The NCAA has announced the dates for the 2025-26 college football transfer portal, which will be open for 15 days from January 2 to January 16. This decision, made by the Division I Administrative Committee, is significant as it allows players a one-time opportunity to transfer without penalty, impacting team rosters and player careers. While the announcement is not final until the committee's meeting concludes, it sets the stage for a crucial period in college football.
