Team News: The summer window of Ligue 1 will be closed early to 20:00 on September 1, and will be in line with the five major European leagues.

reported on August 21 that the French Ligue 1 summer transfer window will be closed in advance.

The transfer deadline for this year is advanced: the French Ligue 1 summer transfer window will be closed at 20:00 on September 1 (France time), several hours ahead of previous years, and consistent with other European leagues.

In the past few years, the closing time of the transfer window has been advanced from 23:59 to 23:00 to avoid last-minute administrative problems. The club needs to complete the transfer procedures through the FIFA platform before midnight.

This year, the French Professional Football League decided to further adjust the deadline to be consistent with the England, Italy and Germany leagues, which all agreed to close the transfer window in advance.

The German League has tried this in 2024, while the England and Italian leagues set the deadline at 23:00 last year. The Spanish League continued to maintain the deadline of 23:59 on September 1.
