One school began a transition from NCAA Division II to Division I on July 1, 2023.

• Le Moyne joined the Northeast Conference (NEC).

A total of 15 softball-sponsoring schools changed conferences after the 2023 season.

• BYU, Houston, and UCF joined the Big 12 Conference.
• Campbell joined the Coastal Athletic Association.
• Charlotte, FAU, North Texas, UAB and UTSA joined the American Athletic Conference.
• Jacksonville State, Liberty, New Mexico State, and Sam Houston joined Conference USA (CUSA).
• Western Illinois joined the Ohio Valley Conference.

The 2024 season is the last for 15 Division I softball schools in their current conferences.

• Eight of the nine softball-sponsoring members of the Pac-12 Conference will leave for other conferences:
  • Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah will join the Big 12 Conference.
  • California and Stanford will join the Atlantic Coast Conference.
  • Oregon, UCLA, and Washington will join the Big Ten Conference.
• Kennesaw State will leave the Atlantic Sun Conference (ASUN) for CUSA.
• Merrimack and Sacred Heart will leave the Northeast Conference for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
• Oklahoma and Texas will leave the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference.
• Oregon State, the last softball-sponsoring school remaining in the Pac-12, will house most of its non-football sports, including softball, in the West Coast Conference for at least the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
• UTRGV will leave the Western Athletic Conference for the Southland Conference.

Two softball-sponsoring schools will start transitions from D-II after the 2024 season:

• Mercyhurst will leave the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference for the NEC.
• West Georgia will leave the Gulf South Conference for the ASUN.

In addition to these changes, the Indiana University and Purdue University systems will split IUPUI into separate IU- and Purdue-affiliated institutions at the end of the 2023–24 academic year, a move similar to the two systems' dissolution of their joint Fort Wayne campus in 2018. The IUPUI athletic program will be transferred to the new IU Indianapolis, maintaining IUPUI's memberships in Division I and the Horizon League.
