The 2023/24 season is reaching a thrilling conclusion, but clubs will soon be turning their attention to what promises to be a busy summer of transfers.
The transfer window in the Premier League and EFL officially opens on Friday June 14, the same day the European Championships begin when Scotland take on hosts Germany.
The window will close on August 30 at 11pm UK time.
The Premier League has brought forward Deadline Day to ensure harmonisation with the major leagues in Europe. The closing dates were set following discussions with the leagues in England, Germany, Italy, Spain and France.
The Premier League season begins on August 17, meaning the window will remain open for the first two weeks of the campaign. The final round of games will take place on May 25, 2025.
The EFL season begins a week earlier on the weekend of August 10/11.
Signings are often announced outside a transfer window, but a player will not be able to be registered to play for their new side until the window opens.
Free agents can sign for a team at any time, as they are not contracted to another club.
If a player is to become a free agent at the start of July, they can agree a transfer to another club but will not officially be their player until their contract is over.
The winter transfer window in the Premier League and EFL will open on New Year's Day and close on Monday February 3 at 11pm. This is the same in Germany, Italy, Spain and France.
