The Tennessee Volunteers football program (variously called "Vols," "UT", and "Big Orange") represents the University of Tennessee (UT). The Volunteers compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), as members of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

The Vols have played football for 132 seasons, starting in 1891; their combined record of 870–415–53 (.670) ranks them fourteenth on the all-time win list for NCAA football programs.^[3][4] Their all-time ranking in bowl appearances is fifth (55) and eighth in all-time bowl victories (30), most notably four Sugar Bowls, three Cotton Bowls, two Orange Bowls, a Fiesta Bowl, and a Peach Bowl. They have won 16 conference championships and claim six national titles, including two (1951, 1998) from the major wire-service selectors: AP Poll and/or Coaches' Poll.

The Vols play at Neyland Stadium on the university campus in Knoxville, where they have won 485 games, the highest home-field total in college football history for any school at its current home venue. Additionally, its 101,915-seat capacity makes Neyland the nation's sixth largest and third largest in the Southeastern Conference.
