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.
Oxford United will try to get back to earning points when they visit Sheffield United on Tuesday (19:45 GMT) as they fight against relegation.
The U's three league match undefeated streak came to an end on the weekend after being bested by Birmingham City.
It keeps them five points away from safety, nine below their hosts.
Sheffield United have won nine of their last 12 league meetings with Oxford United (L3), after winning six of their first 17 matches against the U's in the Football League between 1968 and 1990 (D5 L6).
Oxford United have lost five of their last six away league games against Sheffield United, with the exception a 2-1 win at Bramall Lane in March 1999 under Malcolm Shotton.
Sheffield United are unbeaten in each of their last seven home league games (W5 D2), winning their last three while also scoring exactly three goals. The Blades last won more consecutively at Bramall Lane, while scoring more than twice in each victory, back in August 1971 (5).
Oxford United beat Leicester City 2-1 in their most recent Championship away game, and the U's could now win back-to-back league matches on the road for the first time since April 2024 in League One.
Sheffield United's Chris Wilder has won seven of his 10 league games as a manager against former club Oxford United (D1 L2), only boasting a better win rate in the Football League against Dagenham and Redbridge (80% - 8/10) than the U's (70%), among those he has faced 10+ times.

Oxford manager Matt Bloomfield insists his side will not dwell on their 2-0 home loss to Birmingham after his unbeaten start ended in his fourth game.
Oxford have slipped five points below the survival line in the Championship and Bloomfield says they must quickly move on.
He told BBC Radio Oxford: "I always try and speak as honestly as I can after games and last week we were worthy winners, but today it wasn't to be.
"Our levels weren't quite at the level required to win the game, playing against incredibly good opposition, who've spent so much money on their squad. Our intensity needed to be at the top and we just didn't quite get there today.
"For their second goal, we were actually in possession, we're breaking out, we gave the ball away and the next thing you know, it's in the back of our net. Two-nil put a bit of a pin in us because I felt we were starting to build a bit of momentum.
"It's a deeply frustrating end, but we don't get too low. It's the first defeat, there's going to be a rollercoaster between now and the end of the season and we have to make sure that every day we come in ready to work and we keep moving forward."

Oxford United's failure to record back-to-back wins in the Championship this season is down to the competitive nature of the league, according to head coach Matt Bloomfield.
The U's will try to make it successive league victories when they host Birmingham City on Saturday (15:00 GMT) having won at Leicester City last weekend.
"It's a very tough league - we're coming up against a team who are very well backed and came into the season with a lot of momentum," Bloomfield told BBC Radio Oxford.
"It's a really competitive league where you have no right to win football matches - we've spoken a lot about the performance at Leicester but we've come into the building wanting another result, our eyes are firmly fixed on the future, what's been and gone is done."
Oxford have signed five players during the transfer window as they look to escape the relegation zone and Bloomfield is not ruling out more movement before it closes on Monday.
"We've had inquiries for our players and those talks are ongoing behind the scenes, making sure we execute everything we can," he added.
"There will be ins and outs but nothing is confirmed and if there isn't then I'm really happy with the squad we've got. It's not like we're desperate for more."

A win for Oxford United could see them move out of the Championship's relegation zone on Saturday but they will also need one other result to go their way.
Birmingham City are hoping to record back-to-back away league wins for the first time this season.
This will be the first time this century that Birmingham have faced Oxford United away from home in the league, with Blues winning 7-1 on their last trip there (December 1998, also in the second tier).
After a 1-0 victory in this season's reverse fixture, Birmingham will be looking to do the league double over Oxford for the first time since 1985-86.
Following their victory away at Leicester City last time out, Oxford United will be aiming for consecutive wins in the Championship for the first time since January 2025 (1-0 v Blackburn and 3-2 v Luton).
Only bottom side Sheffield Wednesday (1,307:42) have trailed for more minutes than Birmingham (1,045:30) in the Championship this season.
Brian De Keersmaecker has more than twice as many assists as any other Oxford player in the Championship this season (5); indeed, he has the most chances created (37) and big chances created (9) for the U's in the competition this term.
The Dub - Matt Bloomfield joins the pod!
Oxford United boss Matt Bloomfield has hailed striker Mark Harris' contribution after the striker scored the winner in their 2-1 victory over Leicester City.
Harris had spoken after the match about his uncertainty regarding his future at the club, having seen his game time reduced but with an eye on Wales' World Cup ambitions.
However, while Bloomfield acknowledges there will be further exits from the Kassam as we approach the end of the winter transfer window, he has a positive view on what Harris can offer the team.
"A lot of the work that Sparky [Harris] does goes unnoticed," Bloomfield told BBC Radio Oxford. "I value him extremely highly.
"We have got a bloated group, we are not going to be able to carry this number through the transfer window so I expect there will be departures.
"But I think he's an extremely valuable member of the group, I think he's top individual."
As well as departures, Oxford have been looking to bolster their squad as they continue to scrap against relegation.
The U's have brought in three new permanent signings across January in midfielders Jamie McDonnell and Myles Peart-Harris, plus winger Jin Woo Jeon.
Bloomfield added: "We just need to make sure we come out the other end of the window stronger than what we went to it and I believe we are on our way to doing that."

