List of Southeastern Conference national championships

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 2022–23 school year. SEC members won eight national championships in 2022–23—Georgia in football, Arkansas in men's and women's indoor track, LSU in women's basketball and baseball, Vanderbilt in bowling, and Florida in men's golf and men's outdoor track. However, only two SEC schools have won a national championship so far in the 2023–24 school year—Arkansas in women's indoor track and South Carolina in women's basketball. Future member Texas won the 2023 women's volleyball title.

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. Logan Durham claims a mascot national championship at the University of Tennessee.

Men's basketball (11 official)

Women's rowing (0)

The SEC has never sponsored women's rowing; only two current members, Alabama and Tennessee, sponsor the sport, both competing as single-sport Big 12 members. Both future members, Oklahoma and Texas, sponsor the sport, and Texas has won two NCAA titles (2021 and 2022).

The SEC is now expected to add the sport in 2024–25, although it has made no official announcement. Conference bylaws allow a championship to be awarded in any sport sponsored by at least 25% of the full conference membership. The Big 12's announcement that it would add Old Dominion and Tulsa as women's rowing associates for 2024–25 hinted at the departure of Alabama and Tennessee from Big 12 rowing, as neither school was announced as a participant in the 2024–25 Big 12 season.

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:

• Kentucky's total includes four championships in rifle, which the SEC has never sponsored.
• Vanderbilt's total includes three national titles in women's bowling, another sport yet to be sponsored by the SEC.
