It’s time for the 2025 National Wrestling Coaches Association All-Star Classic Presented by Nike Wrestling, and while it’s still a preseason event, it won’t be short on talent or excitement. 

In fact, it’s the perfect final warm-up before the new collegiate wrestling campaign officially gets underway. 

This year’s NWCA All-Star Classic will be held Nov. 1 at the Jersey Mike’s Arena on the campus of Rutgers University, and it will kick off an action-packed weekend that includes the start of the Rutgers regular season on Nov. 2.

The All-Star Classic can only be watched on FloWrestling and the FloSports app. Coverage will begin Saturday at 7 p.m. Eastern.
