    The Big West and Pac-12 Conferences entered into a single-sport partnership that will see four full Big West members—Cal Poly, California Baptist (joining the BWC in 2026),[33] UC Riverside, and UC San Diego—become Pac-12 men's soccer members in 2026.[34]

New programs

On May 6, the Northeast Conference announced that New Haven of the Division II Northeast-10 Conference had accepted an invitation to join the conference and begin the transition to Division I.[28] The Chargers started play in the NEC this year, and will become full Division I members in the 2028–29 season.

Other news

  • February 27 – The Horizon League announced that Northern Illinois, which had been a Horizon member from 1991–1994, would rejoin as a full member in 2026. Men's soccer will move from the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC).[37]

  • April 25 – The University of Kentucky (UK) board of trustees approved a proposal to transfer the UK athletic program to a separate though related non-profit company known as Champions Blue, LLC. Both UK and outside media characterized the move, believed to be the first of its type by a major university, as a reaction to the then-impending settlement of the House v. NCAA legal case, which ultimately led to a formal revenue-sharing arrangement between athletic programs and student-athletes.[42][43][44]

  • June 26 – The Atlantic Sun Conference (ASUN) and WAC announced announced a strategic alliance under which the WAC will rebrand as the United Athletic Conference (UAC) in 2026. At that time, the WAC will rebrand as the UAC, with its future full membership consisting of all ASUN and WAC members that offer football scholarships plus non-football UT Arlington. The full ASUN membership going forward will consist of schools that either do not sponsor football or do not offer football scholarships.[45]
  • July 21 – The American Athletic Conference announced a name change to the American Conference as part of a comprehensive rebranding strategy. The conference no longer uses an initialism, opting for "American" as its short form.[46]
  • September 3 – The West Coast Conference (WCC) announced that UC San Diego would join from the Big West Conference in 2027.[47]
  • October 2 – The Northeast Conference adopted its longstanding abbreviation of NEC as its official name.[48]\
  • October 29 – The Mountain West Conference (MW) announced it would sponsor men's soccer in the 2026 season.[32] The inaugural lineup is:
