Summer Transfer Window 2025: Key Dates and Club World Cup Signings
The first summer transfer window of 2025 is set to close on Tuesday, 10 June at 19:00 BST. This year, the summer transfer period has been divided into two windows, with the first window opening on Sunday, 1 June. The early window was specifically designed to allow teams participating in the Club World Cup to make player signings before the tournament kicks off on 15 June. The second transfer window will commence on Monday, 16 June, and will run until Monday, 1 September at 19:00 BST for Premier League, EFL, and Scottish Premiership clubs. This split in the transfer window is in accordance with FIFA rules, which stipulate that a transfer window cannot exceed 16 weeks in a calendar year.
Manchester City and Chelsea are the two Premier League clubs set to compete in the Club World Cup, but all teams had the opportunity to participate in the early transfer window. Real Madrid took advantage of this early window to secure the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool before their Club World Cup campaign.
