The Merrimack Warriors will begin the transition from Division II to Division I and will join the Northeast Conference in 2019–20.^[36]

Discontinued programs

Hartwick College, the only Division III school competing in Division I men's soccer for some years moved to Division III with the school's other sports.^[37]

Despite the program's many successes, the University of New Mexico's Board of Regents, for economic reasons, voted to discontinue the men's soccer program, along with three other sports teams, after the 2018 season.^[38]

Conference realignment

School	Previous Conference	New Conference
Mount St. Mary's	Northeast Conference, but inactive since 2012	Northeast Conference[3]
California Baptist	Pacific West Conference (NCAA Division II)	Western Athletic Conference[4]
USC Upstate	Atlantic Sun Conference	Big South Conference[39]
Belmont	Horizon League	Southern Conference[40]
Hartwick	Sun Belt Conference affiliate member	Empire 8 (NCAA Division III)
Liberty	Big South Conference	Atlantic Sun Conference[41]

NOTE 1: The Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners will move from the Western Athletic Conference to the Big West Conference on July 1, 2020.^[35]

NOTE 2: The team formerly known as the Fort Wayne Mastodons officially changed its athletic identity to the Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons on June 18, 2018, shortly before the creation of Purdue University Fort Wayne (PFW).^[42] Previously, the PFW athletic program represented Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW), but the Indiana University and Purdue University systems agreed to dissolve IPFW on July 1, 2018, with each system establishing a separate Fort Wayne campus. The IPFW athletic program transferred to PFW, representing only that institution, and remains a member of Division I and the Summit League.^[43]

NOTE 3: After six years of divisional play, with home-and-home series within the divisions, the Big West Conference teams will be playing a single, eight-team, seven game schedule. This move comes two years before Cal State Bakersfield moves in to make the Big West a nine team league.^[44]

NOTE 4: Central Arkansas announced on September 6 that its men's soccer program would leave its associate membership in the Missouri Valley Conference after the 2018 season and join the Sun Belt Conference as an Associate Member.^[45]
