ESPN platforms will feature nearly 150 collegiate wrestling events from some of the top conferences in the country throughout the 2024-25 NCAA season, including more than 110 events exclusively on ESPN+, the leading sports streaming service.

For the second straight season, a regular season college wrestling meet will air on ESPN as No. 3 Oklahoma State faces Big 12 rival Iowa State (No. 13) on Sunday, January 26 (5 p.m., ESPN). Oklahoma State-Iowa State marks the second ever regular season college wrestling meet to air on ESPN after the ‘CyHawk Dual’ made history last season.

The crew of Shawn Kenney and former Virginia Cavalier Rock Harrison will be joined by veteran reporter Quint Kessenich to call the action.

ACC Friday Night Duals also return this season to ACC Network with five straight weeks of conference matchups, beginning January 24 when No. 7 Virginia Tech travels to Durham, N.C. to take on Duke. The Friday night series will also feature the conference’s other ranked teams – No. 6 NC State, No. 15 Stanford, No. 19 Pitt and No. 24 North Carolina, among other top ACC programs. An additional 20 ACC wrestling events will also stream this season on ACCNX.

The extensive ESPN+ schedule will feature top programs from the Big 12, Ivy League, MAC, EIWA, and more. The Big 12 currently has seven programs – No. 3 Oklahoma State, No. 10 Northern Iowa, No. 13 Iowa State, No. 14 South Dakota State, No. 16 Missouri, No. 18 West Virginia and No. 21 Oklahoma – currently ranked in the NWCA Coaches Top 25.
