List of Southeastern Conference champions

The SEC was established in December 1932, when the 13 members of the Southern Conference located west and south of the Appalachian Mountains left to form their own conference. Ten of the 13 founding members have remained in the conference since its inception. Three schools left the conference before 1966 and six have joined since 1991, bringing the current membership to 16.

Men's sports Women's sports ==Baseball==

All 16 SEC schools play baseball. Although this article lists both regular-season and tournament champions, the SEC awards its official baseball championship based solely on regular-season record, whether or not the tournament existed at a given time. The tournament, however, does determine the SEC's automatic berth in the NCAA tournament. The method to determine the SEC Champion has varied greatly: • 1933-1947: Determined by conference winning percentage. • 1948-1950: Division leaders met in best of 5 championship series. • 1951: Determined by conference winning percentage. • 1952: Division leaders were to meet in best of 3 championship series; Eastern division leader ceded championship series to western division leader. • 1953-1976: Division leaders met in best of 3 championship series. • 1977-1985: First SEC Tournament. Determined by top 2 teams from each division playing in double elimination tournament. • 1986: Determined by top 4 teams overall playing in double elimination tournament. • 1987: Determined by top 6 teams overall playing in double elimination tournament. • 1988-1991: Determined by conference winning percentage. Tournament played to award NCAA auto-bid. • 1992: Determined by conference winning percentage. • 1993-1995: Determined by conference and tournament winning percentage. NCAA auto-bid is awarded to winner of divisional tournament that *has highest overall conference winning percentage. • 1996-1997: Determined by conference winning percentage. Tournament played with top 3 teams in each division plus 2 at-large teams based on conference winning percentage to award NCAA auto-bid. • 1998: Determined as before but with division leaders earning top 2 seeds in tournament. • 1999-2012: Determined as before but tournament consisted of top 2 teams in each division plus 4 at-large teams based on conference winning percentage. Champions Official SEC champions in bold. ==Men's basketball==

All 16 SEC members play men's basketball. Although this article lists both regular-season and tournament champions, the SEC previously awarded its official men's basketball championship based solely on the regular-season record from the 1950–51 season through the 1977–78 season. Since the 1978–79 season, the tournament has determined the SEC's automatic berth in the NCAA tournament. Champions Official SEC champions in bold. Division champions (1992–2011) When the SEC expanded to 12 schools with the addition of South Carolina and Arkansas for the 1992 season, the conference divided its basketball teams into separate divisions, East and West, just like for football. In June 2011, the SEC voted to eliminate divisions in basketball. ==Women's basketball==

All 16 SEC members play women's basketball. Although the SEC began sponsoring women's basketball competition in the 1979–80 season, it was not fully integrated into the conference until the 1982–83 season, which was the first in which each team played the same number of conference games. Also, although this article lists both regular-season and tournament champions, the SEC has officially awarded its conference title based solely on the regular-season standings since the 1985–86 season. From 1980 to 1985, the official SEC champion was the tournament winner, but the tournament now only determines the recipient of the SEC's automatic berth in the NCAA tournament. Champions ==Cross country==

All current SEC members participate in men's and women's cross country except South Carolina, which only fields a women's team. Champions ==Equestrian==

Four SEC schools compete in Women's Equestrian: Auburn, Georgia, South Carolina and Texas A&M. The first conference championship was contested in 2013. Champions ==Football==

Occasionally, a tie between two or more teams occurred, requiring a tiebreaker. All teams involved in the tiebreaker were considered co-divisional champions, and the winner of the tiebreaker was the division's representative to the championship game. The 2023 season was the last for the divisional format. All divisional champions and co-champions are listed below. • denotes tie-break winner and subsequent division representative to the SEC championship game. in 1993 Auburn finished first in the West standings but was ineligible due to NCAA probation and postseason ban. in 2002 Alabama finished first in the West standings but was ineligible due to NCAA probation and postseason ban.

All current SEC schools play men's tennis except for Missouri. Arkansas will drop men's and women's tennis after the 2025–26 season. From 1953-1989, the SEC Champion was determined by the accumulation of points in an individual flighted tournament (there was not a separate team tournament champion). In 1990, a team dual match format was instituted for the conference tournament which provided the SEC tournament champion. From 1990-98, the SEC Champion was determined by a total aggregate points accumulated at the conclusion of the conference tournament: one full point was awarded for each regular-season conference win, one-half point for wins in the first two rounds of the conference tournament, one-half point for receiving a first-round bye in the conference tournament and one full point for a win in the conference tournament semifinals and finals. For the 1999 season, the same points system was in place with a couple of changes: one full point for first-round bye in the conference tournament and one full point for a win in any round of the conference tournament. In 2000, the SEC changed the determination of its tennis regular season champion to the team with the best winning percentage in conference regular-season dual matches.

All current SEC schools play women's tennis. Arkansas will drop men's and women's tennis after the 2025–26 season. In 2000, the SEC changed the determination of its tennis champions to the team with the best winning percentage in conference regular-season dual matches (11 matches). Before this, a points system was used in which full- or half-points were awarded for wins during the season as well as during the conference tournament. Champions Other division winners 2002 - Auburn (West) 2003 - Alabama (West) 2004 - LSU (West) 2005 - Mississippi State, Ole Miss (West) 2006 - Alabama (West) 2007 - LSU, Auburn (West) 2008 - Arkansas (West) 2009 - Arkansas (West) 2010 - Ole Miss (West) 2011 - Alabama (West) 2012 - Alabama (West) 2013 - Florida, Georgia (East), Texas A&M (West) • Divisional winners discontinued in 2014 ==Volleyball==

As of the most recent 2025 NCAA women's volleyball season, all SEC members play women's volleyball. Vanderbilt reinstated women's volleyball in 2025 after an absence of more than 45 years; it played in the first SEC tournament in 1979, but dropped the sport after that season. The SEC does not currently sponsor men's volleyball, and no conference member has a varsity men's team. The SEC Volleyball Tournament was suspended for three seasons after the 2005 season. It was not renewed, but, with the NCAA on the verge of officially adding beach volleyball (then called "sand volleyball") to its Emerging Sports program, the conference's coaches instead sponsored a Commissioner's Cup tournament for that variation of the sport. The tournaments, which were held in mid-April between 2008–10, were won by Georgia, South Carolina, and LSU respectively. On March 14, 2023, the SEC announced that the women's volleyball tournament would be reinstated in the near future. At the time, the conference had not decided whether the tournament would resume in 2024 (when Oklahoma and Texas joined) or 2025 (when Vanderbilt reinstated women's volleyball). In September 2024, the SEC announced that the tournament would resume in 2025.
