In contrast to some other states that have legalized online sports betting, Tennessee chose to restrict sports betting to online platforms and mobile betting apps. There is currently no provision for physical sports betting establishments to be allowed in the state.

The first online sportsbooks are expected to open for business after live sports resume in 2020. Many live sports were cancelled due to the COVID-19 global pandemic.

With collegiate sports being very popular in the Volunteer State, it is expected that bettors will wager heavily on teams in the local market. Any individual that is over the age of 21 will be allowed to make sports bets with a mobile betting app.
