The best college wrestlers in the world are set to take the mat this weekend at the 2025 NCAA Division I Men’s Wrestling National Championships. This year’s highly anticipated event will unfold from Thursday through Saturday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, where the nation’s top collegiate grapplers will compete for individual and team glory.
A total of 330 athletes will participate in this double-elimination tournament, with ten individual champions crowned across various weight classes. Beyond personal accolades, the team championship will also be fiercely contested. Last year, Penn State emerged victorious, but with powerhouses like Iowa, Oklahoma State, and Nebraska in the mix, the 2025 edition promises a thrilling battle for supremacy. The top eight wrestlers in each weight class will also earn prestigious All-America honors.
