5 months late

Judge Chun's December 15, 2025 order moves the "Bench Trial" from "February 9, 2027" to "March 29, 2027" ("The Court approves the proposed schedule"), and the August 26, 2026 joint status report still lists "March 29, 2027 Bench Trial".^[1]

First promised for 10/13/2026; now 5 months later. Stated: about five and a half months late (October 13, 2026 to March 29, 2027) in two moves - a June 2025 amended order pushed it to February 9, 2027 after the FTC sought more time over Amazon's alleged discovery obstruction, then the December 15, 2025 order, issued after the 2025 government-shutdown stay, moved it seven weeks to March 29, 2027.

FTC v. Amazon Monopoly Trial Begins in Seattle

The FTC and state attorneys general take Amazon to a bench trial before Judge John Chun over claims it illegally keeps its online marketplace monopoly by overcharging sellers and punishing those who offer lower prices elsewhere. The trial has slipped twice from its original October 2026 date.

Judge John H. Chun's December 15, 2025 order, issued after the court's October 1, 2025 stay for the government shutdown, moves the bench trial from February 9, 2027 to March 29, 2027, with a pretrial conference on March 15, 2027 and trial briefs due March 22, 2027^[1]
The parties' August 26, 2026 joint status report still lists the March 29, 2027 bench trial; the FTC is joined by the attorneys general of states and territories including New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Puerto Rico and Wisconsin^[2]
The report says the court gave the plaintiffs leave on April 29, 2026 to conduct additional discovery "into the extent of Amazon's spoliation", and that a second Economics Day hearing is set for December 4, 2026^[2]
Judge Chun first set the trial for October 13, 2026; the FTC says Amazon maintains a monopoly over the online marketplace by overcharging sellers and degrading quality for shoppers, citing sellers who say Amazon retaliated against them for offering lower prices on other platforms^[6]
In May 2025 the FTC asked to push the trial into 2027 to account for Amazon's alleged efforts to obstruct discovery, while Amazon said it was the FTC that insisted on a burdensome discovery^[5]
Amazon lost its bid to keep the October 2026 date: a June 2025 amended scheduling order set the bench trial to start February 9, 2027^[4]
In December 2025 Amazon and the FTC jointly proposed March 29, 2027, on the understanding that the parties to the coordinated District of Columbia v. Amazon case would ask to move its May 10, 2027 trial date^[3]
