🚨 Major NCAA Soccer rule changes for 2026-27 season! ⚽ Key updates across men’s & women’s soccer: • Video Challenges: Each team gets 2 challenges per game. Officials can initiate reviews in the final 10 min of regulation/OT only if a team is out of challenges. (Goal: get big calls right without slowing the game.) • Goalkeeper Release: Increased to 8 seconds (with visual countdown for last 5). Corner kick if violated. Aligns with international rules. • Substitutions: Allowed any time clock is stopped in DII/DIII men’s and all women’s divisions (already in DI men’s). Other notable changes: • Violent behavior red cards reviewed by NCAA secretary-rules editor committee (not just on-field ref). • Up to 4 commercial logos allowed on field (outside penalty areas). • DI: Mandatory 4th official video match official (on-site or centralized). • Yellow cards to staff charged to head coach. • Running clock in last 15 min (5 goal margin) in women’s DII/DIII men’s regular season. • Red card penalties are per incident (no extra for multiples). • Data devices allowed on wrist/arm if padded/covered. • Weather delays: Max 3-hour wait before/after start. @SRUSA_Official
