The Top Individual Matchups to Watch this Weekend (2/20/2026)

As we head into the final week of the 2025-26 dual season, there’s plenty to be excited about, despite the fact that a large chunk of the season is about to wrap-up. There are marquee duals throughout the next three days and the weekend will be capped off by another meeting between college bluebloods Iowa and Oklahoma State. Iowa took the first edition this season at the National Duals Invitational and I’m sure that hasn’t sat well with David Taylor’s squad these last three months. 

Here are some of the most high-profile probable matchups to watch out for over the next three days - Iowa/Oklahoma State and much more. We’ve only tried to include matchups we’re relatively sure will take place.
