Season and individual tickets for the 2025-26 University of Iowa men’s wrestling season are now available through the Iowa Athletics Ticket Office. Season tickets are set at $175, while single dual tickets range from $24 to $99 for adults and $14 to $25 for youth.

Fans can purchase tickets by contacting the Iowa Athletics Ticket Office at 800-IA-HAWKS or online at hawkeyesports.com/tickets.

The upcoming home schedule includes matches against four teams ranked in the NWCA Preseason Coaches’ Poll: No. 1 Penn State, No. 9 Minnesota, No. 11 Michigan, and No. 21 Pittsburgh.

Last season, the Iowa men’s wrestling program led national attendance figures for the eighteenth consecutive year. The team averaged 13,640 fans per home event during the 2024-25 season, with a total of 95,481 fans attending events at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Two home duals reached full capacity with crowds of 14,847.

Since Tom Brands became head coach before the 2006-07 season, Iowa has recorded a home record of 138 wins and 14 losses (.907) at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. All-time since moving from UI Field House in 1983, their record stands at 287 wins and 27 losses (.914).

Attendance records have been consistently high throughout Brands’ tenure as head coach; no official totals were tracked during the spectator-restricted COVID-19 pandemic season in 2020-21. For sixteen straight years, average attendance has exceeded eight thousand fans per event.

In the previous season (2024-25), Iowa finished with an overall record of fourteen wins and one loss and a Big Ten Conference mark of seven wins and one loss. The Hawkeyes placed third at the Big Ten Championships and fourth at the NCAA Championships, earning five All-American honors and producing one national champion.
