NOVEMBER OUT OF CONFERENCE SCHEDULE

Rutgers Wrestling will kick things off with a quad match at home featuring the likes of Bloomsburg University, Gardner Webb, and Centenary University (DIII).

The other out of conference match set for November, will take place against the Navy Midshipmen. This will also be Rutgers first road trip of the season.

DECEMBER OUT OF CONFERENCE SCHEDULE

This is where things will get a little crazy for Rutgers Wrestling, as they have four out of conference matches in December. The Scarlet Knights will head down to North Carolina to take on NC State and Davidson.

After that, they will head back home and welcome both Oklahoma and Drexel to Jersey Mike’s Arena, in what should be two fun duals. 

FEBRUARY OUT OF CONFERENCE SCHEDULE

Rutgers will end their out of conference matches in February, with two road duals against a couple of local opponents in Rider University and Hofstra University.

TO BE DETERMINED

There is still one lone to be determined out of conference dual on the schedule and that is the long time rivalry series against the in-state Princeton Tigers

The rivalry dates back to the Scarlet Knights first season back in 1931 and the winner of the match will not only walk away with bragging rights, but also the B1G-Ivy Rivalry Trophy.

The only known thing about this year’s match is that it will take place at Jersey Mike’s Arena, with the date still up in the air. 

2025-26 BIG TEN SCHEDULE

Along with all of that, Rutgers Wrestling will also have Big Ten Conference duals on the schedule. 

The Scarlet Knights will welcome Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, and Purdue to Jersey Mike’s Arena this year. On the flip side, they have some tough away duals against the likes of Illinois, Michigan State, Northwestern, and Penn State

There are no set dates for any of the Big Ten Conference duals just yet.
