The Premier League and English Football League (EFL) transfer windows will open on July 27 and close on October 5.
The ten-week period was agreed by stakeholders on Wednesday but is subject to approval by FIFA.
International transfers must be completed by October 5 but there will be a domestic-only window between 5-16 October.
The Premier League clubs will only be able to conduct transfers with EFL clubs and not with each other.
A Premier League statement read: ‘’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 27 July and ending on 5 October.
‘’Following consultation with the EFL, a domestic-only window will be added from 5 October, closing 17:00 BST on 16 October.
‘’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.’’
Premier League clubs will be able to sign players before the conclusion of the European competitions. However, the new signings will not be able to compete.
A date for the start of the 2020-21 Premier League season is yet to be confirmed.
