Chelsea will be able to sign players in the January transfer window.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport has suspended a ban imposed on the club until they reach a final decision on the matter.
Chelsea appealled after being banned from signing new players until 2011 by FIFA.
They were found guilty of illegally inducing French teenager Gael Kakuta to join the club two years ago.
A statement said: "CAS has granted the request for a stay filed by Chelsea Football Club Ltd and Mr Gael Kakuta in relation to the decision taken by the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber on 27 August 2009. Such sanctions are now stayed until the CAS renders its final decision in this matter."
No indication has yet been given as to when a court will conclude the matter.
