The Ultimate National High School Wrestling Schedule: Every Major Tournament, Power Program and Must-See Match

The national wrestling schedule is stacked: duals, mega-tournaments, coast-to-coast travel, and matchups featuring nearly every top team in America. Here’s the complete breakdown of who’s going where — and why it matters.

Top wrestlers and teams will collide, from coast to coast, in the biggest high school wrestling events of the 2025-26 season. / Zavier Gussett / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images

What we are going to lay out below is not all encompassing but it highlights each week’s events that will feature teams in the High School on SI Top 40 Team Rankings.

One thing you will notice when looking at each event is how many of the same teams are at each of these events. There is a reason they stand above the pack. They are out there week after week, going after the big dogs, and leaving excuses for the lesser teams.

We start with this week then go up until the beginning of February when things take a more local turn as the postseason and state tournaments arrive across the country. Please bookmark this article so you can refer to it throughout the 2025-26 high school wrestling season.
