Nearly every bar around town will be showing Tennessee football's home opener against Furman, but some of our favorite spots to watch the Vols are places where you can see and hear the game.
College football season is the best time of year in Knoxville, and more than 100,000 fans are expected to pour into Neyland Stadium on Sept. 5 as the Volunteers kick off their season against the Paladins. Bars across the city also will be packed with crowds dressed in orange and white.
To save you the hassle of showing up somewhere you can't hear what's happening on TV, here's a quick list of places we know will have the sound on during the game.
Looking for a hole-in-the-wall to kick off the Tennessee football season? Back Door Tavern is a dive bar fixture on Kingston Pike, and it's the place Knox News readers voted Knoxville's best Vols bar in 2025.
With TVs on almost every wall, you shouldn't miss a moment of Tennessee's first game. This bar proudly displays Tennessee flags and signs, as well as Vols memorabilia behind the bar, on the ceiling and above its stage.
