Tennessee football announces 2025 Orange & White Game date and kickoff time

Amid spring games being canceled across college football in fear of losing players to the transfer portal, Tennessee football has announced the date and time for its 2025 Orange & White Game. 

The 2025 Orange & White Game will occur on April 12, with kickoff scheduled for 2:00 PM ET. This year, capacity will be limited again to 45,000 fans with ongoing construction inside Neyland Stadium.

The north end of the stadium and the east sideline will be fully open. The West sideline will be limited to only the lower half of sections W-R. 

Gates 1-3 and 19-25 will be open as entrances into the stadium. You can see a full map of the stadium ahead of the spring game in Tennessee's press release.

For the fans who won't be in attendance, there will be no live TV broadcast of the game. Vol Network will offer a radio broadcast of the game, but a television broadcast will not be available. 

Josh Heupel is entering his fifth year as Tennessee's head coach. The Vols have won ten games in two of the last three seasons and have made one College Football Playoff appearance. 

Heupel has retooled Tennessee's roster with additions through the transfer portal and traditional recruiting in hopes of continuing its momentum from last year. 

One big focus for Heupel and the Vols was improving the offensive line. Tennessee lost a lot of production in the trenches, and the coaching staff wanted to ensure a solid offensive line for 2025.

With no television broadcast, most of Vol Nation won't be able to put the new-look offensive line and improved roster to the eye test this spring.
