- ^ a b c d e f g h i The Big South Conference and Ohio Valley Conference will merge their respective football leagues in 2023. It has not yet been determined whether the merged football league will operate under the banner of either conference, or operate as a separate entity.
- ^ Although the academic core of the Harvard campus, including the university administration, is located in Cambridge, the school's athletic complex, including the football stadium, is within the city limits of Boston.
- ^ This is Idaho's second stint in the grouping now known as FCS; it had been a member of what was then known as Division I-AA from the group's creation in 1978 through 1995, after which it moved to the league then known as the Pacific Coast Athletic Association (now the Big West Conference). At that time, the PCAA sponsored FBS (then Division I-A) football.
- ^ a b Jacksonville State and Sam Houston will move to the FBS's Conference USA in 2023.
- ^ Effective in 2019–20, Long Island University merged its two athletic programs—the Division I non-football LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds and Division II football-sponsoring LIU Post Pioneers—into a single D-I athletic program under the Sharks name. The LIU Post football team became the new LIU football team, playing at its current home on the Post campus and joining the Northeast Conference. LIU was immediately eligible for the playoffs, as it was treated as a new football program of an existing D-I institution, but lost all its Division I games in the 2019 season and failed to qualify.
- ^ First season of the LIU Post program that became the LIU program in 2019. The Brooklyn campus first played football in 1928, but dropped the sport in 1940, before the Post campus existed; LIU traces the history of its current football program through Post.
- ^ While Murray State will join the non-football Missouri Valley Conference in 2022, it will remain in OVC football in the 2022 season. It has yet to announce a subsequent football affiliation.
- ^ North Carolina A&T will join CAA Football, legally a separate entity from the all-sports CAA, in 2023 (a year after it joins the all-sports CAA).
- ^ Portland State's campus is in the city of Portland, but it plays its home football games in the suburb of Hillsboro.
- ^ After leaving the football-sponsoring Northeast Conference for the non-football Horizon League in July 2020, Robert Morris had planned to play the 2020–21 season as an FCS independent before joining Big South Conference football in July 2021. With three of the Big South's eight planned football members not playing in the rescheduled spring 2021 conference season, the conference brought RMU into its football league earlier than planned.
Transitioning from Division II[]
The following programs are transitioning from NCAA Division II to FCS, or have announced definitive plans to do so. Under current NCAA rules, they must have an invitation from a Division I conference to begin the transition. During the four-year transition period, they are ineligible for the FCS playoffs.

- ^ Dixie State will change its name to Utah Tech University on July 1, 2022.
- ^ a b Dixie State and Tarleton began transitions from Division II to Division I in July 2020, with both joining the previously non-football Western Athletic Conference. Because of their ongoing transitions, they are not eligible for the WAC's football postseason when the conference reinstated that sport in 2021, though they are included in WAC football scheduling.
- ^ Merrimack began a transition from Division II to Division I in 2019, joining the Northeast Conference as a full member, including football.
- ^ Texas A&M–Commerce, with a Southland Conference invitation in hand, is scheduled to start a transition from Division II to Division I in 2022.
- ^ The Big South Conference and Ohio Valley Conference will merge their respective football leagues in 2023. It has not been determined whether the merged football league will operate under the banner of either conference, or operate as a separate entity.
- ^ Lindenwood has an Ohio Valley Conference invitation. They are scheduled to start a transition from Division II to Division I in 2022.
Transitioning from Division III[]
Normally, under current NCAA rules, teams are not allowed to reclassify directly from NCAA Division III to Division I. However, after St. Thomas was involuntarily removed from the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, they and their future primary conference home, the Summit League, worked with the NCAA to move directly to Division I. On July 15, 2020, it was announced that the NCAA had approved this transition, and St. Thomas has played in Division I starting with the 2021 season.[2]

UTRGV Vaqueros | University of Texas Rio Grande Valley | Edinburg[a] | Texas | No football program | Western Athletic Conference[b] | 2024[c] | 2024 |
- ^ UTRGV has multiple campuses within its service area, but its athletic program is based at the Edinburg campus, which it inherited from one of its predecessor institutions, the University of Texas–Pan American. The UTPA athletic program was transferred intact to UTRGV.
- ^ While UTRGV has not officially announced its future football affiliation, it is already a full WAC member, making it all but certain to join WAC football.
- ^ The former UTPA played football while it was a junior college, but never had a football program as a four-year institution.
