Can UNI wrestling replicate its top-10 finish at last year’s NCAA Championships during the 2025-26 season?
We’ll soon find out, with the Panthers releasing their schedule on Oct. 14. UNI will begin its season at the Journeyman Wrestling Collegiate Classic in Bethlehem, Penn, followed by the program’s first major test at the National Duals Invitational. There, the Panthers will square off with North Carolina State in the opening round of a 16-team tournament that features some of the best programs in the country.
Following the National Duals Invitational, the Panthers’ schedule replicates much of what fans have come to expect each season, with a pair of on-conference duals at home against North Carolina (Dec. 21) and at Nebraska (Jan. 3), a handful of open tournaments, plus the slate of Big 12 conference duals.
Here’s a full look at the Panthers’ slate in 2025-26:
