Transfer Window 2026: Deadline Day Done Deals and Key Dates
Updated September 2, 2026 · Window closes Closed Tuesday September 1, 2026, 11pm UK time
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.
The window at a glance
The 2026 summer window uniquely overlapped the World Cup — clubs negotiated around a tournament for the first time under the expanded 48-team format, and most of the big business landed in the six weeks between the July 19 final and deadline day.
