The SEC football championship game will remain at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta through at least 2031, the conference announced Thursday.
The agreement is an extension of the current contract that was set to expire in 2026 and allows the SEC the option of exercising an additional five-year extension that could keep the game in Atlanta through 2036.
Atlanta has hosted the SEC championship game every year since 1994, with Saturday's Alabama-Georgia matchup being the 30th. The Georgia Dome was home to the game through 2016, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium has hosted the game since 2017.
