The EFL have confirmed the Championship will move their transfer window in line with the Premier League from next season.
The move comes after a consultation process with the clubs, who voted their preference before a formal vote.
It follows the Premier League’s decision from last season to ensure squads are settled before the first game of the season.
A statement from the EFL read: “The deadline for Championship Clubs for all incoming permanent and loan registrations will close at 5pm on Thursday 8 August, 2019.
“League One and League Two Clubs will have until 5pm on Monday 2 September, 2019, due to August 31 falling on a Saturday.”
