The college football transfer portal opened Friday, Jan. 2, and player movement is in overdrive. While many high-profile names have found new homes, thousands of players remain available.
And there’s been plenty of drama, too. From a high-profile change of heart to threatening legal action, the portal is dominating the headlines.
The portal runs through Jan. 16, with an extra five-day window (Jan. 20-24) for teams playing in the national championship.
We’ll keep you posted with daily live updates of portal commitments.

College football 2026 transfer portal dates: When does transfer portal open, close?
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 teams to add via the portal in 2026.
