ATLANTA — It looks like the SEC Championship game will remain in Atlanta for a good while longer. How much longer remains to be seen.
SEC officials confirmed Friday its intention to keep playing its ultra-popular conference title game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium beyond 2026, when the current contract expires.
“We’re actively engaged in discussions with Mercedes-Benz Stadium to extend our agreement to keep the SEC Football Championship game in Atlanta,” SEC spokesman Herb Vincent said. “Atlanta’s been a tremendous home for SEC football. Mercedes-Benz provides a tremendous atmosphere and we’re excited about our future in Atlanta.”
