Football season has a way of influencing the TV deals market. While the weeks surrounding playoffs are the absolute best football-related time to buy a TV on sale, the weeks surrounding the kickoff to that season are home to some pretty good deals, too. With less than a month left until the first official NFL game of the 2024-2025 season on Sept. 5, there are plenty of options on sale to set yourself up for a more vibrant, less laggy sports watching experience at home.

We’ve pulled the TV deals worth your consideration during the week of August 12, including a better version of our absolute favorite Prime Day TV deal (plus several other cheap QLED TVs), as well as discounts on 2024 OLED and QLED models from Samsung and LG.

Why we like it

Our favorite Prime Day TV deal is still around almost a month later — it’s just at Walmart instead of Amazon now, and *checks notes* got cheaper. As of the second full week in August, you can score the 65-inch TCL Q6 QLED for $348 at Walmart (compared to $389.99 at Amazon during Prime Day).

Less than $400 (or $350, even) is an absolutely stellar price for a QLED of this size. No, TCL’s Q6 series aren’t the most premium QLED TVs on the market, but they’re also not the most basic QLED TVs out there. The Q6 gets brighter than TCL’s ultra budget Q5 model, making it one of the rare budget QLEDs that actually gets bright and colorful enough to make HDR worthwhile. If you’re looking for an affordable way to level up your football watching experience this season, this is it.
