EFL confirm transfer window dates as Sheffield Wednesday head into pivotal summer

Wednesday have lots of work to do over the next few weeks, and while the immediate concern is with regards to putting together their retained list and entering into contract talks with all of those they want to stick around, it will soon shift to bringing in new recruits.

Danny Röhl has made it clear that he wants to get to work early, that his team is starting to take shape already by the time the squad returns for preseason, and on that note it was confirmed on Tuesday when the club - and all their counterparts in the English Football League - will be able to register new players into their ranks.

In a statement released by the league this week, they said:

The EFL has today confirmed the opening and closing dates for the 2024/25 summer and winter transfer windows.

• The summer transfer window will open from 14 June 2024 and close on Friday 30 August 2024 at 11pm.
• The winter transfer window will open on 1 January 2025 and close on Monday 3 February 2025 at 11pm.

Meanwhile, it has previously been confirmed that this year’s fixture release day will be on June 26th at 9am, with the season itself beginning on the weekend of August 10th/11th. It gives the Owls and others in the divisions just under three weeks after the campaign starts to get their business wrapped up.
