Everything you need to know about the 2025 summer transfer window

The English Football Association has announced dates for the commencement of the 2025 summer transfer window ahead of the new football season ( 2025/26).

The Premier League announced the news in its official website on Thursday, March 27, 2025 confirming that it will have two transfer windows this summer which will allow Manchester City and Chelsea to sign players before the Club World Cup.

Chelsea and Manchester City are the Premier League teams in the tournament which takes place in the United States from Sunday, June. Meanwhile, the Premier League can only have 12 weeks of a summer window which is why the five-day break in order to run it until September 1, 2025.

I2 weeks counting from June 1, 2025 will elapse on August 24, 2025 but the Premier League wants to close as the same date as the top leagues in Europe hence the reason for the five days break so it can close on the first day of September.
