New Horizon Experience rollout status

Dates and updates for the move to New Horizon, including pages where the older phone layout is retired and pages that use New Horizon on every device.

New Horizon Experience. This article describes the New Horizon Experience, which is available now. As of September 28, 2026, New Horizon is the default starting point on a computer or laptop. In the Horizon WebRef mobile apps for Android and iOS, New Horizon is already what you see. Existing Official members who are eligible can still switch back to Legacy Horizon from the account menu on a computer during the transition. Coaches, athletic directors, League Personnel, Location Personnel, and other non-Official memberships use New Horizon only. If you switched back and still have the older layout, choose Switch to New Horizon from the banner or your account menu.

This article is a status summary of the New Horizon rollout. It is for every signed-in member. Use it when you need the dated timeline, when a phone browser shows New Horizon for a page even though you switched back to Legacy Horizon on a computer, or when a specific page opens in New Horizon on every device. For why Horizon is changing, see Why we are switching to the New Horizon Experience. For how to switch back on a computer, see How to switch back to Legacy Horizon.

Rollout timeline

Mobile apps use New Horizon only

The Horizon WebRef mobile apps for Android and iOS use the New Horizon Experience only. Those apps do not offer Legacy Horizon and cannot switch back. Early New Horizon pieces began appearing in the apps in 2024. By the time the browser transition began in September 2026, the apps were already on New Horizon for everyday use.

September 9, 2026: New Horizon available by choice in a web browser

On September 9, 2026, existing members could try New Horizon in a web browser on a phone, tablet, or computer. That was the start of the browser transition. New users and new organizations added or purchased after September 9, 2026 start on New Horizon and cannot switch back to Legacy Horizon. Members who return after a longer break can also stay on New Horizon without a switch back, for example after being added or approved again with no other active organization and about 30 days without a sign-in, or when their last sign-in was more than about nine months ago. For the full list of who cannot switch, see How to switch back to Legacy Horizon.

September 28, 2026: New Horizon becomes the default on computers

As of September 28, 2026, New Horizon is the default starting point on a computer or laptop in a web browser. Existing Official members who are eligible can still switch back to Legacy Horizon from the account menu during the transition. The Horizon WebRef mobile apps stay on New Horizon.

November 2, 2026: Non-Official memberships use New Horizon only

As of November 2, 2026, coaches, athletic directors, League Personnel, Location Personnel, and other non-Official memberships use New Horizon on every platform. They do not see Switch to Legacy Horizon. Officials (including assignors and observers) who are still eligible can continue to switch during the transition.

Ongoing: older layouts retired for specific pages

Horizon is gradually retiring older layouts one page at a time. There are two lists:

  • Phone and tablet browsers. When a page is on the phone list below, a phone or tablet web browser always opens the New Horizon version of that page, even if you switched back to Legacy Horizon on a computer. The older phone layout for that page is not coming back. A computer that still uses Legacy Horizon is not changed by this phone list alone.

  • Every device. When a page is on the every-device list below, New Horizon is the only version of that page on a computer, a phone browser, and a tablet browser. Switching back to Legacy Horizon does not bring back the older layout for those pages.

On a retired page in a phone browser, you may see a banner that says the mobile legacy version of the page is no longer available, with Try New Horizon if you want the full New Horizon Experience again. On a page that is New Horizon on every device, a similar banner can appear in Legacy Horizon with Try New Horizon.


Phone pages where the older mobile layout is retired

As of November 8, 2026, these pages always use New Horizon in a phone or tablet web browser. The older mobile layout for each of them is retired and is not coming back. If you still use Legacy Horizon on a computer, those computer pages are unchanged by this list alone:

  • Availability Calendar

  • Bulk Adjustments

  • Choose an Organization

  • Compose Email

  • Contact Groups

  • Documents

  • Evaluator Rankings

  • File a New Incident Report

Other pages may still show the older mobile layout if you are on Legacy Horizon in a phone browser. Horizon will add more pages to this list over time. This article will be updated when that list changes.


Pages that use New Horizon on every device

As of November 8, 2026, these pages always use New Horizon on a computer, phone browser, and tablet browser. Switching back to Legacy Horizon does not restore an older layout for them. The older versions of these pages are retired and are not coming back:

  • Buy Add-on Licenses

  • Integrate Your Website

  • Subscription Renewal

  • Update Login Credentials

These pages are separate from the phone list above. A page can move from phone-only retirement to every-device retirement later. Horizon will update this article when that happens.


Common questions

Why does my phone show New Horizon for a page when I switched back to Legacy Horizon?

If that page is on the phone list above, the older phone layout is gone for good. Your phone browser opens New Horizon for that page only. Other pages can still use the older mobile layout until they are retired too. If the page is on the every-device list, New Horizon is also what you get on a computer.

Why does a computer page open in New Horizon when I switched back to Legacy Horizon?

If that page is on the every-device list above, New Horizon is the only version of that page on every device. Legacy Horizon does not include an older layout for it anymore. Other pages can still use Legacy Horizon on a computer until they move to that list or Legacy Horizon retires.

Will the older phone layout come back for those pages?

No. When a page is listed above, the older mobile-browser layout for that page is fully retired. New Horizon is the only phone-browser version of that page. For pages on the every-device list, New Horizon is the only version on a computer too.

Do the mobile apps still have Legacy Horizon?

No. The Horizon WebRef apps for Android and iOS use New Horizon only. They cannot switch back.

Can I still use Legacy Horizon on a computer?

Existing Official members who are eligible can still switch back on a computer during the transition, when Switch to Legacy Horizon appears in the account menu. Coaches, athletic directors, League Personnel, Location Personnel, and other non-Official memberships cannot. New users and new organizations added after September 9, 2026 also cannot. Even while you use Legacy Horizon, pages on the every-device list still open in New Horizon. Legacy Horizon will retire for everyone later; Horizon has not published that retirement date in this article. See How to switch back to Legacy Horizon for the computer steps.

If you still see the older legacy desktop or laptop layout

On a computer or laptop in a web browser, the older legacy layout appears only if you switched back to Legacy Horizon. As of September 28, 2026, New Horizon is the default starting point. The banner at the top of the page offers Switch to New Horizon. Your account menu can show the same action.

At this time, the phone-page retirements in this article do not remove Legacy Horizon from a computer. They only replace the older mobile-browser layout for the listed phone pages. Pages on the every-device list are the exception: those open in New Horizon even when the rest of your computer session is still on Legacy Horizon.
