The list of Southeastern Conference national championships begins in 1933, the first year of competition for the Southeastern Conference (SEC), and includes 214 team national championships sanctioned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and four additional national championships sanctioned by the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), won by current conference members through the end of the 2024âÂÂ25 school year. In 2024âÂÂ25, SEC members claimed championships in baseball (LSU), men's basketball (Florida), women's gymnastics (Oklahoma), men's swimming & diving (Texas), softball (Texas), women's tennis (Georgia), and women's outdoor track & field (Georgia). So far in 2025âÂÂ26, the SEC has three national champions: Arkansas in men's indoor track & field, Georgia in women's indoor track & field, and Texas A&M in women's volleyball.
The SEC has averaged almost seven national championships per year since 1990.
Listed below are all championship teams of NCAA-sponsored events, as well as the titles won in football and equestrian, which are not official NCAA-sanctioned championships. Conference members have won at least one title in every sponsored sport in which the SEC participates. Kentucky completed this feat by winning the 2020 National Championship in women's volleyball on April 24, 2021. Between 1979 and 1982, teams representing current member universities also claimed four AIAW Championships.
Schools don't necessarily claim each of the championships listed.
Pre-SEC
The SEC has never sponsored men's soccer; only two current members, Kentucky and South Carolina, sponsor the sport. After more than a decade as Conference USA rivals, both teams moved to the Sun Belt Conference for 2022 and beyond. Their annual derby is nicknamed the "Southeastern Conference Championship Game".
The NCAA did not sanction a postseason tournament to determine a national champion until 1939. Some schools claim basketball national championships based on polls for seasons prior to 1939, but those are not listed here.
Note: LSU claims a basketball national championship on the basis of a win in the 1935 American Legion Bowl, though the event made no claim to determine a national champion. Kentucky also claims the 1933 title, based on the Helms poll. Neither of these claimed titles are officially recognized by the NCAA and thus are not listed here.
The SEC has never sponsored men's gymnastics. Oklahoma has won 12 team titles in that sport, all before joining the SEC.
Note before 1981, the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) was the sole governing body for women's intercollegiate athletics and sponsored national championships in women's sports. Starting in 1981, the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) began to sponsor women's athletic championships as well as those for men's sports. During the 1981âÂÂ82 school year, the AIAW and NCAA both sponsored championships in several women's sports. Starting in 1982âÂÂ83, the NCAA became the sole sponsor of women's intercollegiate sports championships and national championships in those sports.

Note that the SEC does not sponsor bowling. Vanderbilt won its first title as an independent and its second and third as a member of the single-sport Southland Bowling League. Since the 2023âÂÂ24 school year, Vanderbilt bowling has competed in Conference USA, which absorbed the SBL after the 2022âÂÂ23 season.
Note that the SEC does not sponsor rifle. Kentucky is a member of the single-sport Great America Rifle Conference.
The SEC sponsored men's wrestling from 1969 to 1981, but no member won an NCAA team title during the existence of SEC men's wrestling. Oklahoma has won seven national team championships in that sport, all before joining the SEC. Missouri and Oklahoma are currently wrestling-only members of the Big 12 Conference, in which they had been full members before joining the SEC in 2012 and 2024, respectively.
Women's wrestling became an official NCAA championship sport in 2025âÂÂ26. However, of the 111 schools that competed in that season, only six are Division I members, and none are from the SEC.
Three SEC members have won national titles before joining the conference:
Two SEC members have won national titles in softball before becoming SEC members:

The SEC did not sponsor women's rowing until 2024âÂÂ25, announcing the addition of the sport shortly after Oklahoma and Texas joined. The two new members were joined in the inaugural SEC rowing lineup by charter members Alabama and Tennessee. Texas has won three NCAA titles (2021, 2022, 2024).
Equestrian is the only current emerging sport sponsored by the SEC. No SEC member sponsors a varsity team in any of the other three current emerging sportsâÂÂflag football, rugby (union), or triathlon. Two other sports, acrobatics & tumbling and stunt, graduated from "emerging" status in January 2026, with the first championships to be held in 2026âÂÂ27; the only SEC member with a varsity team in either sport is Kentucky, which sponsors stunt.
Through June 30, 2024
The table above ranks the current SEC schools by the number of NCAA recognized national championships each school has won. This does not include Division I-A/FBS football championships, equestrian championships, or unofficial championships in other sports such as men's basketball. However, it does include AIAW titles, which the NCAA has retroactively recognized as equivalent to its own national championships. The totals below include any championships that may have been won before the school was a member of the SEC.
In addition, some recognized national championships are in sports that are not (or were not) sponsored by the SEC:
