How the transfer portal works

The NCAA transfer portal opened in October 2018. It's a database, not a door: a player tells his school's compliance office he wants to leave, the school enters his name within a couple of days, and from that moment any other program may contact him. Entering the portal doesn't guarantee a new home — some players end up staying put, and some never find a landing spot.

When does the transfer portal open? For FBS football, players can only enter during set windows that follow the regular season. The NCAA has changed those dates several times in recent years — it most recently moved to a single window in early January — so check the NCAA's official calendar for the current year. Players whose head coach leaves get extra time to enter.

Can transfers play right away? Since 2021, a first-time transfer can usually play immediately, and later rule changes made immediate eligibility the norm for most transfers who meet academic requirements. Combined with name, image and likeness (NIL) money, that has turned the portal into a second recruiting season — rosters can change dramatically in a single winter.

Tap the Transfer Portal tab above for every commitment and departure as it's reported.
