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 2025–26 school year. For data on a specific sport, click on the name of the sport or its accompanying picture. In 2025–26, six SEC members combined to claim 12 NCAA national championships: Arkansas in men's indoor and outdoor track & field; Auburn in men's golf; Georgia in women's indoor and outdoor track & field; Oklahoma in baseball and women's gymnastics; Texas in women's rowing, softball, and men's swimming & diving; and Texas A&M in women's tennis and women's volleyball. Also, South Carolina won a championship in women's equestrian, not a fully sanctioned NCAA sport but recognized as part of the NCAA Emerging Sports for Women program.
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 first completed this feat by winning the 2020 National Championship in women's volleyball on April 24, 2021. At the time, the SEC did not sponsor women's rowing, which it added once rowing-sponsoring Oklahoma and Texas joined in 2024. The feat was completed a second time when Texas (which had won three NCAA rowing titles before joining the SEC) won its first championship in that sport as an SEC member on May 31, 2026. Between 1979 and 1982, teams representing current member universities also claimed four AIAW Championships.

Winter sports

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.
