Related Topics: NCAA Division I, Transfer Portal

On Wednesday morning, the NCAA approved changes to the transfer portal windows in all sports.

The DI Council approved changes to transfer windows in all sports to 45 days, including:

Men’s & women’s basketball: 45 days
Football: 45 days (30 days after season, 15 days in spring)

Council actions are not final until meeting concludes today.— NCAA PR (@NCAA_PR) October 4, 2023

Many sports, such as softball, already have a 45-day transfer window. Football, however, goes from 60 days down to 45 total days. As you can see in the Tweet above, the transfer portal windows for football will now be 30 days after the conclusion of the season - following conference championship games - and 15 days in the spring.
