When does the transfer window open and close for Premier League clubs?
The winter transfer window for Premier League clubs opens on Thursday 1st January 2026. Clubs will have until Monday February 2nd to conclude transfer deals, with the deadline set for 7pm UK time on this date.
When is the January transfer window for Europe’s top five leagues?
The Bundesliga (Germany) and Ligue 1 (France) also begin their mid-season transfer business on January 1st. However, clubs in Serie A (Italy) and La Liga (Spain) will need to wait until the following day (January 2nd) to begin transfer deals.
England, Italy Germany and France all have a transfer deadline of 7pm UK time on February 2nd. The window for Spanish sides will shut four hours later, at 11pm GMT.
What are the dates for the Women’s Super League transfer window in January?
The WSL winter window will run a day later than the Premier League. Clubs can sign new players from Friday 2nd January 2026, up until the deadline on Tuesday 3rd February 2026.
With an upcoming Asian Cup set to take players from South Korea, Japan, China and Australia in March, several WSL sides could invest to cover the loss of those representatives.
