College Football Betting FAQs

Yes, you can bet on college football in Virginia with one exception: you can't place bets on Virginia-based football teams. That means while in Virginia, you can't place bets on teams like the Virginia Cavaliers and Virginia Tech Hokies.

The Virginia Tech Hokies and the University of Virginia Cavaliers are considered the top teams in Virginia. Both have been around for over a century, as Virginia Tech began its program in 1892 and Virginia started its program in 1887.

There are several legal sportsbooks available in Virginia. While you cannot bet on Virginia-based college teams, you can bet on teams from other states using licensed websites like FanDuel, DraftKings, betMGM, Caesars Sportsbook, and many more.
