California’s best wrestlers will meet for SJS Masters. Here’s who made the cut
The CIF Sac-Joaquin Section released its 2026 wrestling brackets this week for the Masters championships Friday and Saturday at Adventist Health Arena in Stockton. Each division features some of the top wrestlers in the state and the nation as their postseason journey continues with the hopes of reaching the CIF State Championships Feb. 26-28 at Dignity Health Arena in Bakersfield.

Boys participate in divisional playoffs and girls take part in north and south regional duals. Division and regional champions, along with top placers, meet this weekend, Feb. 21-22, in Stockton for the chance to advance to state.
Each day starts with wrestler weigh-in at 7 a.m. Doors open at 8 a.m. Friday, boys and girls championship rounds start at 9 a.m., and the day ends with boys and girls quarterfinals and consolation rounds from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, the consolation rounds continue at 9 a.m. The consolation round and championship round semifinals continue throughout the day. Boys and girls third-, fifth- and seventh-place matches are from 1:30 to 3 p.m., and boys and girls championships are from 3 to 5:30 p.m.
