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.
Next Volunteers CBB Game
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.
Latest Volunteers Odds
The number of available betting markets for the Volunteers will depend on which sports or in season and/or the betting site you're on. As of August 2025, here are the latest Vols odds when it comes to futures markets.

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.
