Coventry City will be allowed to sign players from June 1 after the EFL have announced a new transfer window for this summer.
The EFL will allow clubs to trade from June 1 to June 10 to match the Premier League’s mini window before the Club World Cup.
Clubs competing in the Club World Cup in the United States will use the window to sign players specifically for that tournament. Out-of-contract players can also sign short-term deals to participate in the Club World Cup.
A statement from the EFL explained: “Due to an additional FIFA Club World Cup Registration Period introduced ahead of the start of the FIFA Club World Cup, the EFL and its clubs have agreed that the summer transfer window shall operate for an additional ten-day period from Sunday 1 June 2025 to 19:00 on Tuesday 10 June 2025. This is due to the transfer window being unable to exceed a total of 89 days.
“The FIFA regulation on this matter permits the member associations of clubs playing in the FIFA Club World Cup to establish this exceptional registration period, and there is therefore likely to be considerable transfer activity taking place across the world’s major leagues during this time.
“The EFL therefore believes that its clubs should also have the opportunity to be active in the market at this time.”
Trading will stop for six days before the normal summer transfer window commences on June 16.
Deadline day this year will be Monday, September 1 and all transfers must be completed by 7pm.
