Join us on June 19 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., as we set Team USA for the 2026 World Championships. Event-only tickets for 2026 Final X, presented by Kerberos Capital Management, are available on Ticketmaster to the general public starting February 17. Tickets to the exclusive access to the Beat the Streets New York Annual Benefit after party are available at btsny.org.
Final X will determine the 2026 U.S. World Team in two international disciplines—men’s freestyle and women’s freestyle. In total, 20 weight classes will be contested, 10 in each discipline. The top two U.S. athletes in each weight class will wrestle a best-of-three series at Final X to determine the U.S. representative at the 2026 Senior World Championships in Manama, Bahrain.
Final X will be held in two sessions on Friday, June 19. Session I, which starts at 2 p.m. (ET), will feature round one in each best-of-three series. Session II, which starts at 5 p.m. (ET), will continue with round two and, if necessary, round three matches.
Final X will serve as the Beat the Streets New York Annual Benefit, the 16th BTSNY Annual Benefit to date. These unique electrifying events help BTSNY raise critical funds each year to support local youth wrestling programs, which empower young people in New York City. The BTSNY Annual Benefit after-party takes place at the conclusion of Final X.
Benefit tickets and sponsorship packages (Final X plus exclusive after party celebration access), that also provide the best wrestling-event seats, are available at btsny.org. Proceeds from Benefit tickets and sponsorship packages will directly help BTSNY serve NYC youth. For more information on ticket packages, email BTSNY Executive Director Bob Seidel at bseidel@btsny.org.
Event-only tickets for Final X without access to the BTSNY after-party celebration are available on Ticketmaster.
