The Southeastern Conference (SEC) sponsors nine men's sports and twelve women's sports. This is a list of conference champions for each sport. Also see the list of SEC national champions.

Ten of the thirteen founding members have remained in the conference since its inception. Three schools left the conference before 1966 and four have joined since 1991, bringing the current membership to fourteen.

Champions
Divisional champions
Since the SEC expanded in 1992 Divisional Champions have been crowned. Occasionally, a tie between two or more teams occurs, requiring a tie-break. All teams involved in the tie breaker are considered Co-Divisional Champions, and the winner of the tie-breaker is the division's representative to the Championship Game. Below is list of all Divisional Champions and Co-Champions:
* denotes tie-break winner and subsequent division representative to the SEC Championship Game.
†in 1993 Auburn finished first in the West standings but was ineligible due to NCAA probation and postseason ban.
‡ in 2002 Alabama finished first in the West standings but was ineligible due to NCAA probation and postseason ban.
Southern Conference Football Champions
The Southern Conference was an immediate predecessor to the SEC, with all thirteen charter SEC schools having been members before leaving to form the SEC after the 1932 season.
Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association
The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) was a predecessor to the Southern Conference, with every current and former member of the SEC having been members at some point except Arkansas and Missouri.
Men's basketball
All 14 SEC schools play men's basketball.
Although this article lists both regular-season and tournament champions, the SEC has awarded its official men's basketball championship based solely on regular-season record since the 1950â€"51 season, whether or not the tournament existed at a given time. The tournament, however, does determine the SEC's automatic berth in the NCAA tournament.

Division champions (1992â€"2011)
When the SEC expanded to 12 schools with the addition of South Carolina and Arkansas for the 1992 season, the conference divided its basketball teams into separate divisions, East and West, just like for football. With the addition of Texas A&M and Missouri for the 2012 season, divisions were eliminated in basketball.
Women's basketball
All 14 schools play women's basketball.
Although the SEC began sponsoring women's basketball competition in the 1979â€"80 season, it was not fully integrated into the conference until the 1982â€"83 season, which was the first in which each team played the same number of conference games. Also, although this article lists both regular-season and tournament champions, the SEC has officially awarded its conference title based solely on the regular-season standings since the 1985â€"86 season. From 1980 to 1985, the official SEC champion was the tournament winner, but the tournament now only determines the recipient of the SEC's automatic berth in the NCAA tournament.
Champions
Baseball
All 14 SEC schools play baseball.
The method to determine the SEC Champion has varied greatly:
- 1933-1947: Determined by conference winning percentage.
- 1948-1950: Division leaders met in best of 5 championship series.
- 1951: Determined by conference winning percentage.
- 1952: Division leaders were to meet in best of 3 championship series; Eastern division leader ceded championship series to western division leader.
- 1953-1976: Division leaders met in best of 3 championship series.
- 1977-1985: First SEC Tournament. Determined by top 2 teams from each division playing in double elimination tournament.
- 1986: Determined by top 4 teams overall playing in double elimination tournament.
- 1987: Determined by top 6 teams overall playing in double elimination tournament.
- 1988-1991: Determined by conference winning percentage. Tournament played to award NCAA auto-bid.
- 1992: Determined by conference winning percentage.
- 1993-1995: Determined by conference and tournament winning percentage. NCAA auto-bid is awarded to winner of divisional tournament that *has highest overall conference winning percentage.
- 1996-1997: Determined by conference winning percentage. Tournament played with top 3 teams in each division plus 2 at-large teams based on conference winning percentage to award NCAA auto-bid.
- 1998: Determined as before but with division leaders earning top 2 seeds in tournament.

Champions
Men's tennis
All SEC schools play men's tennis except for Missouri.
From 1953-1989, the SEC Champion was determined by the accumulation of points in an individual flighted tournament (there was not a separate team tournament champion).
In 1990, a team dual match format was instituted for the conference tournament which provided the SEC Tournament Champion.
From 1990-98, the SEC Champion was determined by a total aggregate points accumulated at the conclusion of the conference tournament: one full point was awarded for each regular-season conference win, one-half point for wins in the first two rounds of the conference tournament, one-half point for receiving a first-round bye in the conference tournament and one full point for a win in the conference tournament semifinals and finals.
For the 1999 season, the same points system was in place with a couple of changes: one full point for first-round bye in the conference tournament and one full point for a win in any round of the conference tournament.
In 2000, the SEC changed the determination of its tennis regular season champion to the team with the best winning percentage in conference regular-season dual matches.

Volleyball
Thirteen SEC schools play women's volleyball; Vanderbilt does not. The SEC does not currently sponsor men's volleyball, and no conference member has a varsity men's team.
The SEC Volleyball Tournament was suspended for three seasons after the 2005 season. It was not renewed, but, with the NCAA on the verge of officially adding beach volleyball (then called "sand volleyball") to its Emerging Sports List, the conference's coaches instead sponsored a Commissioner's Cup tournament for that variation of the sport. The tournaments, which were held in mid-April between 2008â€"10, were won by Georgia, South Carolina, and LSU respectively.
