All-in ticket prices start at under $20 and can be purchased at GopherSports.com. Season tickets are also available for purchase.

The Golden Gophers, currently ranked 10th in the InterMat Dual Poll, are scheduled to host seven dual meets at Maturi Pavilion.

Minnesota opens its home slate with three straight duals, beginning with its first ever matchup against Gardner-Webb on Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. The match is Educator Appreciation Night with discounted tickets available for educators.

Two days after the home opener, Bucknell visits The Pav on Nov. 22 at 1 p.m. The matinee match is High School Club/Team Day. High schools can submit current team rosters by Nov. 18 for free admission. In addition, there will be a banner raising ceremony for Max McEnelly's national championship, and the first 1,000 fans will receive a limited edition championship poster.


The three-match homestand concludes Dec. 1 when SIUE comes to Minneapolis for the first time since 1973. Match time is set for 7 p.m. For Youth Day, kids can claim discounted tickets, while Goldy's Kids Club members get free admission with discounted tickets for guests.
 
The conference slate starts on Jan. 10 with a home dual against Maryland at 1 p.m. The bout with the Terrapins will be the Takedown Cancer match, supporting those who battle cancer.

Minnesota returns home on Jan. 24 when it meets Rutgers for the fourth season in a row. Match time is set for 3 p.m., and it will air on Big Ten Network. All former Gophers are welcomed back for Alumni Day and will be recognized at intermission.

The Golden Gophers host five-time defending national champion Penn State on Jan. 29 in what will be their first meeting since the Nittany Lions came to Minneapolis in February of 2020. The contest will also air on BTN with a 6 p.m. start time. As part of Salute to Service night, military service members and veterans are eligible for a discounted ticket.

A visit from Illinois on Feb. 12 closes out the home slate at Maturi Pavilion. The match, which starts at 7 p.m., will be Senior Night with a post-match celebration taking place to honor the seniors.

In addition to all of those promotions, there will be pre-match youth clinics prior to duals against Bucknell, Maryland and Rutgers. Children will receive a ticket to the dual and participate in a pre-match youth clinic taught by the Gophers. All participants must be 8th grade and under.
