Brock recently hosted the 2025 WCL | U SPORTS Invitational Wrestling Championships and is eager to once again welcome the nation’s top university wrestlers.

“We are thrilled to be returning to Brock University for the 2027 WCL | U SPORTS Invitational Wrestling Championships and grateful to Brock for stepping forward to host this important event,” said WCL CEO Tamara Medwidsky. “Brock has consistently demonstrated its commitment to wrestling, and its top-class facilities provide an outstanding environment for our athletes, coaches and fans. Having experienced firsthand what a great host Brock was for these championships in 2025, we know the event will be in excellent hands, and we’re excited to return to St. Catharines in 2027.”

“We are excited to return to Brock University for the second time in three years for the 2027 WCL | U SPORTS Invitational Wrestling Championships,” said Matthew Davies, U SPORTS Chief Sport Officer. “Returning to a premier facility like Brock’s Walker Sports Complex will provide student-athletes and fans with an exceptional championship wrestling experience.
