The summer 2026 window ran June 15 to September 1 and closed at 11pm UK time on Tuesday, September 1 — the first window to wrap around a World Cup, and the market duly exploded after Spain beat Argentina 1-0 in the July 19 final at MetLife Stadium. This page is now the closed-window record: the key dates as they fell, and the confirmed Premier League deals, each verified against the club or league announcement before being listed. The January 2027 window opens on Friday, January 1 and closes at 11pm on February 1.
