The wait is officially over for sports fans across the Show-Me State! Legal sports betting in Missouri launches on December 1st, 2025, opening up a new world of engagement for enthusiasts. From our beloved St. Louis Blues hitting the ice on day one to the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl aspirations, local bettors will have plenty of action to dive into.
A New Era for Missouri Sports Fans
Missourians can look forward to placing wagers on their favorite teams and athletes as a host of major sportsbooks go live. Prominent platforms like FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars, bet365, and Fanatics Sportsbook are among those ready to offer odds, totals, and player props. While the launch missed the start of football season, there’s still a wealth of exciting action remaining for 2025 and beyond.
Local Teams in the Spotlight
St. Louis Blues: First on the Ice
Making history, the St. Louis Blues will be the very first professional Missouri team to play on the inaugural day of sports betting. They host the Ducks on December 1st, kicking off a week of four games for the NHL franchise. Despite a slow start to the 2025-26 season, sitting seventh in the Central Division, more than 50 games remain for Blues fans to support their team with a bet. Currently, DraftKings lists the Blues at +7,000 to win the Stanley Cup and +5,000 to claim the Western Conference.
Kansas City Chiefs: Super Bowl Hopes
NFL action will be a major draw, with the Week 13 Monday Night Football game (Giants vs. Patriots) being the first available for Missourians. By Week 14, St. Louis bettors can wager on the Chiefs’ primetime Sunday night showdown against the Texans, among other intriguing matchups. Beyond individual games, the Chiefs hold strong Super Bowl aspirations, with odds like +950 on DraftKings and +1,000 on FanDuel to win it all. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is also a contender for NFL MVP at +2,000, according to BetMGM, showcasing various opportunities for fans.
| Team/Player | Market | DraftKings Odds | FanDuel Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kansas City Chiefs | Super Bowl Winner | +950 | +1,000 |
| Missouri Tigers (CBB) | National Championship | N/A | +10,000 |
Missouri Tigers Basketball: Early Season Success
The college basketball season is in full swing, and our very own Missouri Tigers are off to a perfect 6-0 start. Fans can now place bets on their journey, with FanDuel offering +10,000 odds for the Tigers to win the national championship and +1,600 to secure the SEC title.
MLB Offseason: Cardinals and Royals Futures
Even in the MLB offseason, betting markets are active. St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals fans can place futures bets on the 2026 season. The Royals are listed at +4,000 on DraftKings to win the World Series, while the Cardinals are further back at +10,000. For league titles, Kansas City is +2,000 to win the AL, and St. Louis is +4,500 to claim the NL.
What Else to Watch For
While the college football regular season is wrapping up, bettors can still engage with conference championship week, bowl games, and the exciting 12-team playoff. The Missouri Tigers, ranked 22nd, are set for a bowl game in December or January.
