Here is the summary I found.
The major new NCAA transfer portal rule, effective for the 2026 season, consolidates the transfer period into a single 15-day window from January 2 to January 16. Additionally, rules for transfers after a coaching change have been updated to a 15-day window that opens five days after a new coach is announced. There is a special five-day window for players on teams still competing in the College Football Playoff.
