We officially have a bracket for the 2026 SEC women’s basketball tournament following Sunday’s end to regular season action.
South Carolina is the 1-seed in the tournament after securing the SEC regular season title for the 5th straight season earlier this week. As it currently stands, the Gamecocks have an 11% chance to win the national title this season, per Kalshi.
The Gamecocks are followed by 2-seed Vanderbilt, which just beat Tennessee earlier on Sunday, 3-seed Texas and 4-seed LSU, all of which will start their tournaments on Friday, March 6 following the first and second rounds.
South Carolina has won 3 straight SEC tournaments, defeating Tennessee, Texas and LSU, in that order. Only one team, Oklahoma, was able to beat the Gamecocks in SEC play this season. However, Texas also beat South Carolina in a game designated as a non-conference matchup in the Players Era Championship.
Here’s a look at the full women’s tournament bracket, with tip times and TV designations for every matchup:
As you can see above, the tournament will start on Wednesday, March 4 with No. 16 Arkansas facing No. 9 Kentucky. The 2026 SEC women’s basketball tournament is held at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina and will end with the championship game on Sunday, March 8.
