NCAA Football Signing Day, Phase II Names

The 2026 NCAA Regular Signing Day for Division I and II football is Wednesday, February 4, 2026. While many top recruits sign during the early period back in December 2025, this February date marks the opening of the final signing period for the 2026 class to formally sign financial aid agreements.

Each school sets its final date of this regular signing period for athletes based on institutional policy for awarding scholarships to those coming to school in the Fall of that year.

For incoming 2026 undergraduate students at Tulane, the priority deadline to file financial aid applications (which covers scholarships) is February 15, 2026,
