The field is officially set for the 2026 SEC Tournament.
Fifteen teams head to Lexington on Tuesday hoping to capture the softball tournament title. Oklahoma, which won the regular-season crown on Saturday with a victory over Texas A&M, will be seeking a third title sweep in 4 years. The Sooners shared the SEC Tournament crown last season with Texas A&M after the final was canceled because of weather.
Alabama, Florida, and Texas (in order) earned the other double-byes, rounding out the top 4 seeds in the field.
This year’s tournament begins on Tuesday, May 5. The championship game will be played on Saturday, May 9. The first 3 days will be carried on SEC Network before the broadcast shifts to ESPN for the final 2 days of the event.
