Your one-stop shop for FSU’s Transfer Portal activity
Welcome to the #Tribe26 ongoing transfer portal thread and primer! Consider this your one-stop-shop for all things transfer portal regarding FSU. Tomahawk Nation’s Three Stars (Tim Alumbaugh, Josh Pick, and NoleThruandThru) have you covered with all the information below.
When does the transfer portal open?
- The transfer portal will be open for a two week period only, from January 2-16, 2026. Exceptions exist for coaching changes (a 15-day window that starts five days after the new coach is hired) and CFP playoff participants who play on or after January 12 (five days after final game to enter the portal).
- The spring football transfer window has been eliminated, leaving football with one offseason period for all transfer activity.
