SEC stadiums capacities ranked from smallest to largest for 2026

[ASFN Admin]

From Death Valley to The Swamp, to going Between the Hedges, the Southeastern Conference is home to American cathedrals and coliseums of sport. Saturdays in the South are set aside for football with iconic venues and passionate fan bases. When Oklahoma and Texas joined the SEC, it was like going home.

Oklahoma and Texas' home environments and venues have been perfect fits for what you see on SEC Saturdays in the fall.

In the SEC, five stadiums can hold more than 100,000 people, and another five can hold 80,000 or more. The ACC has just one stadium with a capacity of more than 80,000: Clemson. The Big Ten has five schools with a capacity of more than 80,000, while the Big 12's biggest stadium, BYU's LaVell Edwards Stadium, holds just 62,073. Thirteen SEC schools have stadiums larger than BYU's.

The SEC is literally built different.
