The window closes at 19:00 GMT, meaning teams - and fans - can avoid the usual late-night transfer scramble.
It has already been a busy window - for some teams anyway - but whether it turns out to be a day of transfer action or a pretty quiet one for your club, you will be able to keep across it all on BBC Sport.
Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday are looking to change their fortunes with both sides coming into the clash on Tuesday (19:45 GMT) holding two of the worst forms in the Championship.
Rovers' narrow 0-1 loss to Hull City on Saturday was their 14th of the season and leaves them three points from safety in 22nd (W7 D8 L14).
They haven't won a league match since their 2-0 victory against Millwall in December whilst Wednesday's home defeat to Wrexham over the weekend was their seventh consecutive in all competitions. They are rooted at the bottom on -7 points (W1 D8 L20).
The last two league meetings between Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday have finished level, with the reverse fixture this season ending goalless in December – the pair have only previously drawn three in a row between October 1914 and October 1919.
Sheffield Wednesday have lost only two of their last nine Championship away games against Blackburn Rovers (W3 D4), going unbeaten on each of their most recent three trips to Ewood Park (W1 D2).
Blackburn Rovers have won just one of their last 13 home league games played in midweek (Tue/Wed/Thu – D6 L6), going winless in eight (D3 L5) since a 3-0 win over Portsmouth in January last year.
Sheffield Wednesday are winless in their last 10 away league games (D3 L7), last going longer without victory on the road between April and November 2013 (12). Only Shrewsbury Town (6) have won fewer away points in the EFL so far in 2025-26 than the Owls (7 – P13 W1 D4 L8).
Blackburn manager Valerien Ismael has only lost one of his six Championship games against Sheffield Wednesday (W2 D3), suffering a home defeat with Barnsley in a Yorkshire derby in March 2021.
Pedersen: 'We started to create something'
Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen believes his side did "all they could" in their 1-0 home defeat by Wrexham.
Sam Smith poked in the winner for the Welsh club in the 58th minute from Issa Kabore's low cross as Wednesday suffered their sixth straight Championship loss.
Despite the challenges on and off the pitch for Wednesday, Pedersen was more than satisfied with his players' efforts.
"It's been a difficult week, with Barry [Bannan] going and the transfer window closing," said Pedersen to BBC Radio Sheffield after the game.
"We wanted to keep all of the energy on the performance, and in training yesterday it was great.
"We wanted to bring this energy on to the pitch. When I look at the 94 minutes, I think the players did all that they could to match a very strong Wrexham team who are fighting for the top six."
The Owls are now 34 points adrift at the bottom of the table and are away to Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday evening.

Image source, Getty ImagesSheffield Wednesday are hoping to complete the signing of Luton Town striker Jerry Yates before the weekend.
The Owls, who need EFL approval for any signing made while they remain in administration, would be adding the 29-year-old on loan.
Yates, who only joined the Hatters last August for a reported seven-figure fee, will be looking to bolster Wednesday's attack, with the club failing to score a goal in their past seven games.
Earlier this, week club captain Barry Bannan moved to Millwall.
Meanwhile, Wednesday also rejected a bid from the Lions for striker Bailey Cadamarteri. Blackburn Rovers also had an offer turned down for the 20-year-old.
There's strong interest in midfielder Svante Ingelsson, with Portsmouth said to be among his admirers.
Sheffield Wednesday begin life without long-serving midfielder Barry Bannan with a home game against play-off chasing Wrexham.
The Owls, along with East Grinstead of the Isthmian League South East Division, are the only side in the top eight tiers of English football to record a home win this season.
Wrexham will arrive in south Yorkshire having won their past three away games for the first time in the second tier.
Sheffield Wednesday are unbeaten in their past four league games against Wrexham (W3 D1), although the one they did fail to win was in this season's reverse fixture (2-2 in August).
This will be Wrexham's first away league match at Sheffield Wednesday in two decades, since a 4-0 defeat in the third tier on 3 January 2005.
Sheffield Wednesday have not scored in any of their past six league matches; last going seven in a row without finding the net in December 2005, under Paul Sturrock.
Only Watford (24) and Coventry (16) have won more points from losing positions than Wrexham (15) in the Championship this season; three of which came in their last outing, a 3-2 win at Queens Park Rangers.
Since the start of the 2019-20 season, Sheffield Wednesday's win percentage without Barry Bannan in Championship games is just 18% (2/11), compared to 28% when the Scotsman does play (56/201).
Image source, ShutterstockBarry Bannan's emotional Hillsborough exit was confirmed on Wednesday after the 36-year-old left Sheffield Wednesday for Millwall.
After 477 appearances, 37 goals and 75 assists for the Owls, it brought about the end of an era that spanned 10 years.
We asked for your Bannan highlights and what stands out most about his decade-long spell at Wednesday. Here are a selection of your responses:
Pete: In the L1 play-off semi final v Peterborough at Hillsborough we were pressing for a fourth goal to force extra time. The clock was showing the 97th minute. The stadium tension was off the scale. While everyone was in complete overdrive, Bannan picked a simple but utterly crucial pass to Marvin Johnson who put the ball into the back post and we scored. Not spectacular, but totally calm and collected. Epitome of vision. Typical Bannan.
