Sec Championship Game




The first two SEC Championship football games were held at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama , Since 1994, the game has been played at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia .

The SEC Men's and Women's Basketball Championship games are held after a seeded, single elimination tournament involving all league schools has been completed. The top two teams in both the Eastern and Western Divisions receive byes in the first round, while #3 in the East plays #6 from the West, #4 plays #5, etc. The brackets are set up so that #2 will play the winner of the game involving #3 from the other division, and #1 will play the winner of the game involving #4 from the other division. Ideally, the semi-finals will pit #1 from one division against #2 from the other, and the Championship Game will feature the regular season winners of the two divisions, although this rarely happens in practice.

Throughout its history, the SEC Championship basketball game held at various sites, including the Georgia Dome , the Superdome , the Gaylord Entertainment Center , the Birmingham Jefferson Civic Center , the Pyramid , and Rupp Arena .
