The January transfer window for the Premier League, EFL, Scottish clubs, and the Women's Super League has officially opened, providing an opportunity for clubs to make moves before the deadline on February 3, 2025, at 23:00 GMT.
In the Premier League and EFL, the main summer transfer window will run from June 16 to September 1, 2025, with an early window from June 1 to June 10 due to FIFA's Club World Cup registration period.

Scottish clubs' transfer window dates for 2025 have not been specified, but they typically follow a similar pattern.
One of the notable deals made on the opening day of the January transfer window is the loan of Ronnie Edwards from Southampton to QPR, and Ashley Hay from Brentford to Cheltenham. Another significant transfer confirmed is Josh Robinson's move from Arsenal to Wigan, although the transfer fee was not disclosed.
The January transfer window offers clubs the chance to strengthen their squads and make strategic moves to secure their positions in their respective leagues. As the deadline approaches, more deals are expected to be announced.
