Fact Checked by Blake Weishaar

Although Tennessee is home to three professional sports teams, there is no denying that the Volunteers are the most popular team across the state. Luckily for its fans, Tennessee sports betting laws allow for wagers on in-state college teams, including the Vols. 

This page will cover everything you need to know about betting on Tennessee athletics.

Which Tennessee Sports Can You Bet On?

There are no specific laws regarding which Tennessee teams you can or can’t bet on, so this largely comes down to what markets each of the TN sportsbook apps offer. However, college prop bets and live betting on game props involving college teams are not allowed in the state.

Tennessee Football

Football betting is king in the US, and it’s no different with Tennessee football. This means you’ll find the most variety when it comes to betting on Vols football compared to other sports. In addition to your standard bets, you’ll find team-level game props you can wager on before kickoff. 

Because of the popularity, you’ll also find betting markets released far earlier than other Vols sports. As an example, FanDuel Sportsbook TN already has a handful of game lines available ahead of the season, as well as Heisman and championship odds.

Tennessee Basketball

Although we’re a few years removed from the Lady Vols' dominance, Tennessee men’s basketball has been picking up the pace in recent seasons. Betting on the Vols basketball teams are a step below football in terms of popularity, but wagering on Tennessee March Madness odds is one of the most exciting events each year.

Tennessee Baseball

Both the men’s and women’s baseball teams have been in national title contention in recent years, and while the betting options aren’t as expansive, most operators will at least have moneyline wagers for key games as well as futures markets like College World Series winner and SEC Championship.

Types of Bets You Can Place on the Tennessee Volunteers

All of the bet types laid out below will be available for football wagers, but some betting markets are extremely limited depending on which Vols team you want to bet on. This is especially true for betting on college baseball.

Can I Bet on College Player Props in Tennessee?

No, Tennessee sports betting law does not allow for individual player props on college athletics. This is becoming the norm across the country as few states permit it. Additionally, live game props on college games are also prohibited.

Are There Promos for Betting on the Vols?

Unless otherwise specifically stated, you can claim Tennessee betting promos for your favorite Volunteers team. It’s always a solid idea to read through the terms and conditions of any sportsbook bonus before claiming it, but particularly if you plan on using it on a Vols bet.
