The Oregon State Beavers wrestling program was established in 1909, competing in collegiate wrestling across 95 seasons since then. Traditionally a national powerhouse, the Beavers won the Amateur Athletic Union national championship in 1926 (Oregon State's first national championship in any sport) and have won their conference championship 52 times. The team has produced 94 All-Americans, 12 individual national champions, and is associated with five National Wrestling Hall of Fame members. The team has finished their season ranked in the NCAA top 25 on 43 occasions, including finishing 20 seasons in the top 10 and two seasons as national runners-up.

Chris Pendleton (Oklahoma State) is the head coach. It will be his first season in 2020–21. He replaces Jim Zalesky. In his 12 years at Oregon State, Zalesky coached 12 All-Americans, won seven Pac-12 Championships, and compiled a 99-40-2 record while coaching the team to four top 25 finishes including two top 10 finishes.
