The Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt rivalry was played annually in the Southeastern Conference’s East Division before divisions were eliminated ahead of the 2024 season. The in-state rivals have played 118 times since 1892 and the Volunteers officially lead the series 79-32-5 (including 2 wins that Tennessee vacated and no longer counts).
It wasn’t always this one-sided.
Actually, it was, only Vandy held the upper hand. Vanderbilt went 11-0-1 in the first 12 games of the series. The Commodores were 19-2-3 against Tennessee when everything changed. Tennessee hired General Robert Neyland in 1926 and the rivalry flipped. The Volunteers proceeded to go 71-9-2 from 1928 to 2011.
Vandy has battled back a bit recently, winning 5 games from 2012-2018 before Tennessee started a 6-game winning streak that Vanderbilt ended in the 2025 season. (The Vols had to vacate the 2019 and 2020 victories, however, due to recruiting violations under then-coach Jeremy Pruitt.)
Here’s everything you need to know about the Tennessee-Vanderbilt football rivalry, including all-time scores in the series, betting odds and other factoids.
Tennessee officially leads the all-time series with Vanderbilt 79-33-5 after losing the 2025 game. (They’ve defeated Vandy 81 times but vacated 2 of those wins.) Here’s every score in series history:
Vanderbilt defeated Tennessee on Nov. 29, 2025. These betting odds will update automatically every time the line changes.
WIN OR LOSE!
Tennessee beat Vanderbilt 22 consecutive times from 1983-2004. That’s by far the longest winning streak either team produced in series history.
It’s impossible to believe now, but Vanderbilt initially owned the series. The Commodores’ longest winning streak vs. Tennessee is 9 consecutive games, which they accomplished from 1901-1913. That streak was part of a 12-game stretch — the first 12 games in series history — in which Vandy went 11-0-1 against the Vols.
