LAS VEGAS, NV • Inside of The Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas, the 2025 US Open will take place between April 23 and April 27. Here is a look at the schedule for this week of wrestling. The importance of the event is different for each level, but the significance of the event for each level is of great value.
For the Masters divisions, this is an opportunity to continually compete and wrestle against other like-minded and aged men. For the younger groups, this is where Pan-American and International and World selections are earned.
There are new criteria in the Greco-Roman discipline as the US Open is now the Senior World Team Trials. It will, however, still house the traditional rules of the best-of-three finals, and the ability for a returning medalist from the previous World Championships to sit out until the finals, if there is one at the weight.
In the Senior division for Freestyle, winning the Open provides one with the opportunity to sit out until the finals of the World Team Trials Challenge Tournament. For those who do place, their place allows them the opportunity to qualify for the WTT Challenge Tournament. As has been, a returning medalist at the weight will wait in Final X for his or her opponent.

All tournament brackets will eventually be published at USABracketing.com, and all competition times listed below are set for Central Daylight Time. Please note, Las Vegas is Pacific Daylight Time, which is a two-hour difference—10:00 a.m. in Las Vegas, PDT, is 12:00 p.m. in Chicago, CDT.
