"Premier League Shareholders have agreed on the dates for the summer 2020 transfer window. The window will open for 10 weeks at the end of the current Premier League season, starting on July 27 and ending on October 5," read a statement from Premier League.

"Following consultation with the EFL, a domestic-only window will be added from October 5, closing 17:00 BST on October 16. During this window, Premier League clubs will only be able to trade with EFL clubs (either loans or permanent registrations). No transfers can take place between Premier League clubs in this period. The transfer window is subject to the approval of FIFA," the statement said.

The current 2019-20 season of the Premier League will complete on July 27 with Liverpool lifting the title for the 19th time after a gap of 30 years.

While Premier League clubs will be able to make signings before the Champions League and Europa League reach their respective conclusions next month, UEFA has already confirmed no new recruits will be able to compete.

UEFA Nations League matches are scheduled to take place from September 3-8.

A date for the start of the 2020-21 Premier League season is yet to be confirmed, though it has been reported it could commence on the final weekend of August.

UEFA Nations League matches are scheduled to take place from September 3-8, meaning that if an August start is not possible the campaign may not begin until the weekend of September 12.
