Outside the transfer window, a club may still sign players on an emergency basis, usually if they have no goalkeeper available. ... Free agents can be signed by a club at any time during the season, if they had been released by their previous club before the end of the transfer window.

It states that the Championship is falling in-line with the PL with regards to rules on transfers and L1 & L2 still abide by the rules as stated so for Championship it’s the same rules as PL.... which means a Free Agent can sign for a club as long as they were not under contract at transfer deadline but cannot be registered in the 1st team until the next transfer window opens

This year Championship clubs only have until 17:00 BST on Thursday, 8 August to complete their transfer business - in a move that aligns them with the Premier League window.

League One and League Two sides, however, have until Monday, 2 September to register permanent or loan deals.

Exactly, section 43 of the EFL rules is worth a read!
