Overview
- Shareholders gave unanimous backing to a Brighton-proposed rollover that lets up to 10% of unused headroom carry into a third year.
- The Squad Cost Ratio will cap spending on transfers, wages and agent fees at 85% of club revenue from the 2026/27 season.
- Breaches will incur financial levies redistributed to other clubs, with a mandatory six-point deduction if spending reaches the 115% extreme.
- The amendment is expected to be ratified via a postal vote before the summer transfer window to give clubs planning clarity.
- UEFA has raised concerns about the Premier League’s looser 85% limit versus its 70% standard, which the league rejects; separately, the £30 away-ticket cap has been extended through 2027/28.
