When does the January 2023 transfer window close?

The January 2023 transfer window is set to close soon, with clubs across the Premier League and Europe looking to finalise their business to prepare themselves for the remainder of a busy season.

As always, there is a cut off point when all clubs will need to have sorted their transfer dealings. Deadline day can be exciting or nervy affairs, depending on the incomings and outgoings at your club - losing a star player can be a kick in the teeth, while bringing in proven quality can provide promise to the rest of the campaign.

Transfer deadline day usually provides plenty of movement between players and clubs as well, with some teams working right up until the last minute in an attempt to sort their squad for the final months of the gruelling 2022/23 season.

However, it's not always easy to know when the transfer deadline is – partly because it's different from league to league, it changes from year to year, and because some teams never seem to be able to meet it.

When does the transfer window close?

The transfer window closes for Premier League and English clubs at 11pm GMT on January 31, meaning that any business not concluded before then will have to wait until the summer.
