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.[1] SEC members won eight national championships in 2023–24—Arkansas in women's indoor and outdoor track, Auburn in men's golf, Florida in men's outdoor track, LSU in women's gymnastics, South Carolina in women's basketball, Tennessee in baseball, and Texas A&M in women's tennis. Also in 2023–24, both new members won at least one national title as members of the Big 12 Conference—Oklahoma in softball and Texas in women's rowing and women's volleyball.
The SEC has averaged almost seven national championships per year since 1990.[2]
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.

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.

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 1981–82 school year, the AIAW and NCAA both sponsored championships in several women's sports. Starting in 1982–83, the NCAA became the sole sponsor of women's intercollegiate sports championships and national championships in those sports.

The SEC has never sponsored women's rowing; Alabama, Oklahoma and Tennessee and Texas, sponsor the sport. Oklahoma and Texas also, sponsor the sport, and Texas has won three NCAA titles (2021, 2022, 2024).
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.[6] 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.[7]

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:
