New programs

The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), created for the 2015–16 school year with the merger of the University of Texas–Pan American (UTPA) and University of Texas at Brownsville (UTB), added the sport to the Division I athletic program it inherited from UTPA. Although UTB had a highly successful NAIA men's soccer team, the UTRGV program was created essentially from scratch, with an entirely new coaching staff and only two UTB players remaining in the UTRGV program. UTRGV also inherited UTPA's membership in the Western Athletic Conference.

Discontinued programs

None.

Conference realignment

School	Previous Conference	New Conference
Northern Kentucky	Atlantic Sun Conference	Horizon League

NJIT, previously the only Division I basketball independent, played the 2014 season as a single-sport member of the Sun Belt Conference. Although NJIT replaced Northern Kentucky in the Atlantic Sun Conference (A-Sun) in July 2015, the men's soccer team remained in the Sun Belt for the 2015 season due to contractual commitments to that league. NJIT men's soccer will join the A-Sun in 2016.^[21]

Additionally, the 2015 season was the last for Coastal Carolina in the Big South Conference. The Chanticleers will join the Sun Belt Conference on July 1, 2016, in all sports except football, with that team joining the conference a year later. The arrival of Coastal Carolina will maintain the Sun Belt at six men's soccer members, preserving the league's automatic NCAA tournament berth.^[22]
