Nebraska to Host Several Big Ten Conference Championships in 2025-26

As has been the case every year since 2016, the baseball conference tournament will be played in Omaha from May 19-24. In 2024, the league extended the contract with Charles Schwab Field through 2027.

Last year, Nebraska captured its second straight Big Ten Conference Tournament title. The Huskers survived Michigan State and upset Oregon in the group stage, before beating Penn State in the semifinals and topping UCLA in the championship.

Nebraska is also set to host the women's gymnastics (March 20-21), men's gymnastics (April 3-4), and outdoor track and field (May 15-17) championships. Gymnastics will be held at the Bob Devaney Sports Center, while the track and field events will take place at the new facility near Devaney.

Husker women's gymnastics has won four Big Ten titles since joining the league, most recently in 2017. Last year, Nebraska finished eighth in the regular season and ninth at the championships in Ann Arbor. Sophia McClelland and Emma Spence, both of whom have since graduated, made the All-Championships team.

Nebraska men's gymnastics has not won a conference title since 1999 as part of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. The Huskers finished third at the Big Ten Championships before taking fourth at the NCAA Championships. Of the six All-Americans from last year's group, only two graduated.

Husker track and field has won four outdoor titles since joining the league, including going back-to-back in 2023 and 2024. Both the men and women finished in the top five at the conference championship in Eugene last year.

Several sports have portions of their tournament at sites determined by the regular season. Nebraska does not compete in any of those, including men's soccer, ice hockey, and men's lacrosse.

No state is slated to host as many championships in 2025-26 as Nebraska. There are three states set to host two championships each: Michigan with cross country at Michigan State and women's lacrosse at Michigan; Indiana with indoor track and field and rowing both in Indianapolis; and California with men's tennis and women's golf near Los Angeles.

These do not include the conference championships for football or basketball. The football championship will be back at Lucas Oil Stadium for the 15th year since its inception in 2011. The women's basketball tournament will be at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis while the men's basketball tournament will be in Chicago at the United Center.
