It has about 1,300 inhabitants.

Sepekov consists of three municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census): • Sepekov (1,129) • Líšnice (175) • Zálší (14)

The name Sepekov was derived from the Old Czech verb péci sě ('to care'), meaning "the settlement of people who care too much".

Sepekov is located about 23 km northeast of Písek and 64 km south of Prague. It lies in the Tábor Uplands. The highest point is the hill Chlum at 540 m above sea level. The Smutná River and several streams flow through the municipal territory. There are several fishponds in the territory.

The first written mention of Sepekov is from 1243. The village was owned by the Rosenberg family until 1484, when they sold it to Zdeslav of Sternberg. In the 16th century, it was acquired by the Schwamberg family and joined to the Bechyně estate. When Peter Vok of Rosenberg bought this estate in 1569, it excluded Sepekov, which was joined to the Milevsko estate. Milevsko was bought by the Hodějovský of Hodějov family, but their properties were confiscated after the Battle of White Mountain in 1620. In 1623, Sepekov was donated to the Strahov Monastery. In 1869, Sepekov was promoted to a market town.

The I/19 road (the section from Plzeň to Tábor) runs through the northern part of the market town. Sepekov is located on the railway line Tábor–Písek.
