College Soccer Data & Insights — 2025 Season Analysis | RosterWise™

These articles present findings from RosterWise’s analysis of more than 2,200 college soccer programs during the 2025 NCAA and NAIA season. Every number comes from real roster data — not surveys, estimates, or self-reported statistics.

What makes this different

Most college soccer “data” you’ll find online comes from aggregated self-reports or is years out of date. RosterWise analyzes current, published rosters directly — every player, every program, every division. The result is an accurate, current snapshot of the college soccer landscape.

How families can use this

These insights help with context-setting during the recruiting process:

  • Roster size data tells you how many spots exist at different levels — and how the House settlement is changing D1
  • International composition shows which conferences and divisions recruit heavily from abroad, affecting domestic opportunity
  • Division comparisons help families understand what’s actually different between D1, D2, D3, and NAIA beyond name recognition

Methodology

All data is drawn from the 2025-26 season rosters as published on official athletics websites. Our methodology section explains in detail how we collect, normalize, and analyze this data.
