Penn State wrestling has been on top of the food chain in college wrestling for over a decade, and in 2026, the reigning national champions will get a boost from a hometown crowd in the Big Ten tournament.

The Big Ten announced the hosts of its Olympic sports on Wednesday and revealed that Penn State will host the 2026 Big Ten Wrestling Championships at the Bryce Jordan Center beginning on Saturday, March 7. The exact times and ticket information will be revealed at a later date.

Penn State last hosted the Big Ten Wrestling Championships in 2021, where it came in second to Iowa.

The Nittany Lions had previously hosted in 1998 and 2009. They have won three consecutive conference titles and four consecutive national titles.

The reigning champions have not had their full regular-season schedule released, but have confirmed their eight Big Ten opponents, including home matches against Ohio State and Nebraska. Their home opener at Rec Hall has not yet been revealed.
