When does the January transfer window open and close?

With the delayed start to this season’s summer window, the January market has been quieter than usual but there are still deals to get over the line.

Clubs are out to improve their squad ahead of the deadline which is fast approaching as the month comes to a close.

Here's all the information you need on the start and end of the January window.

When did the January window open?

The winter transfer window opened for business on January 4, 2021.

When does the January window close?

The window will close on February 1, 2021.

This will enable clubs to complete countless deals, with the closure of the window pushed back a little due to the fact that January 31 is a Sunday.

Loan deals also tend to punctuate the January window, with out-of-favour players often seeking first-team minutes elsewhere. This season, those decisions may be impacted by a congested calendar, however.

Is there an extended window for loan and EFL clubs?

No. Unlike in October, there is no extra time allocated for trading between the Premier League and the EFL.
