2025-26 Top 40 National High School Wrestling Rankings

And just like that, if you blinked, you missed the 2025-2026 high school wrestling season, as once she got rolling the only thing stopping her was the calendar.

Pennsylvania closed their season a week ago with nothing changing amongst the teams in our rankings. Ohio’s loaded Perrysburg District saw the top three in the team standings, Perrysburg, St. Edward, and Brecksville, finish in that order, which reflects our ratings. Ohio is now at their state tournament, which runs Friday thru Sunday.

New Jersey just completed their regional round of competition with all the top teams winning their slates. The single class state tournament starts on Thursday and concludes on Saturday.

To our knowledge, that will be it. If we missed another state still going at it, we apologize.

Ohio’s affair can be watched on Flo Wrestling (archive – tape delay only). New Jersey can be watched at NJ.com. They have single day or full tournament PPV options.

We’ll be back next week with our final team rankings for the season.
