Tennessee football will hold its annual Orange and White spring game on April 12 this season, the program announced on Thursday morning.

The Vols did not include any additional details for the game including what time it will kick off at or how the ongoing construction at Neyland Stadium will affect ticket availability. The Neyland Stadium construction process have significantly impacted the Orange and White game in recent years.

Tennessee did not hold a spring game open to the media in 2022 instead opening up one intrasquad scrimmage to the media. The Vols returned to Neyland Stadium in 2023 with a limited capacity and that was again the case in 2024 when attendance was capped at 10,000 due to the ongoing construction.

While Tennessee has not announce attendance or capacity details for the 2025 spring game, construction on Neyland Stadium resumed last month after the conclusion of the 2024 regular season.

The Vols have often tied the Orange and White game together with the a big Tennessee baseball home series but that is not the case this season. Tony Vitello’s eighth Tennessee team plays a three-game series at Ole Miss the weekend of this year’s spring game.

Tennessee is coming off a 10-3 (6-2 SEC) 2024 season that saw the Vols make the College Football Playoffs for the first time ever. Expectations remain high entering the 2025 season though Josh Heupel’s squad is going under some roster turnover.

On the offensive side of the ball, Tennessee loses SEC Offensive Player Dylan Sampson, at least three starting offensive lineman and a number of contributions at receiver. Defensively, Tennessee loses Will Brooks, James Pearce and a number of other defensive linemen.

But Tennessee has a number of crucial players back starting with quarterback Nico Iamaleava. The Vols also return an abundance of key players on defense especially on the back two levels.

The Vols play the same eight SEC teams from a season ago with the location of the games flipped. Tennessee plays critical road games at Alabama and Florida as well as key home games against Georgia, Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Heupel’s fifth Tennessee team faces Syracuse in its season-opener in Atlanta in its marquee non conference matchup.