Ben: The pass to Marvin for the fourth miracle goal, the half-volley into the back of the net at MK Dons. Gutted I will never see him in the blue and white stripes or being the first out to warm up at Hillsborough but nothing but respect for him and what he's given us.
Archie: Wondergoal against MK Dons and Wednesday v Peterborough second leg.
Guy: His speech in the dressing room thanking Darren Moore after the tumultuous play-off comeback win against Peterborough verified his status as the leader within the Hillsborough dressing room.
Image source, ShutterstockClaire: There are so many on-field performances that I've loved from Barry Bannan, but it is the way he has conducted himself off-field that has made him an Owls (and footballing) legend. In an era of football where everyone says "loyalty doesn't exist", last summer there was Barry. Out of contract at a club in a total mess. Still turning up to training, still being there for the team. And then decided to stay, even when it wasn't clear if we'd have a coach or even a team. This isn't to undervalue his talent on the field. But it just made it feel like he was with the fans, sticking with the club, even though it was so hard to stay positive. Thank you for everything, Barry!
Paul: There really are so many but one I remember was December 2024 away at Derby County and BB struck a beauty from outside the box. What a goal on the day he moved into the all time top 10 appearances for the Owls. What a servant of the club. Goodbye, thank you and good luck to the little Scot.
Si: I was lucky enough to witness some great goals from Barry over the years. It's been a tough season and I haven't been as much as I have previously but the last game was Norwich at home. That game, Barry had no reason to shoot but wow, what a finish. An absolute class player. Really hope he comes back to us in the future. I'll happily buy him a drink when he does.
Tommo: Despite all that is happening or not, on the pitch (I know it's a difficult watch) we must keep going, buying tickets, pies and pints. Administrators need cash to run the club. Without cash they will sell more assets and axe jobs. The EFL are not moving fast enough. If this deal collapses and we run out of cash the administrators could wind us up. So get down to Hillsborough and keep putting as much as you can into the coffers. King Barry has done us a favour, helping bring some cash in. Hopefully, we'll see him back as a coach in the future.
Sheffield Wednesday have rejected a second seven-figure bid from Millwall for Swedish midfielder Svante Ingelsson, 27, while the Lions have also made a £300,000 offer for Owls striker Bailey Cadamarteri with Portsmouth also said to be keen on the 20-year-old. (The Star), external

Image source, ShutterstockAs I was sat watching a tearful Barry Bannan waving goodbye to the Sheffield Wednesday fans, it all felt a little bit surreal.
The Scot had just completed his 477th appearance for the Owls. Why, after such a long and popular spell at the club, was this unfolding like this?
We know he told team-mates prior to the game this was going to be his final match. Multiple reports said he was bound for Millwall, with the Telegraph even reporting a medical had been scheduled with the London club for Sunday.
Yet on Saturday morning there had been no official approach from Millwall. I checked with sources just before kick-off. No change. Still no approach.
Even with that information, which was confirmed by the Sheffield Star, none of us were viewing this through the lens that a move would not happen. Clearly it would. That was confirmed with the emotional full-time scenes.
But it's a curious set of events, isn't it? A club legend announcing his departure to team-mates, with that being broadly reported, there being an emotional farewell to a small number of away fans and all the while the club he was said to be joining had not made an official approach.
Meanwhile, the club seemingly had to tiptoe around the situation pre-Bristol City. There were no posts on X marking the occasion, no tributes, no ability to focus on the event that had been widely reported. What could they do? Nothing, because there had been no approach.
After the game, manager Henrik Pedersen said Bannan wanted to leave Wednesday, citing "the whole situation" as the reason. He also said the club captain and his representative were speaking to the club to find a resolution.
This has been a hellish season for the players. The squad is threadbare and no doubt they are physically and mentally drained.
It should also be noted that when Bannan committed to return to Wednesday in the summer, he did so within a financial framework that limited his earning ability. He's been playing for months for a wage far lower than he would have got elsewhere.
But just like that, a brilliant Owls career is seemingly over.
A rare partnership between supporters and a beloved player ended in the rain 180 miles from Sheffield, with about 1,800 fans there to see it and the whole thing playing out like a badly-kept secret.
Why did Bannan want to leave the club now? Is it simply the toll this miserable season is taking on him and his team-mates, or is there more to it?
Why has a move apparently been arranged without actual contact between any clubs, with no permission given for talks to take place? Was there a better way to do this?
Given Bannan's history with Wednesday, I think it's fair to ask these questions. It's the latest gut-punch for Wednesday fans in a season that is testing them in a way that can only be described as deeply unfair.
Portsmouth are confident they can secure Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Svante Ingelsson's signature this winter despite already having a bid for the 27-year-old Swede rejected. (The News), external
