, summer sales are not just a way to save money but an annual ritual: whoever places an order first gets the coveted item.

How not to miss out on your size

Experts recommend selecting your desired items in advance, checking size availability, and making sure the app is installed and functioning. Keep in mind: each brand has its own launch time, and being even half an hour late could cost you the purchase. This is especially true for popular Zara models, where the demand is traditionally higher.

Brand-by-brand details

In 2026, the schedule is as follows: Stradivarius, Pull&Bear, Lefties, and Bershka — 19:00 in the app, 20:00 on the website; Oysho — 20:00 and 21:00 respectively; Zara — 21:00 and 22:00. For Massimo Dutti subscribers — June 24, for everyone else — according to the general schedule. Discounts will appear in stores on June 26, but by that time some items may no longer be available online.

According to Talent24h, this approach allows Inditex to maintain strong interest in sales and encourages shoppers to act quickly. For those planning to buy from several brands, it's important to prepare a strategy in advance and not waste time switching between apps and websites.

In recent years, competition for the best deals has intensified, and sales events are becoming increasingly tech-driven. For shoppers, this means success depends not only on desire, but also on knowing the schedule precisely and reacting quickly.