Oxford United head coach Matt Bloomfield says his players were top-drawer in their 2-1 away win over Leicester City.
Bloomfield told BBC Radio Oxford: "The boys were, to a man - the starters and finishers - excellent," Bloomfield said. "I am so proud of them. They carried out the info we gave them to a tee.
"We showed heart, guts and determination and no lack of quality because, let's not forget, we had a goal disallowed that shouldn't have been disallowed. I told the referee it was a mistake but at least we can discuss it on the back of a win.
"We also had a couple of chances in the second half and there could have been another couple of goals on our tally.
"The players have to take all the praise. They were absolutely top-drawer. But this is just the stepping stone. We have done nothing yet."
Image source, EFLA new initiative highlighting the work of football club charities has been launched by the English Football League (EFL).
'Scan to Smile' will be rolled out in stadiums across the EFL from Friday until the end of January, with supporters invited to scan QR codes on posters displayed around grounds.
Each scan will unlock a short, uplifting story from a person whose life has been positively impacted by the support of their local club charity.
The subjects tackled include mental health support, combating loneliness, improving physical wellbeing, employability and confidence.
The EFL said it hoped the initiative would use "the reach and influence of football to offer fans a moment of positivity on matchday".
Trevor Birch, chief executive at the EFL, said: "Behind every club are people whose lives have been positively changed through the work and dedication of their local EFL club charity.
"This initiative gives supporters the chance to see that impact first-hand and reminds us that football truly is a force for good."
Matt Bloomfield will aim to collect his first win as Oxford United boss when the side visit an out-of-form Leicester City on Saturday (15:00 GMT).
Bloomfield was appointed U's head coach on 9 January but has yet to see his side score after his first two games at the helm both ended in goalless stalemates.
The Foxes, however, are also having a hard time as of late after losing two of their past four league games (W1 D1).
This will be the first time that Leicester City have hosted Oxford United in league action since November 1993, a match the U's won 3-2 in the second tier.
Oxford United are unbeaten across their last three league games against Leicester City (W1 D2), only once have they gone four undefeated against the Foxes in the Football League – a four-match stint between September 1970 and October 1985.
Leicester have won four of their last six home league games (L2), scoring 2+ goals in five of those matches. The Foxes will be looking to win three in succession at home in the same season for the first time since April 2024.
Only bottom side Sheffield Wednesday (14) have failed to score in more different Championship games than Oxford this season (11), with the U's last two games finishing 0-0.
Leicester kept a clean sheet in three of their first six league games this season, but have since conceded in each of their last 22.

All English Football League games across a four-day period in February will begin one minute late to raise awareness for the Every Minute Matters campaign.
The initiative will be in place for 36 matches across the Championship, League One and League Two between 5 and 9 February.
EFL sponsor Sky Bet and the British Heart Foundation (BHF) have been working together since May 2024 to highlight the importance of speed when it comes to performing live-saving CPR.
Later kick-off times will serve as "a stark reminder that every minute matters", the EFL said.
Bristol Rovers defender Tom Lockyer collapsed while playing for Luton Town eight minutes into the Championship play-off final against Coventry in May 2023.
Lockyer then suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch seven months later during a Premier League game at Bournemouth.
"What happened to me can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time," said Lockyer, who is now a BHF ambassador.
"Every year, more than 40,000 people in the UK suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and most of them never make it home.
"I'm here today because of the transformative power of CPR as every minute matters when it comes to saving a life.
"This February, we want everyone to get behind this life-saving initiative, learn the skills and be ready to step in because your actions could give someone else the chance I was given."
Throughout February, the Every Minute Matters campaign will call on fans to learn CPR using the BHF's online RevivR, external tool.
"Each minute without CPR reduces a person's chance of survival, so we're urging fans to learn the skills now, before you ever need them," said Dr Charmaine Griffiths, chief executive of the BHF.
EFL chief executive officer Trevor Birch added: "The one minute kick-off adjustment is a simple, powerful reminder that swift CPR can be the difference between life and death."

Oxford United head coach Matt Bloomfield said the half-time introduction of Brodie Spencer helped control QPR danger man Paul Smyth in the two sides' 0-0 draw.
Spencer came on for Michal Helik, who had a knock, and was given instruction to stay tighter to Smyth, who had looked lively in an otherwise drab game.
"Paul Smyth was causing us a few problems in the first half," Bloomfield told BBC Radio Oxford.
"We adjusted a couple of things tactically, we allowed Brodie [Spencer] to go a little bit tighter on him and that nullified that threat in the second half."
He added: "I'm really pleased with another clean sheet, I'm really pleased with the way the lads have given us absolutely everything.
"We've put another point on the board, which we've got to be pleased about, but those moments are not quite going for us.
"If we start to take those moments, then things will start to kick on. We have to believe in that."
