The trade period ends on different dates depending on the sport. For example:

• The AFL (Australian Football League) trade period for 2025 ends at 7:30 PM AEDT on Wednesday, October 15, 2025. After this deadline, players under contract stay with their current teams, while delisted free agents can still find new teams until the draft.

• In MLB (Major League Baseball), the trade deadline for 2025 is on July 31 at 6 p.m. ET, which is the last point during the season when players on 40-man rosters can be traded.

• The NFL trade deadline in 2023 was October 31 at 4 p.m. ET, and typically it is set mid-season, though the exact date for 2025 should be confirmed from the latest NFL announcements.

If you specify which sport or league you are interested in, a more precise answer can be given.
