When does the summer transfer window close? New time for Deadline Day

The time for wheeling and dealing will soon be over

Deadline Day is fast approaching as another blockbuster summer transfer window enters the endgame.

We have already seen an unprecedented number of huge deals, with Morgan Rogers joining Chelsea for £117million, Tottenham smashing their transfer record twice - including the £100m signing of Sandro Tonali - as look they to add Savinho and Omar Marmoush from Manchester City.

Arsenal remain determined to sign a new left-sided attacker and will continue to pursue Julian Alvarez for the remainder of the window, while Manchester United will sign Carlos Baleba and could still add a new left-back.

Liverpool want to sign Paris Saint-Germain pair Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye, in a double deal which could cost well in excess of £150m, and remain keen on Brighton’s Yankuba Minteh in a deal which could see Cody Gakpo join Spurs.

So, still plenty more business to be done, but how long have clubs in the Premier League got to get deals over the line?

When does the transfer window close?

The 2026 summer transfer window closes on Tuesday, September 1, at 11pm BST.

It is a return to a more traditional closing time, after the last two summer windows shut at 7pm.

Should any potential transfers go right down to the wire, though, clubs can submit a ‘deal sheet’, a form which if completed in time, can give clubs a few extra hours to exchange documents and get their purchases over the line.

The transfer windows in Spain, Italy and Germany close earlier in the evening, while both the Women's Super League and Scottish Premier League windows close at 5pm on Thursday, September 3.
