The La Liga January (winter) transfer window closes on 2 February 2026 at 22:59 GMT (10:59 p.m. GMT) , which is 5:59 p.m. ET.

Quick Scoop: Key details

  • Closing day: 2 February 2026.
  • Time: 22:59 GMT / 23:59 CET (10:59 p.m. in the UK, just before midnight in mainland Spain).
  • Window period: Open from 2 January to 2 February 2026 in La Liga.
  • This is slightly later in the clock than the Premier League, Serie A and Bundesliga, which all shut at 19:00 GMT.

Why that timing matters

  • Clubs often push deals to the final hour, so expect announcements right up to that 22:59 GMT deadline.
  • Because La Liga closes later than some other leagues, Spanish clubs can still react to late outgoing or incoming moves from abroad on deadline day.

Recent trend and “latest news” angle

  • For recent windows, La Liga has aligned with other major European leagues on the date (end of August for summer, start of February for winter) but kept its own exact closing time slightly later in the evening.
  • The 2025–26 season follows that same pattern: winter 2026 runs 2 Jan–2 Feb, with the Spanish deadline a late-night finish that fuels plenty of deadline-day drama on TV and social channels.

Mini FAQ

  • Q: Is this the same every year?
    A: The end of January or early February is typical, but exact dates and times can shift slightly each season, so it is always worth checking the current campaign’s official announcement.
  • Q: What about the summer 2025 La Liga window?
    A: For context, the summer 2025 window in Spain runs from 1 July to 1 September 2025, both dates included.
