The Pac-12 has finalized its championship bracket for the 2026 Pac-12 Wrestling Championship on Friday, March 6 at the Mott Athletics Center in San Luis Obispo, Calif.

All 10 weight classes feature a four-man lineup, with one student-athlete from each Pac-12 wrestling institution:  Cal State Bakersfield, Cal Poly, Little Rock, and Oregon State. Nine of the the 10 weight classes include at least one wrestler ranked in FloWrestling’s National Rankings (Feb. 23) with four grapplers ranked in the Top 10 nationally at their weight:  Oregon State’s Maximo Renteria (#8 at 125), Little Rock’s Matty Bianchi (#5 at 165), Oregon State’s Justin Rademacher (#9 at 197) and Little Rock’s Stephen Little (#4 at 197).

Five wrestlers who won their weight class in 2025 return to the championships in 2026.  Four of those five will attempt to repeat at last year’s weight:  Renteria (125), Oregon State’s Nash Singleton (141), Oregon State’s TJ McDonnell (184) and Cal Poly’s Trevor Tinker (285).  Little Rock’s Matty Bianchi, who won at 157 last year, is the #1 seed at 165 this year, the weight class won by his brother Joseph the last two years.  Additionally, two other previous champions will look to regain their titles in Oregon State’s Matthew Olguin (2023 champ at 165) and Little Rock’s Stephen Little (2024 champ at 197).
