Big Red Release 2024-25 Schedule, Set to Host Penn State

The Nebraska wrestling team has released its 2024-25 schedule, slated to host Big Ten foe and the reigning national champion Nittany Lions. The Huskers will face six of the top-25 finishers from last season’s NCAA Championships, Coach Mark Manning announced Tuesday.

The Big Red will open the season at home, hosting Utah Valley on Nov. 8. Then NU hits the road for two duals and two invitationals. The Huskers visit North Carolina to face Campbell and North Carolina on Nov. 15, before taking on the Navy Classic on Nov. 23 and the Cliff Keen Invitational on Dec. 6 and Dec. 7.

On Dec. 20, NU will host Augustana and in-state competitor UNK in one evening. The Big Red will finish non-conference duals with a road matchup at Northern Iowa on Jan. 5, who finished 14th at last year’s NCAA Championships.

Conference competition will consist of eight duals, four home and four away. The Big Ten matchups will open at home on Jan. 11, as the Huskers host Minnesota. Less than a week later, the Huskers welcome Penn State on Jan. 17, as they host the Nittany Lions for the first time since 2019. 

The following weekend, NU takes on Michigan on Jan. 24 and Michigan State on Jan. 26. The Wolverines are another top conference and national competitor, after finishing the 2023-24 season in 3rd at the NCAA Championships. Returning to the Bob Devaney Sports Center, the Huskers close out January with the Badgers on Jan. 31.

On Feb. 7, the Big Red take on preseason No. 2 Iowa in Iowa City. The Huskers will have their final home dual on Feb. 16, hosting the Hoosiers before concluding the regular season on the road, at Purdue on Feb. 23.

The Big Ten Championships will be March 8-9, hosted at the Welsh-Ryan Arena by Northwestern. The 2024-25 NCAA Championships will be held in Philadelphia, Pa., at the Wells Fargo Center, March 20-22.

Times for the non-conference duals and tournaments are posted on huskers.com, while conference dual times and postseason will be updated as TV schedules are announced.
