When Does the Spring Transfer Portal Open?
The spring transfer portal will officially open for underclassmen on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and close on Tuesday, April 30, 2024. This means players have just 15 days to enter. For graduate transfers, the window is extended to May 1, 2024.
Players who wish to enter the spring transfer portal must inform their school’s compliance office, which then has two days to register the request. Players who enter will then be filed onto the transfer portal database for other schools to see and contact.
Once their names are in the portal, they can complete their transfer at any time. A player only needs to enter the portal during those dates. However, for the benefit of the team and the player, a swift conclusion is often met to allow acclimation before the season starts.
It is the final time before the college football season begins that all players are eligible to enter the portal, and the timing is important.
