SEC Championship Game

The SEC Championship Game is an annual American football game that determines the Southeastern Conference’s season champion. For its first 32 seasons, the championship game pitted the Eastern Division regular season champion against the Western Division regular season champion. With the SEC eliminating football divisions after the 2023 season, the game now features the top two teams in the conference standings. The game is regularly played on the first Saturday of December. The first two editions of the game were held at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama, with all subsequent games being held in Atlanta since 1994, first at the Georgia Dome, and at its replacement Mercedes-Benz Stadium since 2017.
