The 2024 Southeastern Conference baseball tournament was the postseason baseball tournament for the Southeastern Conference for the 2024 NCAA Division I baseball season, held from May 21–26 at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in Hoover, Alabama.[2] Tennessee earned the conference's automatic bid to the 2024 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.
This is the twenty-fifth consecutive year and twenty-seventh overall that the event has been scheduled to be held at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium, known from 2007 through 2012 as Regions Park.
The regular season division winners claim the top two seeds and the next ten teams by conference winning percentage, regardless of division, claim the remaining berths in the tournament. The bottom eight teams play a single-elimination opening round, followed by a double-elimination format until the semifinals, when the format reverts to single elimination through the championship game. This is the eleventh year of this format.[3] [4]
