=== Division II women's bowling (2027) === On January 16, 2026, the Division II membership approved the establishment of a bowling championship for that division. Currently, the NCAA bowling championship, sanctioned for women only, uses a "National Collegiate" format, with members of all three divisions competing for a single championship. The first D-II bowling championship will be held in spring 2028; under NCAA rules, once a division-specific championship is created for a sport that uses the National Collegiate format, two National Collegiate championships must be held before the division championship can start.<ref name=NewChamps2728>{{cite press release |url=https://www.ncaa.org/news/2026/1/16/media-center-ncaa-to-add-four-new-championships.aspx |title=NCAA to add four new championships |publisher=NCAA |date=January 16, 2026 |access-date=January 16, 2026}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/committees/d2/champs/Jun2025D2CC_Report.pdf |title=Report of the NCAA Division II Championships Committee: June 25–26, 2025 Meeting |publisher=NCAA Division II Championships Committee |date=June 26, 2025 |access-date=July 25, 2025}}</ref>

Unless otherwise noted, the following programs, all of which will compete at the National Collegiate level in 2026–27, will start competing for the new Division II championship in 2027–28, assuming that their parent institutions do not close, drop varsity bowling, or leave Division II. Conference affiliations reflect those for bowling.

=== Division III women's wrestling (2027) === Also on January 16, 2026, the Division III membership approved the establishment of a women's wrestling championship for that division. The NCAA women's wrestling championship, introduced in 2025–26, also uses the "National Collegiate" format. The first D-III women's wrestling championship will also be held in spring 2028.<ref name=NewChamps2728/>

The following programs, all either already competing at the National Collegiate level or planning to do so starting in 2026–27, will start competing for the new Division III championship in 2027–28, assuming that their parent institutions do not close, drop varsity women's wrestling, or leave Division III. Conference affiliations reflect those for women's wrestling.

Sponsorship information is taken from the official NCAA membership directory, which is searchable by division and sport.<ref name=NCAADirectory/> The list of NCAA women's wrestling programs also contains references to future programs.
