Why it matters for Oxford United

The new transfer setup is a key part of Oxford United's plans to strengthen their squad ahead of their return to League One. With chairman Dusan Bogdanovic involved in the process, the U's are looking to make the most of the summer transfer window.

What comes next?

The U's have already received some bids for players since the end of last season, with only one contracted player leaving the club so far this season. Head of football operations Ed Waldron has stated that scouting and identification for the summer window is complete, with the focus now on getting deals done.

The EFL confirmed fixtures for the 2026/27 season last week, with Oxford United facing newly-promoted MK Dons at home on the opening day. The U's first pre-season friendly will be on July 21 away at National League club Aldershot Town.

As Oxford United look to strengthen their squad, they currently sit 22nd in the Championship with 47 points from 46 games, 11 wins, 14 draws, and 21 losses. They are 48 points behind leaders Coventry and have scored 45 goals while conceding 59 (-14 goal difference). Their next fixture is against Huddersfield at home on February 9, 2027.

With the summer transfer window now open, Oxford United are looking to make the most of the opportunity to strengthen their squad. The new transfer setup, led by chairman Dusan Bogdanovic, is a key part of the U's plans to return to League One as a competitive force.
