How lengthy is the switch portal open?
The switch portal is open for a two-week interval solely, from January 2-16, 2026. Exceptions exist for teaching adjustments (a 15-day window that begins 5 days after the brand new coach is employed) and CFP playoff members who play on or after January 12 (5 days after closing recreation to enter the portal).
The spring soccer switch window has been eradicated, leaving soccer with one offseason interval for all switch exercise.
