When does the first summer transfer window close?

  • Published

The first summer transfer window of 2025 will close on Tuesday, 10 June at 19:00 BST.

The summer has been split into two windows this year, with the first having opened on Sunday, 1 June.

The early window allowed teams participating in the Club World Cup the chance to sign players before the tournament begins on 15 June.

The second window will open on Monday, 16 June, before closing on Monday, 1 September at 19:00 BST for Premier League, EFL and Scottish Premiership clubs.

Fifa rules state a transfer window cannot last more than 16 weeks in a calendar year, hence the split this summer.

Manchester City and Chelsea are the two Premier League clubs competing at the Club World Cup, but any team can participate in the early window.

Real Madrid made use of the window to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool before they compete at the Club World Cup.
