Streaming of matches will be available on FloWrestling. Brackets are available on TrackWrestling.

Doors at Jenison Field House will open at 8:00 a.m. with first whistle scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Parking is available at Lot 62 or the Kellogg Center garage. Jenison Field House parking will be blocked off for Michigan State's hockey game later that same evening.

Head Coach Roger Chandler Said…
"We're excited to host the annual Michigan State Open this weekend, which has always been one of the tougher early season open tournaments in the country. It's always great to compete against other programs from the Big Ten and the state of Michigan, in addition to the programs that travel from across the country to compete. While we opened the season with a dual last week, we have a lot of guys who are looking to start their season on the right foot at home on Saturday."
