The summer transfer window for Premier League and EFL clubs is set to close at 23:00 BST on Tuesday, September 1, 2026. The window reopened on June 15. Last season, the closing time was adjusted to 19:00 BST for convenience, but it has reverted to the traditional 23:00 BST. Other European leagues, including Spain, Germany, and Italy, will close their windows on the same day, albeit earlier. Clubs in Scotland and the Women’s Super League have until September 3 to finalize transfers.
