<P> Premier League clubs in England voted to end the summer window on the Thursday before the start of the season - on August 9 in 2018 , instead of August 31 . Because FIFA demands the window must be open for 12 weeks , the window will open around May 17 , shortly after the final games of the season on May 13 . Clubs will be able to sell players until August 31 but not buy replacements after the deadline of August 9 . </P>
