### 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. 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.
* 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.

### Conference realignment

| School | Previous Conference | New Conference |
| Abilene Christian | Southland Conference | Western Athletic Conference (WAC) |
| Central Arkansas | Southland Conference | ASUN Conference |
| Eastern Kentucky | Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) | ASUN Conference |
| Howard | Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) | Northeast Conference |
| Jacksonville State | Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) | ASUN Conference |
| Lamar | Southland Conference | Western Athletic Conference (WAC) |
| St. Thomas | Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (Division III) | Summit League |
| Sam Houston | Southland Conference | Western Athletic Conference (WAC) |
| Stephen F. Austin | Southland Conference | Western Athletic Conference (WAC) |
| UC San Diego | California Collegiate Athletic Association (Division II) | Big West Conference |
In addition to these schools moving divisions, the ASUN Conference and the Western Athletic Conference divided into divisional play for the first time.
