How Many Loan Players Are You Allowed in the Premier League?​

According to the Premier League’s official handbook, a club can register a maximum of four players on loan during the course of the season, and only two at the same time.

Premier League Loan Rules from Abroad​

The limited number of players that a Premier League club can sign on temporary transfers is only applicable on local loans (from English and Welsh clubs). As the official EPL website confirms, loaning players from abroad doesn’t count towards the quotas mentioned above.


Premier League Loan Rules [IN-SUMMARY]​

In this section we’ll enumerate the most important loan rules applied in the Premier League.

  • A club can only have two players on loan from other domestic clubs registered at the same time.
  • During the season, a club can only register a total of four players on loan from other domestic sides.
  • A club cannot loan more than one player from the same club during the same season.
  • A club cannot loan out a player who was bought in the same transfer window.
  • A club cannot loan out more than one goalkeeper to other EPL clubs.
  • These quotas are only applicable on loans conducted between domestic clubs (professional clubs based in England and Wales).

No mention of how many foreign loans on that, however on sports.legal to do with FIFA's regulation change from last summer;

    1. A phased-in restriction on the number of international loans in and out during each season as follows:
    • Season 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023: maximum of 8 players
    • Season 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024: maximum of 7 players
    • Season 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025: maximum of 6 players


I cannot find anywhere that states the "OVERALL" total of loans allowed. So perhaps the limit isn't three or four, but it just doesn't happen.

Went through this the other day on here. PL rules state:
2 domestic loans at any one time, 4 domestic allowed in total over the course of the season. Loans from foreign clubs (apart from Welsh ones) don't count towards the totals.

No limit set by PL on foreign loans. Uefa/FIFA set total loans (foreign and domestic) as much higher, but the number is going to be reduced each season, so at the moment total loans are either 6, 7 or 8. Can't remember which, but it is far more than 4 (2 domestic, 2 foreign).

Fair play then, i'll shut right up

If Gordon going allows us to get in 2 or 3 attacking options then I’d probably do it. He’s sulked all season and is offering nothing at the moment.

It’s a shame how his season has gone for us. We were all waiting for him to kick on this season but just hasn’t looked the same player, even going back to pre season he was terrible.

I think it’s best for us and his own career he moves on. We get money we need to reinvest and he can kick start his career elsewhere.

I thought so, but when i did all the research on Tuesday, there is no specified cap for international loans other than the rules they've introduced about 8, to, 7, to 6, which specifies that counts towards ins and outs.

As I said to goat, i havent seen any top level club take 6/7 loans at once though, so there must be a cap somewhere. Not entirely sure.

There was no smoke without a fire around the whole Chelsea saga. When you think about it the club put a huge amount of faith in him under Carlo Benitez and Lampard. We shifted out a lot of other options and allowed him a run in the first team at 19. He did ok for us last season but we went all in this season on basically building our attacking threat around him and making him our star.

He basically repaid us by wanting to take the first offer that came his way from a sky six club, and then sulking the rest of the season about it.

I know all footballers are out for themselves but he could have easily turned down Chelsea, agreed with Everton that he’d give us another season of top form if we’d let him go the next summer window and everyone would have been happy.

We don’t need that sort of character dragging on the squad.

Ah i see changes came in this season, this is i think the new rule:

So maximum 4, 2 loans each window.

The new rules say you are allowed register 2 per window so maximum of four in total over a season between summer and Winter widow.

So we had Vinarge and Coady last window and Danjuma this window, so we have one slot left.

Thats my read of it anyway mate.
