Premier League clubs have a two-month window to seal transfer deals.
The 2023-2024 Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) season will start on Saturday, August 26 and end in May 2024, with clubs given two months to sign players.
FKF is yet to make public the new league calendar but Pulse Sports has information that the off-season transfer window will open on June 26 and close on the August 21, five days before the new season begins.

FKFPL Sorry Gor Mahia and Tusker! Mwendwa explains why Premier League winner will receive no money
This is set to be a big blow to the title-chasing clubs, who would have wanted a better way to finish the season.
The season will then end in May, in line with the FIFA calendar, which sees major leagues around the world conclude in almost the same week.
The 2022-23 FKFPL campaign started late, owing to the ban Kenya was handed by FIFA in February 2022, and is set to end on June 24, nearly one month after other leagues have been concluded.

FOOTBALL Kenyan defender misses promotion to English Championship by six seconds in thrilling final
The Playoff had everything including a red card and a final minute goal.
Kenya’s suspension has hit the league hard as either Tusker FC or Gor Mahia, who are favourites to be crowned champions this season, will not be getting anything in return for their efforts after FKF president Nick Mwendwa revealed last week that the federation is cash-strapped.
"We will not have any prize giving, where is the money going to come from? This was just a rescue season,” Mwendwa told the Standard last week. “We might want to try and even have a gala, but we don’t have the statistics and a committee in place that should have been following players’ performances.”

FKFPL Tusker linked with a move for AFC Leopards defender Lewis Bandi
The Brewers are keen to add Bandi to their ranks to help improve their defence.
However, plans are underway for a more rewarding 2023-24 campaign with Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba assuring teams and players that things will be different this time as there will be a broadcast sponsor for the league.
“I promise you, we are putting together a mega package, a package that has never been seen before ahead of the start of the next Kenya Premier League (FKFPL) season that will include a live broadcast of football, that will include significant sponsorship money going to the pockets of clubs and therefore the bags of players that is part of what we’re putting together under this Talanta Hela programme,” the CS said on Tuesday.

STARS ABROAD Wanyama opens up on new fixture experience in Canada never witnessed in England
The 31-year-old turned out for Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur during his time in England.
The opening of the transfer window will, therefore, see heightened activity with AFC Leopards’ Lewis Bandi already being reported to be on his way to Tusker.
Gor Mahia and Leopards are likely to be the busiest teams in the transfer market after the end of their transfer bans that made it impossible to add new players in the last window.
