Florida will enter the 2026 SEC Tournament as a significant favorite.

The Gators earned the regular season title and the No. 1 seed in the SEC Tournament after rolling to a 16-2 record in conference play. The Gators will enter the postseason on an 11-game win streak, which is the third-longest active streak in the nation.

Given Florida’s dominance in the regular season, it shouldn’t be a surprise to see the Gators as a major favorite to double-up on SEC titles. According to the latest odds on Kalshi, Florida has a 56% chance to win the SEC Tournament.

Here’s a look at the odds for all the top contenders:

The SEC Tournament bracket has been finalized. The Gators have a bye to the quarterfinal round and will not play until Friday. They will face one of LSU, Kentucky or Mizzou in that matchup.

After Florida at 56%, Alabama is a distant No. 2 at 14%. Arkansas (13%) is the only other team in the SEC Tournament with better than a 10% chance to take home the top prize.

The 2026 NCAA Tournament will get underway with first-round matchups on Wednesday.
