The 2024 Southeastern Conference Softball Tournament, played for the 2024 Southeastern Conference softball season, was the postseason softball tournament that determined the 2024 champion of the Southeastern Conference. It was held at Jane B. Moore Field in Auburn, Alabama from May 7–11, 2024.[4] As the tournament winner, Florida earned the Southeastern Conference's automatic bid to the 2024 NCAA Division I softball tournament. All 12 tournament games were televised, the earlier nine games on the SEC Network and the semifinals and the championship game on ESPN2.[5]

Format

All thirteen teams will be seeded based on conference winning percentage. They then will play a single-elimination tournament, with the top four seeds receiving a single bye, and the bottom two playing the first-round game on May 9. The 13 team format has been the same since 2019.[6][7]
