Saturday’s SEC Championship game featuring the Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs will be the last ‘The SEC on CBS’ affair as rights to conference fixtures are set to move to ESPN following a 10-year deal finalized at the end of 2020.
The deal will see ABC and ESPN boast exclusive broadcast rights to SEC football and basketball games from 2024.
