Overview
- The Premier League and the English Football League confirmed the summer registration window will run from June 15 until 11pm on September 1 after a joint announcement this week.
- Teams may announce agreements before June 15 but can only register players once the window opens, which is why some signings are public now but not yet formalised.
- Many contracts expire on June 30, turning players into free agents who can sign without transfer fees after that date and shifting some clubs’ timing for new deals.
- Several pre-window agreements have been reported as settled, including Daniel McCarron to Arsenal, Jeremy Jacquet to Liverpool and Cristian Orozco to Manchester United, each subject to age or registration conditions.
- Keeping the market open during the World Cup means clubs can react to tournament performances and complete business while the event runs, returning the calendar to its normal single-window pattern after last year’s Club World Cup exception.
