The rollout is officially beginning August 24, 2026, at select locations, with Walmart planning to expand Tap to Pay to all U.S. Walmart and Sam’s Club locations by the end of 2026.
But exactly when will Apple Pay be available at Walmart in your state?
That’s where things get a little less official.
