The English Premier League has announced the dates for the summer and winter transfer windows for the upcoming 2024/25 season. This information was shared on the league’s official website on Wednesday, May 15, 2024.
Transfer Window Dates:
- Summer Transfer Window: Opens on Friday, June 14, 2024, and closes at 11 pm BST on Friday, August 30, 2024.
- Winter Transfer Window: Opens on Wednesday, January 1, 2025, and closes at 11 pm GMT on Monday, February 3, 2025.
The Premier League confirmed that these dates were set to align with major European leagues. This harmonization was achieved through discussions with the EFL, DFL, Serie A, La Liga, and LFP, all of which will close their summer and winter transfer windows on August 30 and February 3, respectively.
2023/24 Transfer Window Spending:
In the 2023/24 transfer window, Premier League clubs spent a record £2.5 billion ($3.1 billion) on transfers across both windows, surpassing all other leagues globally. However, the upcoming season might see reduced spending due to the threat of points deductions for breaching profit and sustainability rules.
Start of the 2024/25 Season:
The 2024/25 Premier League season is set to begin on August 17, 2024.
