For the first time in 2026, NCAA will officially host the post -season championship and a women’s wrestling championship.
The emerging sport was added in the NCA 91 in January, and earlier this week, the college’s athletics authority ended its coordination for the opening championship.

The square is home to the Iowa Volleyball Team, in addition to the hockey privilege in the small league and the internal football team. It will work for Iowa University and the Sports Committee in the Iowa City region as a participant host of the opening championship.
IOWA is one of the six wrestling programs for women. The tournament will bring together all the squash programs from the first, second and third divisions.

Therefore, fans can mark their calendars on March 5 to March 7 of 2026. Regional play will be held in the tournament two weeks ago.
The championships will include 180 participants in 10 seasons of weight – that is, 18 per category – with a maximum qualification for each weight, for each school. In general, each team can send a maximum of 10 wrestlers for each area. There will be six areas ever and three qualifiers from each region.
Before approving this coordination, the Women Wrestling Committee at NCAA recommended that there is 210 qualifiers and seven businessmen, but NCAA retreated from this, saying that 180 qualifiers and six regions “are more in line with the principle of the Sports Supervision Committee) to reach the tournament.”
In the future, it seems likely that there is a change in the number of qualifiers, or that there will be a division between the sections instead of one common cycle of the three. For beginners, sport can grow at the levels of the first and second, and the second, these teams offer scholarships and do not place them in the third section, which displays them in an uncomfortable position. Currently, the third section of the section is the majority of competing programs in women’s wrestling with 70, where there are only 42 in the first and division section.
