New programs

• On November 27, 2017, it was announced that, in 2020, the Tritons of the University of California, San Diego, located in the San Diego, California district of La Jolla, would begin the transition from Division II to Division I as a member of the Big West Conference. ^[40] UC San Diego and the Big West canceled fall sports in 2020 and they did not play a make-up season in the spring of 2021. Therefore, the fall of 2021 was the first season for the Tritons in Division I women's soccer. ^{[41] [42]}
• On July 15, 2020, after months of consideration, the NCAA granted the highly unusual request of the University of St. Thomas to move directly from Division III to Division I. The school had already accepted an invitation to join the Summit League, and the Tommies entered Division I and Summit League competition in 2021. ^[43]
