2025-26 B1G Conference Opponents Released

Yesterday, Big Ten wrestling schools started posting their upcoming conference opponents for the 2025-26 season. Since the conference is so big, they are not able to wrestle every single conference foe, so there is some mystery as to who they wrestle and where. Of course, the Big Ten typically takes their sweet time to develop an actual conference schedule because of TV purposes and scheduling conflicts with basketball. I wouldn’t hold my breath on getting further information for a few more months. 

As of now, Illinois, Nebraska, and Ohio State have not released their conference opponents. Based on what has been released by other schools, we’ve put their partial list together. Those schools will be modified once their opponents have been released.
