When does the January transfer window open and close? Times and dates for English and European clubs

The January transfer window is fast approaching as clubs eye reinforcements heading into the second half of the season.

With injuries a problem for teams across Europe amid a hectic schedule, it is likely to be a busy month of incomings and outgoings, particularly with such a competitive Premier League title race.

Arsenal, Liverpool and even potentially Aston Villa will feel they can take the trophy away from Manchester City, with January arrivals potentially the key to ensuring clubs can sustain their push.

Newcastle will surely be busy in attempting to contend with their injury crisis, while Mauricio Pochettino has made it clear he wants further reinforcements at Chelsea.

Premier League clubs spent a combined £815million in the January transfer window last year - there is every chance that figure grows this time.

Here is all you need to know about how long the window will remain open...

When does the January transfer window open?

The January transfer window in England will open on Monday, January 1, 2024.

That is the same in Germany and France, but the window does not open until Tuesday, January 2 for Spanish and Italian clubs.

When does the January transfer window close?

Premier League clubs have slightly longer than their European counterparts to do their transfer business.

The window will close for English teams at 11pm GMT on Thursday, February 1, 2024.

The Bundesliga transfer window ends at 5pm on the same day, while it is Wednesday, January 31 for those in Ligue 1.

La Liga teams will have until 11pm on January 31, with that deadline coming four hours earlier in Italy.
