English Football League clubs voted to lessen sanctions on teams failing to meet financial obligations, changing the previous three-window ban for late payments to a one-window restriction. This decision was made during the EFL's Annual General Meeting on June 4, 2026. The change aims to allow for more individualized assessments of clubs in breach of financial regulations. Clubs will retain the right to appeal restrictions, while the EFL maintains the authority to impose charges for serious repeat offenses. Rick Parry has been re-elected as EFL chairman for another term, extending his tenure to ten years.
