Get ready to rumble in Rec Hall! The 2026 NWCA All-Star Classic, presented by Nike Wrestling, is returning to Penn State. The showdown between college wrestling’s most elite athletes is slated for Tuesday, November 24.
The event will once again include 15 mega matchups, with all ten weight classes being represented by two of the top-ranked D1 competitors, in addition to four women’s bouts and another face-off between a DII and DIII men’s wrestler.
Those matchups will be announced as we get closer to the event. But you can plan your schedule now with either a pre-Thanksgiving trip to State College, PA, or just a convenient, comfy spot to watch the event on your screen of choice live on FloWrestling.
This is the third time Penn State has hosted the annual extravaganza since the event returned from a hiatus in 2022. The All-Star Classic was also held in Rec Hall in 2024 and 2023. Last year, Rutger’s Jersey Mike’s Arena was the site of the All-Star Classic, while in 2022, the event returned for the first time since 2018 and was held in Austin, Texas.
The event will be streamed live on FloWrestling.
