(Brackets – PDF) The preliminary brackets for the 69th Annual NAIA Men's Wrestling National Championships have been released by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The 69th edition of the annual event will feature six sessions across three days. The Battle For The Red Banner begins on Thursday, March 5, and concludes on Saturday, March 7th, hosted by Visit Wichita at Heartland Credit Union Arena in Park City, Kansas.

All sessions will be streamed live via FloWrestling, the NAIA Network, and Urban Edge Network.

Access to the live results and brackets can be found through TrackWrestling.

Brackets were verified and approved by the NAIA-Wrestling Coaches Association Bracketing Committee. Previously, a 16-member committee consisting of conference raters and oversight members met to select the remaining at-large qualifiers. Next, the 16-member committee, along with three new oversight members, determined the ranking order of each weight class. This was used as the basis for the Bracketing Committee and later verified.
