SEC Championship 2025: The stage is set for another heavyweight showdown in the SEC Championship 2025, where the Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs will square off for conference supremacy on December 6 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. This marks the 34th edition of the SEC Championship Game, a fixture that’s become synonymous with high-stakes drama and playoff implications since its inception in 1992. With both teams finishing the regular season at 11-1 overall and 7-1 in SEC play, the winner here punches a ticket straight to the College Football Playoff as the conference’s automatic qualifier, while the loser still eyes an at-large bid.
Georgia locked in their spot first, riding a gritty 11-1 campaign capped by a hard-fought rivalry week victory over Georgia Tech. The Bulldogs, seeded No. 2, have been a model of consistency under Kirby Smart, boasting the league’s stingiest defense that forces turnovers in crunch time and thrives in those trench battles that define SEC football. Their path cleared when Texas A&M stumbled 27-17 to Texas on November 28, eliminating the Aggies from contention and simplifying the tiebreaker math among the four teams knotted at 7-1 in conference play. This will be Georgia’s fifth straight SEC Championship appearance and their 13th overall, a testament to the program’s sustained excellence.
Alabama, the No. 1 seed, clinched its berth with a nail-biting 24-21 win over Georgia back on September 27 in Athens, a game that felt like a championship preview with its late-game heroics and defensive stands. The Crimson Tide sealed the deal in the Iron Bowl, edging Auburn to keep Ole Miss at bay despite the Rebels’ strong finish against Vanderbilt. Tiebreakers favored Alabama thanks to their head-to-head edge and superior records against common opponents, leaving the door shut on a potential four-way scramble. Kalen DeBoer’s squad enters with explosive potential on offense, but it’ll be their ability to contain Georgia’s ground-and-pound attack that could swing the scales.
Kickoff for the SEC Championship 2025 is slated for 4 p.m. ET, broadcast live on ABC – the network’s second year in a row handling the marquee matchup. Doors at Mercedes-Benz Stadium open at 1:30 p.m., giving fans plenty of time to soak in the electric atmosphere of a venue that’s hosted eight previous SEC title games. Atlanta’s become the unofficial home of SEC glory, with this marking the 33rd time the city has played host to the event. Tickets are moving fast, starting around $230 for upper levels, climbing to $380 for mid-tier seats and $900-plus for club access, but resale options through official channels remain available for last-minute grabs.

History looms large in this SEC Championship 2025 rematch. Alabama boasts the most titles in the event’s storied run, with 11 wins to their credit, followed by Florida’s seven. Georgia’s no stranger to the spotlight, having claimed three of the last four crowns, but their October loss to the Tide adds extra fuel to the fire expect a revenge-minded Bulldogs squad to come out swinging. Whichever team emerges victorious won’t just hoist the SEC trophy; they’ll carry the weight of the conference into the expanded 12-team playoff, where every possession in Atlanta could echo through January’s national title chase.
