Now that the Big Ten has released home and away opponents for the 2025-2026 season, we're starting to see some more info come out.

Just for clarity, unless I am missing something, they have the matchups for each school but not the actual dates, right?

Yeah. Dates won’t be out for quite some time.

This is actually pretty early for them to announce the actual pairings. About a month early, if not more.

Why not? Because they can. It’s ridiculous about these schedules and dates. Nebraska/Ohio State will be a late January, early February BJC match with other soon after. Book it!

Nebraska released it's non-conference schedule today:


Wish Nebraska were traveling to Chapel Hill instead of hosting North Carolina -- greater chance of

We all know both basketballs get priority for the BJC, so their schedules need to be firmed up first.

Besides, it's early July, the season doesn't start for 4 more months.

In a surprise (to me), PSU is coming to Philadelphia this season, on Dec. 5, to face Drexel.


I like it. Different place and at least for me an easy one to get to. Of course, the football team could be prepping to go to Indy that Friday, but long ways away from having to cross that bridge.

National duals November 15-16 on Nebraska’s schedule, wonder who else will enter? Doubtful for our guys being so early in the season and Cael’s resistance to this event having a meaningful prize.

Is there any chance that Penn State agreed to travel to Drexel this year, in exchange for additional NCAA tournament tickets last season?

Interesting thought. PSU regularly does home & home sets with smaller regional schools (Bucknell, Buffalo, Pitt (😛)), so it’s also possible that was the plan all along.

Bloomsburg’s 2025-2026 schedule is out. Penn State is not on it, which isn’t a surprise. But if you’re interested, the link is below:

Ditto with Little Rock, which recently posted its non-con schedule:

I have no way of knowing what the regular or secondary markets will be like for tickets to Penn State-Drexel but if you wanted to look into the season ticket packages the Dragons have to secure access, they're available now:

I have had season tix for Drexel for several years since my wife is an alum, but the inclusion of the PSU match increased the price about 50%. Not a complaint, just an observation. Excited to see the dual from my front row seats :cool:

Got it! That doesn't surprise me at all. But yes, I hope you enjoy!

Here's the Penn State Schedule:

U20 - 8/17 to 8/25 in Bulgaria

Seniors - 9/31 to 9/21 in Croatia

U23 - 10/20 to 10/27 in Serbia

NWCA All Star Classic (early November rumored at Rutgers)

Black Knight Invitational (AKA Wrestleoffs) - likely last week of November

Drexel in Philadelphia

Lehigh at home

Would love for us to go to Wyoming since they came to PSU last year

Something small that'll get 2-3 matches like Journeymen or Collegiate Duals (if it's still happening)

B1G Duals

Small local school that travels to Rec Hall 2 weeks before Big Tens

B1G at home

NCAA at Cleveland

Ha, looks pretty good!

Cornell has JMen Collegiate Duals on their schedule for Dec. 21 so I'm assuming that's a go again but nothing else is out there yet.

Been watching for Wyoming since Cael mentioned last year about it being a home and home but nothing out there yet.
