Serie A proposal accepted to open January transfer window on December 28

The Italian football league, Serie A, has reached an agreement to commence the January transfer window on December 28, 2026. The proposal was put forth by the Serie A clubs and was subsequently approved by the FIGC during their recent meeting. However, the finalization of this change depends on FIFA's approval.

Currently, the transfer window is set to open on January 2, 2027, but this is the same date for other leagues such as the Premier League, La Liga, and several others. The Serie A clubs argue that beginning the window early on December 28, 2026, would enable them to conduct trades within the financial year, thereby aiding in their financial balance.

Despite this adjustment, the window is expected to close on February 1, 2027, rather than being moved entirely forward. This expansion of the window will be implemented for Serie A, Serie B, and Lega Pro clubs within Italian football.
