NCAA D1 Basketball Oversight Committee proposes moving transfer window to conclusion of Final Four

A big change could be coming to college hoops. On Wednesday, the Division I Men’s and Women’s Basketball Oversight Committees proposed that the notification-of-transfer windows open for 15 days starting after the conclusion of the 2026 Men’s and Women’s Final Fours.

According to a press release from the NCAA, the recommendations must be approved by the Division I Cabinet, which is scheduled to review the proposals in January. If the change is approved, the legislation would go into effect in April of 2026.

Under the proposals, the Division I women’s basketball notification-of-transfer window would open April 6-20. As for the men’s notification-of-transfer window, that would open April 7-21.

At the moment, the transfer windows open after the conclusion of the second round of the Division I Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships and stay open for 30 days. It seems change could be coming though.
