Cells reflect the 2026–27 NCAA / NAIA / JUCO recruiting calendars. A corner dot marks cells governed by the NCAA's "All Other Sports" rule (sports without a published dedicated calendar, e.g. Men's Soccer & Women's Wrestling at D1). The NCAA updates dates annually and mid-week signing windows shift a day or two each cycle — always confirm current dates with your governing body or ncaa.org before planning contact or visits.
