Women’s Super League Transfer Calendar 2026/27: Key Dates

The Women’s Super League has locked in its transfer calendar for 2026/27, and the clock will start ticking early this summer.

The summer window opens on Tuesday, June 16, giving clubs a crucial stretch to reshape squads and refresh dressing rooms. Business can be done right up to 11pm (UK time) on Thursday, September 3, when the deadline will slam shut and squads will be set for the first half of the campaign.

Then comes the reset point.

The winter window will swing open on Monday, January 4, 2027, a lifeline for managers looking to correct course or push a title charge over the line. That mid-season market runs until 11pm on Thursday, February 4, offering one final burst of movement before the run-in.

Recent history shows how decisive these windows can be. Last summer’s dealings brought in Chloe Kelly, Taylor Hinds, Anneke Borbe, and Olivia Smith, key additions in a single window that changed the look and feel of the squad. January then delivered Smilla Holmberg and a loan move for Barbora Votikova, proof that smart mid-season business can add both depth and edge.

The dates are set. The plans are already being drawn up. Now the question is simple: who will use this window to tilt the balance of the WSL?
