SEC Football Championship Game

The 2025 SEC Football Championship Game will be held in Atlanta, Georgia in December.

It’s very hard to get tickets to the SEC Championship Game, but the SEC offers fans the opportunity to get on the waiting list to buy tickets to the SEC Football Championship Game in case there are extras.

Sign up for this year’s SEC Football Championship Game Waiting List. The waiting list opens every year on August 1st.

2016 marked the final year for the SEC Championship Game to be played at the Georgia Dome. In 2017, the SEC Championship Game moved to the brand new Falcons Stadium in Atlanta.

The SEC Football Champion gets the automatic bid to play in the Sugar Bowl at the Superdome in New Orleans.

If the SEC Football Champion is selected to play in a College Football Semifinal Playoff Game in a year that it is not played in New Orleans, the Sugar Bowl selects the SEC runner-up.

The College Football Playoff Games decide who will play for the College Football National Championship. The College Football Playoff Games are held at alternating New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day Bowl Games.

Permanent Cross Divisional Rival

East Division – West Division
Florida – LSU
Georgia – Auburn
Kentucky – Mississippi State
Missouri – Arkansas
Tennessee – Alabama
Vanderbilt – Ole Miss
South Carolina – Texas A&M

Under the current divisional format, each SEC school plays a total of eight SEC conference games, consisting of the six other teams in its division, one school from the other division on a rotating basis, and one school that is its cross divisional rival.

The SEC instituted this policy to keep some of long standing football rivalries intact, however…

In 2024, the SEC added the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners as well as removing the old divisional structure thereby ending the permanent cross division rivalries and some long standing seasonal rivalries.

Some of the longest SEC rivalries include:
Auburn-Georgia 129 meetings
Mississippi State-Ole Miss 124 meetings
Kentucky-Tennessee 122 meetings
Tennessee-Vanderbilt 121 meetings
LSU-Ole Miss 116 meetings
Alabama-Mississippi State 112 meetings
Alabama-Tennessee 110 meetings
