The tournament has been held every year since 1977, with LSU claiming twelve championships, the most of any school. Original members Georgia and Kentucky along with 1993 addition Arkansas have never won the tournament. This is the twenty-first consecutive year and twenty-third overall that the event has been held at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium, known from 2007 through 2012 as Regions Park. Texas A&M joined in 2013, and won its first title in 2016. Missouri, which also joined in 2013, has yet to win the event.

Missouri would have been ineligible to participate in this year's tournament due to a postseason ban.[3] On March 17, 2020, the SEC cancelled all remaining spring competitions and championships due to the coronavirus pandemic.[4]
