ESPN’s College GameDay Covered by State Farm^® closes out its five-show regular season run at the SEC Women’s Championship in Greenville, S.C. on March 8. The show will be live on ESPN from Bon Secours Wellness Arena beginning at noon ET and is also available on the ESPN App and Disney+.

Christine Williamson hosts the show in her first season as part of her expanded role with ESPN and she is joined by 2023 Sports Emmy nominee and basketball analyst Andraya Carter in her fourth season. Rounding out the desk is Chiney Ogwumike – a two-time WNBA All-Star and multi-sport studio analyst – in her third season.

Fans looking to attend the Championship pre-game show will not need a ticket to the game and will be let in on a first-come, first serve basis. Doors open at 11 a.m. ET.

This is the second-straight season the SEC Women’s Championship will be the final destination for GameDay and the show’s third trip to Greenville in March overall. Currently, the SEC has five of the top 10 teams in the AP poll: No. 3 South Carolina, No. 4 Texas, No. 5 Vanderbilt, No. 6 LSU, No. 7 Oklahoma.

GameDay’s Week 2 stop garnered a regular season best 1.2 million viewers ahead of an all-SEC battle between South Carolina and LSU.

Following Champ Week, the show will begin its postseason run with ESPN’s exclusive coverage of the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship.
