In a revolutionary move, the English Premier League Clubs agreed to a rule amendment under which the summer transfer window will end before the start of the season from the 2018/19 season onwards.
The rule amendment means the summer window will close at 17:00h GMT on the Thursday before the start of the Premier League season.
Next season the deadline for transfers by Premier League Clubs will be 17:00h BST on Thursday, August 9, 2018.
The new rule, which applies only to the acquisition of players, will be for Premier League Clubs only and has no bearing on other leagues and competitions.
Clubs will still have the ability to sell players to other leagues in which the transfer window is open, as they can now to leagues that have different transfer window dates, such as the Spanish LaLiga or the North American Major League Soccer.
Clubs agreed after discussing the topic at length at previous Shareholders’ Meetings (February 2017 and June 2017) prior to the vote yesterday, September 7.
