Tennessee Sports Wagering Council 'Approved Licensees and Registrants'. Tennessee is online-only — there is no retail sports betting — so all nine licensees are mobile operators. All nine show a current renewal (most recent renewal dates range 2025-10-24 to 2026-09-07). The Council also publishes separate vendor-registrant and fantasy-sports lists, which are excluded.
