List of Sun Belt Conference football champions

This is a list of yearly Sun Belt Conference football champions. Co-champions are listed in alphabetical order. Since the Sun Belt Conference began sponsoring football in 2001 to the present, there has not been a tie breaker for conference champions.

Schools are listed by their current athletic branding, not necessarily what they used in a given season.
