SHORT ANSWER

Yes, for now, and contested. Polymarket says it accepts Tennessee. Novig says it accepts Tennessee, sports included. Tennessee sent cease-and-desist letters to Kalshi and Polymarket on 9 Jan 2026; M.D. Tenn. enjoined enforcement against Kalshi on 19 Feb and the Sixth Circuit vacated that injunction on 25 Sep 2026.
