Today is the last day for college football players to enter the transfer portal, except for Indiana and Miami players who get an extra five-day window (Jan. 20-24) because they are playing in the national championship game on Jan. 19.
While no new players can enter the portal after the deadline, they can commit anytime, though most will want to be in place by the spring semester to participate in spring practice.
We’ll keep you posted with daily live updates of portal commitments.

College football 2026 transfer portal dates: When does transfer portal close? How long do players have to commit after deadline?
The portal period now runs from Jan. 2-16, with an extra five-day window (Jan. 20-24) for teams playing in the national championship. The spring portal window in April is no longer a part of the schedule, so January is the only open window for players to enter the portal in 2026.
While no new players can enter the portal after the deadline, they can commit anytime, though most will want to be in place by the spring semester to participate in spring practice.
