when does the transfer window close premier league

The Premier League 2025 summer transfer window closes on Monday, September 1 at 7:00 PM BST. This closing time is four hours earlier than usual, set to allow a more normal working pattern for football staff. The window initially opened early in June for a special registration period due to the FIFA Club World Cup and then reopened on June 16 until the deadline day on September 1. After the window closes, clubs can only sign free agents not attached to any club at the time of closing. This closing time aligns with other major European leagues like LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1, although LaLiga closes slightly later at 10:59 PM BST on the same day.
