The 2026 summer transfer window promises to be another busy period, after a record £9.49 billion ($13.08bn) was spent on international transfers in the men’s game in 2025, according to FIFA‘s Global Transfer Report.
This summer the FIFA World Cup starts on June 11, but that won’t stop clubs signing players throughout.
As ever, clubs in all leagues after the deadline, as long as they are not officially attached to any club when the window closes.
Deals can be agreed between leagues with transfer windows which are closed. They will be officially completed when the signing club’s window is open.
All dates are correct as listed by FIFA’s Transfer Window Calendar.
