NCAA Releases Proposed Women's Regional Assignments

Although it’s not official, the NCAA released its recommended regional assignments for the 2025-26 women’s wrestling season. There are six regions, and three wrestlers from each region qualify for the 2026 NCAA Championships in Coralville, Iowa, on March 5-7.

This is the inaugural NCAA Championships for women’s wrestling.

There are 10 weights with 18 national qualifiers per weight. Divisions I, II, and III compete at the same tournament.
