The best of Southeastern Conference women’s soccer will return to the Gulf Coast this fall when the 2025 SEC Women’s Soccer Championship kicks off Nov. 2-9 at Ashton Brosnaham Soccer Complex in Pensacola. The single-elimination tournament will feature the league’s top 12 teams vying for the conference crown and an automatic bid to the NCAA Division I Championship.

  • This year’s field will include 12 programs based on regular-season standings. Ten schools — including Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississippi State, LSU, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Alabama — have clinched their places in Pensacola. Auburn, Texas A&M and Florida remain in contention for the final two spots. The final bracket will be released Sunday evening after the last regular-season games determine the remaining qualifiers.

“We’re thrilled to welcome the best of SEC women’s soccer back to Pensacola,” said Ray Palmer, President and CEO of Pensacola Sports. “This event has quickly become one of the highlights of our sports calendar, bringing incredible energy and national attention to our community.”
