The regular season has come to a close, which means a dozen programs now get to compete in the 2026 NCAA men's gymnastics championships this weekend.

The University of Illinois will host this ultimate competition over two days at State Farm Center in Champaign. No. 1 Oklahoma leads the championship pool, with No. 2 Michigan, No. 3 Stanford and No. 4 Nebraska close behind. 

Last year, Michigan was able to prevent a four-peat for Stanford, winning a title for the first time since 2014. Oklahoma is also a superpower in men's gymnastics with 12 championships, and Nebraska, Ohio State, California, Penn State and Illinois all boast a handful of titles throughout the years in an event that dates to 1938.

Who will outshine the rest in Champaign?
