When does the January transfer window open for business for Premier League clubs after big summer net spend
The January transfer window is always a hectic period for clubs across the Premier League and the EFL.
Sunderland are currently formulating their plans for the January transfer window as they consider strengthening Regis Le Bris’ squad ahead of the second half of a historic season.
The Black Cats secured deals for the likes of Malick Fofana, Thomas Meunier and Jules Ahoka during the summer transfer window as they prepared for only the second European campaign in their history. It has been a challenging season so far for the former Lorient boss and his squad as they are sitting in the Premier League relegation zone. The Europa League campaign and a run to the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup have provided promise - but there is a need to add to their ranks in the new year. So what do we know about the January transfer window?
When does the January transfer window open?
Sunderland and their Premier League rivals will be able to finalise transfer deals from Friday, January 1 as the January 2027 transfer window officially opens for business.
When does the January transfer window close?
The January 2027 transfer window will close for business on Monday, February 1. Clubs will have until 11pm to conclude their business - although they can secure a further two hours to finalise deals by submitting a deal sheet to the Premier League.
