The Southeastern Conference (SEC) sponsors nine men's sports and twelve women's sports. This is a list of conference champions for each sport. Also see the list of SEC national champions.
Members
The SEC was established on 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 four have joined since 1991, bringing the current membership to 14. The membership will expand further to 16 in 2024.

Baseball
All 14 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.

Men's basketball
All current and future SEC members play men's basketball.
Although this article lists both regular-season and tournament champions, the SEC has awarded its official men's basketball championship based solely on regular-season record since the 1950–51 season, whether or not the tournament existed at a given time. The tournament, however, does determine the SEC's automatic berth in the NCAA tournament.

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 current and future 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.
