The 2025 SEC softball tournament championship game between Oklahoma and Texas A&M has been canceled due to weather, the conference announced. First pitch was delayed more than 2.5 hours before commissioner Greg Sankey announced the cancellation and declared the two teams would be co-champions.

The title game between OU and Texas A&M was originally scheduled for 5 p.m. ET on Saturday before the conference shifted it to a 1 p.m. start time. However, rain entered the area Saturday morning and the tarp was still on the field at the expected time of first pitch.

The coaches for both teams eventually met for a long period of time behind home plate at Jack Turner Stadium. Ultimately, the league made the decision not to play the game. Oklahoma gets the SEC’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament as the regular-season champion, but both teams will appear in the bracket during Sunday’s reveal show.

“Due to inclement weather now and predicted for the rest of the day, today’s championship game will not be played,” Sankey said in a statement. “Both Oklahoma and Texas A&M are declared co-champions for the 2025 SEC softball tournament. Congratulations to the Sooners and the Aggies, and best of luck to both teams in the postseason!

“Thank you to Georgia for hosting a tremendous tournament all week. Thank you to all the fans for attending the 2025 SEC softball tournament, and please arrive home safely.”

Oklahoma and Texas A&M both secured their spots in the title game Friday afternoon with victories in the semifinal. The championship game will feature not only the top two seeds in the SEC tournament, but also the top two teams in the country.

Now, the debate will be about which program will come in as the No. 1 overall seed in Sunday’s bracket reveal. Texas A&M headed into Saturday ranked as the top team in the country while Oklahoma came in at No. 2.

The Aggies also sit No. 1 in the RPI with the fifth-toughest strength of schedule, along with a 19-8 record vs. Top-25 RPI teams. The Sooners, meanwhile, sit No. 5 in the RPI and have the No. 16 strength of schedule, as well as an 18-6 record against the RPI Top 25.

Both Oklahoma and Texas A&M will find out their NCAA Tournament fate during Sunday’s selection show. The bracket reveal is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
