There are a few regular-season events on the calendar that bring together elite teams that typically wouldn’t see each other in head-to-head action until national championships are on the line, and one of those premier events is this weekend – the 2025 Journeymen Collegiate Wrestling Duals.

The competition will take place Dec. 20-21 at the Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville, Tennessee, and include nine teams for nine duals. 

Six of the teams are ranked in the top 10 of the latest FloWrestling 2025-2026 NCAA Division I Wrestling Rankings. Seven are in the top 15. All nine landed in the top 45 this week.

For wrestling fans in the United States, the entire event will broadcast live on FloWrestling and the FloSports app, beginning at 2 p.m. Eastern/1 p.m. CST on Dec. 20. See the complete schedule below.

The field at the Journeymen Collegiate Duals will feature the new No. 1 team in the FloWrestling rankings – Ohio State – which moved into the top spot last week, dethroning four-time defending national champion Penn State. 

The Nittany Lions had been in the top position since November 2021, and they’ve since dropped another spot, falling to No. 3 behind Ohio State and Iowa in the Dec. 15 edition of the rankings.

Though there won’t be a showdown at the 2025 Journeymen Collegiate Duals between the two most recent top dogs, seeing them both in the same venue will be a treat for wrestling fans watching in person and online. 

Ohio State is 8-0 heading into the weekend and was the bigger winner at the inaugural National Duals Invitational, where the Buckeyes defeated Iowa to take the title and unprecedented $200,000 top prize.

Penn State has seen limited action this season but is 4-0 in dual meets, along with a dominant performance at the Black Knight Invitational in November. 

The Nittany Lions also are one win away from tying the NCAA Division I record of 76 consecutive victories in dual action, set by Oklahoma State between 1937 and 1951.

But those aren’t the only two teams headed to the 2025 Collegiate Duals, so let’s see who else will be in Nashville.
