Undergraduate applications for 2026 entry?

I'm a bit confused. From what I've read online, if I want to start Uni in 2026 September - I should apply before January 29th 2026. Applications open from September 2nd, but I'm only seeing clearing stuff?

Do undergraduate applications open later or something? What am I missing?

No, you can submit your UCAS form from now until January.

You're seeing clearing stuff still because I presume you're not logged in, but if you do and go to your UCAS hub (top right corner, click your profile pic, then hub) you will be able to start applying - I already started filling out the forms!
