Rutgers has announced its 2026-27 wrestling schedule, a slate that includes the Journeymen WrangleMania event, the National Duals Invitational, a full Big Ten Conference schedule and several key non-conference duals throughout the season.

The Scarlet Knights open the season at Journeymen WrangleMania in Bethlehem, Pa., where they will face Long Island University and Navy. Rutgers will also host Lehigh, compete at the Keystone Classic and National Duals Invitational, and wrestle a demanding Big Ten schedule.

Rutgers returns three NCAA qualifiers from its 2025-26 NCAA Championships lineup, while adding impactful transfers in Anthony Knox, Brett Ungar and Daniel Herrera. Andrew Barbosa, Shane Cartagena-Walsh and Remy Cotton provide veteran leadership for a lineup looking to remain among the top teams in the Big Ten.
