2026 MPA New England Qualifier Schedule & Brackets
Wrestling season isn’t over in Maine. Catch the 2026 MPA New England Qualifier live on FloWrestling on Feb. 20. Here are the details.
Dual championships. Check. Regional meets. Check. Individual state events for boys and girls. Check.
In most places and scenarios, those are the Infinity Stones of interscholastic wrestling. You prolong the moment and celebration. It’s something on which to hang your hat – or medal.
But not in Maine. Why stop at dominating just your home state, when you can rule an entire six-state region of the country?
At the same time, maybe you came up short at home. Maybe you don’t want your wrestling journey to end before you get a shot at redemption.
Either way, you’re in luck. Wrestling season isn’t over in the Northeast.
The New England Interscholastic Wrestling Championships is still ahead on the schedule, and your way in is through the 2026 Maine Principals’ Association New England Qualifier, which will be broadcast live on FloWrestling and the FloSports app on Feb. 20.
