Quick Guide: How to Watch NCAA Wrestling Championships From Anywhere

The NCAA Wrestling Championships 2024 take place from March 21 to 23. The best college wrestlers in the country are headed to the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri to compete for the National Championship.

Fans can watch the NCAA Wrestling Championships online on ESPN+. But be warned, this won’t work if you’re outside the United States. If you’re traveling outside the country or simply live in another region, you’re going to need a VPN like Surfshark to watch the D1 college wrestling action.

Here’s how:

  1. Get Surfshark.
  2. Connect to a VPN server in the United States.
  3. Go to ESPN+ and find the NCAA Wrestling Championships live stream starting on Thursday, March 21.

Check out our complete guide below for a step-by-step guide, the tournament schedule, and the NCAA wrestling rankings.

The best college wrestlers in the country are headed to Kansas City, MO, for the NCAA Wrestling Championships 2024! From March 21 to 23, fans will watch D1 wrestlers compete for college wrestling’s biggest prize. Penn State took last year’s crown, making the Nittany Lions back-to-back winners looking for a third championship in a row.

If you’re not going to be at the T-Mobile Center in person, you can hop on to ESPN+ to live stream the NCAA Wrestling Championships. However, this will only work in the United States. Fans outside the country will either be blocked out or won’t have access to the NCAA Wrestling Championships in their region.

Luckily, you can spoof your IP address easily with a VPN like Surfshark and watch the NCAA Wrestling Championships online from anywhere.

Are you new to VPNs? We’ll explain everything to you and help you get set up in a few minutes.

Live Stream NCAA Wrestling Championships: Step-by-Step Guide

NCAA Wrestling fans exist all over the world. Unfortunately, only ESPN+ will stream the tournament, and only in the USA.

Fans outside the United States will need to change their IP address to stream ESPN+. We recommend using Surfshark because it has hundreds of servers in over 25 US cities. Just hop on to any one of them, and you can access ESPN+ and watch the NCAA Wrestling Championships from anywhere.

We’ve put together a step-by-step guide below to help you stream NCAA Wrestling Championships 2024 from anywhere:

  1. Sign up for Surfshark. Although it has an incredible price point, you can take advantage of its 30-day money-back guarantee. Just remember to cancel your subscription before 30 days.
  2. Download and install Surfshark on your device.
  3. Launch the app and log in to your account.
  4. Connect to a server in the United States.

Pro Tip:

To avoid potential issues like error or VPN flagging messages, we recommend using a privacy-friendly browser like Brave or Mozilla to stream the event. In most cases, using a private or incognito browsing window should also do the trick. Just remember to regularly clear out your cache and cookies.

Where to Watch NCAA Wrestling Championships 2024?

When it comes to watching the NCAA Wrestling Championships, it’s ESPN+ or bust. We hope that in the coming years this changes and fans across the world get more streaming options to watch D1 wrestling.

The good news is that ESPN+ costs just $10.99 per month. This will also give you access to tons of other ESPN content, such as college basketball, UFC Fight Nights, and UFC PPV events.

Looking for more options? You could also get the ESPN+ bundle with Hulu + Live TV which will offer over 75 channels.

Remember, both of these options only work in the US, even if you’ve already got an account. You’ll need Surfshark to unblock these streaming sites outside the country. Click on the button below to grab Surfshark at a massive discount.
