Legal wagering on the NFL continues to expand, with the American Gaming Organization estimating that the handle during the upcoming season is expected to reach $30 billion for the first time.
That total would represent an 8.5 percent increase over the $27.6 billion wagered on the NFL in the 2024 season.
The estimate for 2025 includes what was wagered on preseason games, as well as futures bets made as early as March.
According to the report, legal sports wagering is available in 39 states, as well as Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Missouri will become the 40th state later this year.
California and Texas are two of the 10 states that have yet to legalize sports wagering.
Top sports wagering providers in the United States include DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars Sportsbook, bet365, Fanatics and ESPN BET.
The NFL season officially kicks off next Thursday when the champion Philadelphia Eagles play host to the Dallas Cowboys. The Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers will play one day later at Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The Super Bowl for the upcoming season is scheduled for Feb. 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., home of the San Francisco 49ers.
