The 2015 Southeastern Conference Baseball Tournament will be held from May 19 through May 24 at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in Hoover, Alabama. The annual tournament determines the conference champion of the Division I Southeastern Conference in college baseball. The tournament champion earns the conference's automatic bid to the 2015 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.[3]

The tournament has been held every year since 1977, with LSU claiming eleven championships, the most of any school. Original members Georgia and Kentucky along with 1993 addition Arkansas have never won the tournament. This is the eighteenth consecutive year and twentieth overall that the event has been held at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium.

Format and seeding

The regular season division winners will claim the top two seeds and the next ten teams by conference winning percentage, regardless of division, will claim the remaining berths in the tournament. The bottom eight teams will play a single-elimination opening round, followed by a double-elimination format until the semifinals, when the format will revert to single elimination through the championship game. This will be the third year of this format.[4][5]
