Background and venue selection Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina, hosted the tournament for the eighth time. In October 2024, the SEC announced a contract extension with the venue, which secured the arena as the host for the 2026, 2027, and 2028 editions as well. The arena first hosted the tournament in 2005—at that time as the "Bi-Lo Center", prior to its 2013 name change—before hosting the tournament again in 2017. Since then, it has hosted every year since 2019 with the exception of the 2022 tournament, which was held in Nashville.
