EFL confirm summer transfer window dates

EFL confirm transfer window dates for this summer

The EFL has confirmed the summer transfer window will run from the start of June to 1 September, mirroring the Premier League with a six-day break in the middle of next month.

Dates for summer trading were issued by the top flight in March with the window containing a short break between 10-16 June to accommodate FIFA's Club World Cup registration period.

After a delay while EFL clubs voted on arrangements, the league has confirmed transfers can be registered from Sunday 1 June to Tuesday 10 June (19:00 BST) and from Monday 16 June to 1 September (19:00).

The six-day break is due to an additional FIFA Club World Cup registration period ahead of the start of the 32-team tournament which runs from 15 June-13 July in the United States.
