GAMECOCKS ON TV

The Southeastern Conference boasts one of the best television packages in college sports that provides significant national and regional television coverage of SEC events. The SEC is the most widely distributed conference in the nation, with landmark broadcast rights agreements with CBS and ESPN through 2023-24.

SEC on CBS

CBS Sports is the exclusive national network broadcaster of SEC home football games, including the SEC Championship Game. CBS Sports showcases the top conference matchups each week with the "SEC Game of the Week" national broadcast (usually at 3:30 p.m. ET) as well as two doubleheaders (games at 3:30 p.m. ET and 8:00 p.m. ET). CBS is also the home of the SEC Championship Game.

SEC on ESPN

When the SEC's 15-year deal with ESPN was signed in 2008 it was the longest national rights agreement in ESPN history. ESPN has rights to every SEC home football game (excluding those on CBS). ESPN will televise nearly 400 events each year across multiple platforms, including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN3.com, ESPN Classic, the SEC Network, FSN, and CSS.

SEC Network

ESPN Regional Television is the nation's largest syndicator of collegiate sports programming and is the official over-the-air syndication home for the SEC. The SEC Network features a game-of-the-week package (generally at 12:30 p.m. ET), with a minimum of 13 games each season throughout the SEC footprint and beyond. In addition, ERT produces and distributes a studio show airing at noon ET each week. The SEC Network is not one channel, but a collection of affiliate stations in various local markets. For example, in Columbia the SEC Network affiliate is WOLO-25 ABC. Every week the SEC posts a list of channels and games on their website to help fans find which channel games will be on in their area.

FOX Sports Net

Many SEC games air on FSN's collection of regional networks. In the Southeast, some of these include FOX Sports South, FOX Sports Carolinas, FOX Sports Tennessee, SportSouth, and Sun Sports (Florida).
