The end time of "Deadline Day" depends on the specific context, but commonly in football (soccer) transfer markets, the deadline day marks the closure of the transfer window for player signings. For example, in the 2025 summer transfer window for the Premier League and EFL clubs, Deadline Day ends at 7:00 pm BST (British Summer Time) on Monday, September 1, 2025. Clubs usually have a two-hour grace period after the window closes to finalize deals if they have submitted paperwork before the deadline. Other European leagues have similar closing times, though some vary slightly, like Spain closing a bit later. This 7:00 pm deadline is earlier than the traditional 11:00 pm deadline to allow for more normal working hours on deadline day. In the winter 2025 transfer window, deadline day ended at 11:00 pm GMT on February 3. Summarizing, Deadline Day in football typically ends in the evening of the final day of the transfer window, around 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm local time, depending on the league and season.
