The current Premier League winter transfer window closes at 7:00 pm GMT on Monday 2 February 2026.

Quick Scoop

Key details

• Closing date: Monday 2 February 2026.

• Closing time: 7:00 pm GMT (often called “Deadline Day” cut-off).

• Reason it’s 2 February: the traditional 31 January date falls on a weekend, so the deadline moves to the next working day.

• Usual January window span: opens 1 January, runs through to that early-evening deadline on 2 February in 2026.

After 7:00 pm GMT, clubs can only finish deals already logged via a “deal sheet” grace period, not start brand‑new transfers.
