As expected, the Southeastern Conference’s “significant announcement” is a television agreement with ESPN.
The SEC announced this evening that it has finalized a milestone 10-year agreement with ESPN that grants exclusive broadcast rights to premier SEC football and basketball events beginning in 2024-25 and continuing through 2033-34.
The landmark deal, which represents a significant expansion of the conference’s current partnership with ESPN, will establish ABC as the new broadcast network home for Saturday afternoon SEC football games, as well as selected Saturday primetime football games and the annual SEC Football Championship Game, which has grown into one of the most popular sporting events of the year.
