The window will open early, between Sunday 1 June and Tuesday 10 June, due to an exceptional registration period relating to the Fifa Club World Cup.
It will then reopen on Monday 16 June and close on Monday 1 September.

Here are some of your comments:
Josh: That we have terrible goalkeeper options. Pope's decision making and kicking are awful and Dubravka is too old. Signing a new keeper is a must in the summer.
Hughie: No one's noticed that Newcastle actually have the best midfield three in the league. We have the perfect balance with Bruno playmaking, Tonali dictating play and spraying passes like it's no one's business, and Joelinton doing all the dirty work at at very high level.
Chris: Probably the fact that in the last two to three transfer windows we've made no first team transfers, and yet are still challenging for top four and we've won a cup! Not many teams can boast or do that.
Joe: Lots of talk around securing European football next season but I feel people are ignoring the obvious lack of depth in the squad. Cup final was EPIC but you can't deny that the other competitions suffered somewhat in the run-up. We need a big summer transfer window and with clubs making little to no effort to disguise their intentions of going after the likes of Isak and Tonali, we also have work to do to even maintain the status quo.
There have been many standout free-kicks in the FA Cup over the years, so BBC Sport has wound back the years and selected a few to celebrate all over again.
For Newcastle, it had to be Laurent Robert's stunner against Liverpool on Saturday, 24 January 2004.
"He's done it again!" The commentator gasped as the ball soared past the stationary Reds players with pace and power.
The goalkeeper had no chance.
Fast forward to 02'19:00 to watch in all its glory.

It has been a season to remember for Newcastle.
With a trophy in the bag, Eddie Howe's side are just two points off fourth in the Premier League, so there is still plenty more to play for.
But Magpies fans, you know your club best, is there anything slipping under the radar?
We'd like you to tell us the one thing that no-one is talking about at Newcastle but really should be.

Image source, Getty ImagesWhen it comes to a player who needs to do more as we head into the final few weeks of the season, the truth of the situation is that all of our players have worked really hard this campaign.
When we have lost, we have lost as a collective. It has not been because one player is dragging us down.
But... There are around 10 more games to go, and we would like to secure Champions League football thus retaining our best players for another season, so perhaps I am allowed to reframe the question as - who would I like to see continue to be really great for us this season?
I am going to pick Anthony Gordon, because this season for him has been a little more up and down than his previous campaign-and-a-half. He was instrumental in getting us to the Champions League last time, and I would like him to be instrumental in getting us there this time.
Admittedly, he cannot play in one of the games because of the red card he picked up against Brighton, but all the more reason for him to give it his all for the remainder of the season, right?
Do not get me wrong - he has been brilliant for the most part this term, and when he got the red card many of us were convinced that we had no chance against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final, such is his influence on the pitch when he is having a good day.
I would love to be able to finish the season as we did in 2022-23, singing his name and getting excited about Champions League football.

Image source, Getty ImagesThe fans might expect blood, sweat and tears every time a player adorns the Three Lions shirt but in truth they have to manage their situations. Another two cruise-controlled performances at Wembley, with players not wanting to risk injury, was always going to be very likely.
It is different for some players and while a random single England cap might mean less to someone like Jude Bellingham in years to come, for Dan Burn it was nothing short of a dream. It is rare in the modern era for such an unorthodox player, so late in developing and so generally loved to get this fabulous moment at Wembley.
This wasn't a sympathy cap either, he absolutely deserved that first call up against Albania at the age of 32. When you add the cup final for Newcastle, his local hero, and iconic-in-an-instant goal, it may well be the best, most heart-warming story in the whole of English football this season. It makes you believe that this corporate controlled, money driven game actually might have a soul after all.

Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on Newcastle's Carabao Cup celebration plans following the news that the club have now organised for an open-top bus parade to take place before Saturday's open-air event.
Here are some of your comments:
Joe: Great idea for the event but far too long. We don't need to see the game again. (We might lose lol).
The bus route is far too short. It should be down St James Boulevard, around Central Station, back along Boulevard onto Gallowgate, along Percy Street through Haymarket and along to Town Moor.
Chris: Pleased to hear there will now be an open top celebration. The feedback on social media about the ticketed event has been very negative and felt like the club were trying to limit the fans' ability to show their appreciation and somehow profit from the experience. At least all fans now get the chance to show their support.
Lesley: Why limit how many can enjoy this? This is literally what people have been waiting for a lifetime to come around. A parade is what was expected and needed. How many people applied for the 100,000 free tickets? I bet it was over 250,000. A complete shambles.

The bus route - which will be confirmed on Tuesday - will be open to the public, with the event on the Town Moor ticketed.
It was announced on Friday that the free-to-attend celebration event will feature a DJ, a live band, highlights of the Magpies' run to Wembley, a screening of the cup final victory over Liverpool and special guests, before the team lift the Carabao Cup on stage.

Image source, Getty ImagesNewcastle United have announced plans to celebrate their Carabao Cup win with supporters at an open-air event.
The free-to-attend celebration will take place on Saturday, 29 March and will be set around a large main stage on the Town Moor, adjacent to the Great North Road.
Fans will see manager Eddie Howe and the first-team players with the cup for the first time since the Wembley victory that secured their first domestic trophy for 70 years.
The club says the event will feature a DJ, live band, highlights of their run to Wembley, a screening of the full cup final and special guests, before the team lift the Carabao Cup on stage.
Image source, Getty ImagesIt shows how special a week Newcastle have had by the fact we asked columnist Fara Williams who should win the Ballon d'Or - given the only two obvious candidates are Dan Burn and Jacob Murphy.
In [almost] complete sincerity, she answered:
Probably Jacob Murphy because most people who win the Ballon d'Or are more attack-minded players so he would probably be favoured more by the people voting.
They both have had really good seasons.
Dan Burn's story and where he's come from is so inspiring. In the nicest possible way it shows that talent isn't everything and hard work, grit, and determination to achieve something is key.
His journey has been amazing and his last week - to get a first international call-up at 32 and score in a Carabao Cup final - is amazing.
I'd give the Ballon d'Or to Burn but I think Murphy would be voted for as an attacker as that is how it works.
Murphy has had such a good season. Fans were calling for him to go and saying he wasn't good enough a few years ago and he fought back, went on a great run in the team, and now is a key component, even if Burn pips him to my Ballon d'Or award.
Fara Williams was speaking to BBC Sport's Nat Hayward
Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Newcastle defender John Anderson still believes Nick Pope is better than England's current goalkeepers Aaron Ramsdale, Dean Henderson and James Trafford.
Pope, who has 10 international caps, was not one of the four keepers included in Thomas Tuchel's squad for March's 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.
Henderson, Trafford and Ramsdale were called up along with Jordan Pickford.
"Pickford is obviously England's number one and rightly so, but I would say Nick Pope is definitely better than the rest of them," said Anderson on BBC Radio Newcastle.
Trafford, who has been linked with a move to Newcastle on multiple occasions, has kept 27 clean sheets in 38 matches for Championship outfit Burnley.
"He is up and coming and has had an exceptional season with Burnley," said Anderson on the possibility of signing the 22-year-old this summer.
"He is young and can only get better."
