Comprised of Indiana University, Michigan State University “A”, Michigan State University “B”, Purdue University, The Ohio State University, the University of Illinois, the University of Iowa and the University of Michigan, the Big Ten Division will contest its 16th season in the CWPA.

The 2020 season was not contested due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Competition begins on Saturday-Sunday, September 28-29, with an eight-game weekend at Skyline High School in Ann Arbor, Mich., hosted by Michigan with Michigan “A”, Michigan “B”, Ohio State and Michigan State.
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Purdue will contest an eight-game event on a date and at a site to be determined prior to a crossover event on Saturday-Sunday, October 10-11, at Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich., with all eight teams. Due to time constraints in consideration of the 16-games scheduled, all contests will use five-minute quarters with neither overtime nor timeouts.
The 12-game Big Ten Division Championship will be decided on Saturday-Sunday, October 24-25, at Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio. The victor of the division championship earns an automatic berth to the 2026 Men’s National Collegiate Club Championship on the weekend of Friday-Sunday, November 6-8, at a site to be determined.
